Knowing where people are coming from and where they get their information is always important. Below are the sources that I have used with my research for my practices. It is not a conclusive list in any way regarding sources on Indo-European or Gaulish polytheism, but it is a good place to start and I highly recommend all of these sources.
Gaulish Studies:
Ancient Fire: An Introduction to Gaulish Celtic Polytheism by Segomâros Widugeni: This is a go-to for anyone who is looking for a good introduction book to Gaulish polytheism.
The Celtic Gauls: Gods, Rites, and Sanctuaries by Jean-Louis Brunaux: This book is a short, but condensed, overview of the Gaulish Celts and their culture. It is great for beginners.
Celts and the Classical World by David Rankin: This book is an in-depth look into the classical writers who wrote about the Celts on the continent and their involvement with the Mediterranean world. The book looks at what was written, who wrote it, where they come from, why they were writing about the Celts, and what other personal biases they had all within a historical context. The book’s main focus is with the Continental Celts, but it also has a couple chapters on the Iberian and Galatians Celts, as well as references to the Britton and Irish Celts for some cross analysis.
Lady with a Mead Cup: Ritual, Prophecy and Lordship in the European Warband from La Tene to the Viking Age by Michael J. Enright: This book is an in depth look into Celtic and European war bands of the Hallstatt Celts and the later Germanic culture in relation with neighboring cultures such as the Greeks.

Ogam: Weaving Word Wisdom by Erynn Rowan Laurie
Celtic Myths and Legends by T.W. Rolleston (note: The strength of this text is the translations, which starts in Chapter 3. Chapter 1 has some solid information from historical sources, but you can skip chapter 2 since it focuses on how the academic community saw the Celtic culture in the early 1900s)
