message: I doubt there is any information about Celtic Asturs' religion, gods or mythology. 
How come can anyone say the Luggones praised Lugh? (and please, realise that that wouldn't have been its name in Astur language). Toponymy isn't a good indicator for that... otherwise one can think the Astur were named for the God (áss) Thor (tur). If you don't agree with what I am saying, please quote those statements in the article.

replies: text: Lugones (Llugones) comes directly from Latin (and this from the former tribe). A gravestone mentioning Lugh was found some years ago near Lugo de Llanera (by the way, sharing the same root). Beleño(there are some villages with this name)is thought to be derived from Belenos, according to X.García Arias. As for Taranis, I do not know. I can recall Taranes (Ponga),but I do know the origin of the name. It is curious that Taranes and one Beleño are very close to each other in Asturias eastern mountains.

text: References to Taranis/Taranus are also common in the Asturian toponomy, and they usually locate a high mountain peak. Some examples: Taraño (Corvera), Taraña (Siero) , Taranes (Ponga) , etc. But the most impressing toponym from this point of view is Tarañosdios (literally: "The god Taraños"- dios = god in spanish and asturian), also known as Tarañu (Cangas de Onís) . As the Taranis article says: "The reconstructed lexis of the Proto-Celtic language as collated by the University of Wales [1] suggests that the name is likely to be ultimately derived from the Proto-Celtic *Toranos. This Proto-Celtic word means ‘thunder.’ In present day Welsh Taranu means 'to thunder'."--Ravenloft 13:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Celts did not come from Bavaria / Bohemia, but from the valley of the Rhone in France. From there they migrated to Iberia and Bavaria / Bohemia (and beyond) - to become the Hallstadt culture. This is proven by J. Udolph's analysis of river names.
But what means ,Astur' as name of the country, a river or a tribe? There must be publications. 130.133.155.69 (talk) 11:54, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
