The name “Alator” means “he who nourishes the people,” and is pronounced “AH-la-tor.” This Celtic God is a God of the Hunt. He is also a warrior God and a God of the people. Little is known about Alator. His name appears on a plaque found at Barkway, Hertfordshire and in an inscription on an altar found at South Shields, County Durham. In both cases, Alator is equated with Mars. Since Alator is a God of the Hunt, he is often invoked during enactments of the Wild Hunt, usually at Samhain.
Animals sacred to Alator are the woodpecker and the wolf. Alator’s sacred plants include any thorny or red plants.
