Description
Celtic Mother Goddess of Water, Inspiration, Intellect, warriors, Sailors, Fishermen, Rivers, The Earth, Fertility, wisdom, Wind, creation, all Celtic people, and the Land.

She is considered to be the oldest of all Celtic deities. In Celtic mythology, she is the mother of the gods, who birthed all things into being. She is also associated with fairies and fairy lore.

Danu is the Mother of The Tuatha De Danann, the Irish Gods, which literally means the Children of Danu. All the Danann can trace their Lineage back to her. The Danaan were a group of people who had been exiled from Ireland, and scattered. In Irish folklore, they are known as the fairy people who are skilled in magic.

It is thought that Danu offered them her patronage, which helped them to reband and learn new magic skills. With that, they were able to return to Ireland in a magical mist. The mist is thought to be the caring embrace of Danu herself.

She is seen as having nurtured these broken people back to strength, and imparting magic and esoteric wisdom to them. For this reason, the Tuatha Dé Danaan were associated with craftsmanship, music, poetry and magic, and Danu herself.

It is said that the name Danu means “flowing one.” As such, her name is usually associated with the Danube river. She was also a teacher, as she passed many of her skills on to the Tuatha Dé Danaan. She also had aspects of the warrior goddess.

Not much is known about her, she is rather mysterious.
