I want to know of more gods like Cernunnos?
Like in the pagan religions of Wicca, Druidism, etc. Like name at least three gods like Cernunnos, or at least fatherly-like like Him, and describe them and tell facts about them, please? Thank you!
(Now I said gods, not goddesses. Personally, I feel more connected with gods than the goddesses.)

So You must already know that Cernunnos is the Celtic version of the male God.
In a more localized tradition in Berkley, Windsor Forest area, the tradition and folklore speak of Hern the Hunter. It would take hours and hours to type all the facts about him but I will paste links for you to go read yourself:

After reading, you'll see that when horned Gods are mentioned in Pagan circles, Hern is one of the Gods named, in the stories told, he was a human to start with.
Pan is a Greek God, depicted as half man half goat, a God of the wild, of shepherds and flocks, nature, of mountain and the wilds.

The Green Man: Most call him a God/Deity of nature and he is depicted as a leafy form of a man sometimes with animal horns or branches taking the place of horns.
Along with nature deities, Wikipedia has a listing of different nature Gods and Goddesses, just pick out the male ones you want to read up one, from many cultures around the world.

I have not heard of any other specific Horned gods named. Usually all the folks I know who are pagan/wiccan/druid just say 'the horned God'.
Here's a treat for you. If you haven't heard of the singer/songwriter Damh the Bard, he writes songs out of his Druid beliefs. I love his songs. I am giving a link to one in which he mentions the Green Man, Cernunnos, Pan and Herne. Listen to his other songs on you tube and enjoy.
