You may have noticed a flurry of updates and changes on the BNG site — and yes, you’re right! We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, polishing, expanding, and breathing new life into several areas of the site.
Bessus Nouiogalation is a living tradition. That means our bessus — our custom — is always evolving. As we grow, reflect, and refine, so too does the space that holds our work. This round of updates has brought more cohesion, deeper content, and finally, the completion (well, for now!) of some projects that have been patiently waiting their turn.
Here’s a quick rundown of what’s new:
New and Updated Sections
- Bessus (Custom)
This section has been reorganized for better clarity and flow. - Tegobessus (House Custom) Intro
Now complete (at least until we inevitably add more!). This is a major update that brings the full personal practice section into the light.
Full content list
- Tegobessus I: Nemeton (Sacred Space)
- Tegobessus II: Addatus (Offering)
- Tegobessus III: Adgarion (Invocations)
- Tegobessus IV: Adaððus aidoniâs (Hearth Rite)
- Tegobessus V: Tegatis (House spirit)

- More art is being added around the site/
- Morisenon
A new deity entry has been added, honoring Morisenon and their place in our living pantheon. - Morisenon Uēdiās (Prayers)
Along with the deity page, we’ve added a collection of prayers for and to Morisenon. - Caddoi Senuî (Sacred Symbols)
This is a new section exploring sacred Gaulish symbols. It’s still in progress, but already has some rich insight to explore. - Tegosnamon – Myth of the Home
Added to the Bessus Nouiogalation Myths section, this new entry encourages you to reflect on and build your own house mythology as part of your spiritual practice.
Community Reflections
We’ve also added the Uirā Toutionon section — a place for members of our Touta to share insights, reflections, poems, and thoughts on BNG practice. This is your space to help shape and reflect the living tradition.
New Orders: Slougoi
This one has been in the works since BNG began — and it’s finally happening!
We’ve launched the first Slougos (Order/Group)
- Slougos Gutuatron (Order of the Gutuatîr) – Now live!
- Slougos Uation (Order of the Uatis) – Coming soon.
These Slougoi will allow members to dive deeper into particular paths within BNG, reflecting different roles and areas of focus.
Coming Soon: Tegobessus Booklet
We’re currently preparing an offering for the Gaulish Polytheism website community: a downloadable booklet on Tegobessus — designed to help people create and cultivate their personal house custom. Stay tuned!
BNG continues to grow because of all of you — your passion, your practice, and your presence. Every prayer, every question, every reflection adds to the whole. We’re grateful you’re walking this path with us.
You give so that we may give. And we give so that you may give.
