Lusitanian (or Ancient Portuguese) Gods were later related with the Celtic and Roman invaders. The Lusitani people adopted the Celt and Roman cults and influenced them with theirs. Many Lusitani gods were adopted by the Romans.

Endovelicus was the supreme god, being the god of health, and it formed a trinity with Ataegina, the Goddess of cure, Moon and rebirth; and Runesocesius, the javelin god.

The Lusitanians, as the Romans describe it, made human and animal sacrifices to their gods. They use their pagan religion to cure themselves, for protection and for cursing someone.
