Some of the ancient Túatha de Danann goddesses and gods have all come back to the Earth to serve the peoples of the planet as living legends. Danann (Dana, Danna, Danu, Dina, Don) was the Pan-Celtic, triple mother goddess of abundance, arts, craftsmanship, shapeshifting, wealth, and wisdom. "Water from Heaven", "Richness of Light" and "Strength of Life", she was the most ancient of the "Mother Goddesses" of Ireland, the Welsh "Progenitor Goddess Don" described in the "Mabinogion", and the "Primordial Waters Goddess Danu" described in the Hindu Vedas. There were diverse sanctuaries in Ireland that honored the fecundity and primeval vegetation Triple Goddess Danu, who was also referred to in the "Books of Invasions" and "Cycles of Kings".
Danann was a Shaman and
her children of light were known as the Crane People, the Túatha Dé Danann, the
Greek Pelasgians, the Indian Danavas, and the Danish Danaans.
Danann and her soulmate husband periodically sojourn awhile at one of the Earth Mysteries Newgrange, a Megalithic Irish Passage Cairn, which is located in County Meath, Ireland. Danann shares this Sacred Site focal point with her soulmate husband Daghda. The Valley Mound built around 3,200 BCE with a facade of sparkling white quartz was a Sacred Temple, spiritually and astronomically aligned with the Winter Solstice Sunrise. A World Heritage Site, Newgrange is older than either the Egyptian Giza Pyramids or the English Stonehenge. Ninety Seven Kerbstones, many of them inscribed with sacred triple spiral, spiral, concentric circle, and triangle symbols, surround the Passage Cairn. Daghda (Dagda) was a Celtic god, All Father, and Lord of Perfect Knowledge, who was revered as the eldest and most powerful of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Daghda carried a steaming cauldron under his arm and a harp on his back.
Renown as the wisest of
Druids, the bestower of the sacred fire, and the victorious adjudicator, his
symbols were the Cauldron of Bounty (always full and never dry), the Club that
Slays and Revives (kills with one end and heals with the other), and the Harp of
the Seasons (plays four cornered music that turns the seasons).
