Be it Gaulish, Brythonic, Welsh, or Gaelic. What makes it different from Greco-Roman or Germano-Nordic mythology? What deities, magic, mythical creatures, practices, stories, etc. are involved? I always see the "Celtic" label in many fantasy-inspired books, music, or aesthetics, but what exactly do they mean?

Sounds like Roman propaganda recycled by unquestioning modern feminist historians

I did have a course in Norse and Celtic mythology at university, with some comparison of myths that were similar in the two mythologies.

I don't remember a lot, but much of it was documented by Irish monasteries, which for centuries were researching and working with Irish mythology. I think they changed some of it to fit a Christian context though, but I don't really remember, and maybe I'm mixing things now.

Irish monks basically took Irish mythology and interpreted it in a historical lens where the "gods" were ancient men. Like what Snorri Sturlsson thought about the Aesir/Vanir etc.
Not much of the myth remained verbatim, but by comparing it with known celtic gods/myths from elsewhere, parallels can be drawn.

Here you have 44 pages pdf in English with the celtic gods in the Iberian Peninsula. And most of these gods are the same in other European countries.

Iberian celts had an incredible culture and mythology before the Romans destroyed everything.
