Let's keep in mind that The statue they found is not 100 accurate about it really being Taranis. Annals tells us more about this Gaelic (West-european) and we assume this should be Taranis. Just a head up

As ever very interesting - here we have few links via the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon to a Thunder God.
Is there an English translation of Rübekeil (Rübekeil L. Wodan und andere forschungsgeschichtliche Leichen: exhumiert, Beiträge zur Namenforschung 38 (2003), ?
I would be interested in his arguments for a Celtic origin for Odin. I'd always thought that the Vanir would be more likely to have a Celtic origin than the Aesir.

Most dear is fire to the sons of men,
most sweet the sight of the sun;
good is health if one can but keep it,
and to live a life without shame. (Havamal 68)
