Ogma, who is often referred to as “Splendor of the Sun,” occasionally appears with the other two as reinforcement. When he is described, Ogma usually is a tanned strongman with a club. He also serves a “binder god” in Irish myth, who leads the dead to the afterworld where they await rebirth. However, Ogma is best known as the god of the spoken word and the inventor of Ogham, the first writing system in Ireland. Ogham, which combines Celtic and Roman forms of writing, uses a series of horizontal strokes along a stem line. Because it was an inefficient form of writing, Ogham was primarily a ceremonial form of writing, usually used for inscriptions for the dead.

Grannus

In the Celtic polytheism of classical antiquity, Grannus (also Granus, Mogounus,[1] and Amarcolitanus[2]) was a deity associated with spas, healing thermal and mineral springs, and the sun.[citation needed] He was regularly identified with Apollo as Apollo Grannus. He was frequently worshipped in conjunction with Sirona, and sometimes with Mars and other deities.[3]

The name of the Gallo-Roman healing god (Apollo) Grannus has always been subject to some controversy. Three proposals concerning its etymology have been put forward: It has been associated with a word ‘beard, eyebrow’ derived from the Indo-European root *gher-/ghrē- ‘project, stand out’, meaning ‘(god) with (long, bushy) hair, beard or eyebrows’. It has been linked to IE *gwher- ‘warm, hot’ and alternatively explained as ‘sun (god)’, ‘(god of) thermal wells’ and the like. This is of further interest as it would be one of the few instances of initial *gwh- known at present in Continental Celtic. Recently, a connection with IE *ĝher- ‘shine, gleam’ has been suggested. I shall examine these proposals and contribute some arguments hitherto not taken into consideration, particularly from the field of Celtic archaeology.
