!["Aengus or Óengus is one of the Tuatha Dé Danann and a god associated with youth, love, summer and poetic inspiration. The son of The Dagda and Boann, Aengus is also known as Macan Óc (\"the young boy\" or \"young son\"), and corresponds to the Welsh mythical figure Mabon and the Celtic god Maponos. He plays a central role in five Irish myths. In Old Irish his name is Óengus or Oíngus [ˈoiŋɡus], a name attested in Adomnán's Life of St Columba as Oinogus(s)ius.bThis is believed to come from a Proto-Celtic name meaning \"true vigour\".

From "Irish Folk Ways" by E. Estyn Evans, 1957
Most people do not believe in elves. The little people, along with fairies, banshees, and werewolves, are often thrown into the category of ‘fantasy’ and left to molder unless some video game or children’s book decides to make use of them for commercial purposes.
Ancient Ireland, Scotland and England had a fantastic folk religion that has been classed as Celtic. The way into understanding these religions is through the Druids.
