There were a number of deities in the Doccábh religion, who were highly regionalised, and a full list cannot be constructed; however the main pantheon around which most myths centered was fairly stable, and some gods were popular enough to be well-documented. A large amount of information on the deities commonly celebrated was compiled in YEAR by the scholar Hidythêri Chadhynerh in his book Îr bŷdhirîn, or "Of the gods".
