Question 881: Star and Slash

X was a Celtic god worshipped in ancient Gual and Britain. On the basis of his name's etymology, he has been widely interpreted to be a tribal protector. Today, he is best known through the catchphrase Y inveneted for the Z books by A & B, its authors. X was one of three Celtic gods mentioned by the Roman poet Lucan in the 1st century AD, the other two being Esus and Taranis. According to later commentators, victims sacrificed to X were killed by being plunged headfirst into a vat filled with an unspecified liquid. A asteroid has also been named after X.
Solve for A, B, X, Y and Z.
