Before the reading
Think about Christ and God (Catholic). Can they be cruel with the people who adore them? Why do you think this happens?
The Celts did not have a myth for creation or for desctruction, like Ragnarök, because
they communicated their
myths orally. The only written information was the one given for the Romans and they did not like the Celts (too barbaric in Romans' opinion). For that reason you will focus on one god this time, about the Celtic God Sucellos.
He's known as the Good Striker. This has no connection with baseball, it refers to his hammer. If you're dying, he'll put you out of your misery. This is the origin of the phrase "Three strikes and you're out".
On a more positive note, if he hits the ground, you'll get plenty of prosperity and luck. And also a dented lawn. So, it could be that after the second hit you will have prosperity, but only after having suffer a while.
Apart from the hammer, Sucellos is known for carrying around a large pot which is filled with goodies. Probably potatoes. Although in some regions he is known as a God of Alcohol, so he might be on his way to a bring-a-bottle party.
Now, you can play in this HotPotato # 7 bout Sucellos.
After the reading
Now that you know about the Celtic God imagine and write: How would Sucellos react with a homeless that you know? Think about it and write a brief story which the homeless meets Sucellos before dying.
