Believe me, I get it; in this day and age, when we’re constantly bombarded by subversives, globalists and wiccatrus, suggesting things like deities were worshipped by multiple cultures can set off alarm bells.
It seems like too many people have an “all or nothing” mentality which doesn’t allow them to comprehend things that aren’t polar opposites. But our ancestors certainly didn’t; for example, Celts, Romans and Germanic tribes worshipped Nehalennia around the North Sea and in Britain.
This doesn’t mean that each culture’s own relationship with each deity isn’t unique. Do people think that when the Indo-European peoples migrated to new lands, that they founded entirely new cults to new pantheons after trashing their old ones?
The idea that the Gods can only be perceived by certain peoples can also be the gateway to the schools of Jungian archetypes, metaphors, placentas, and ultimately, atheism.

Objectively and with evidential proof the same. Trying to suggest otherwise would reek of subversion and methods to sow division again in Europe and the Americas.

"The women of the Celtic tribes are BIGGER and STRONGER than our Roman Women. This is most likely due to their Natures as well as their peculiar fondness for all things martial and robust. The Flaxen Haired Maidens of the North are trained in Sports and War while our Gentle Ladies are content to do their womanly duties and thus are less powerful than most Young Girls from Gaul and the Hinterlands.”

“I am the forest, I am ancient. I treasure the stag, I treasure the deer. I shelter you from storm, I shelter you from snow. I resist the frost, I keep the source. I nurse the earth, I am always there. I build your house, I kindle your hearth. Therefore, you people, hold me dear.”

THE PICTS:
The Picts were a Celtic Group in Northern Britain and what is now known as Scotland. They were considered Fierce Warriors by the Romans, who gave them the name "Picts", which roughly translates to "Painted Ones" — This name was given to the Picts, after the Romans had encountered them and their Ornate Tattoos, Body Painting and their Practice of dying their entire bodies Blue with Woad.
They were an Enemy the Romans proved unable to Conquer. However; they were actually a relatively Peaceful Farming People who claimed to be descended from the Goddess Brighid ~ It is said that a Goddess had walked their Land and everywhere her foot touched, was Sacred and they fiercely fought to protect it.
The Picts had Pastoral Lands and raised Wool/Flax for Clothing. Later on, after the Judeo-Christianization of the Picts, they would later merge with other Tribes, such as the Gaels/Scots which would result in the formation of the Kingdom of Alba.
