Goddess Danu

                                       
               


I want to start off with a story about the Goddess Danu.   The Goddess Danu is linked to Bile.   Bile is the god of light and healing.    Bile is represented  as a sacred oak tree or the artwork we see of the celtic tree and he was fed and nutured by Danu.   And through their union, Daghdha was born.   Later on, I will do a page devoted to Bile.      

There was also a group of people who descended from Nemed, who were exiled from Ireland and scattered abroad.   Danu offered her support and they were able to recover and she taught them new and magickal skills and they returned to Ireland in a magickal mist.   

Danu nurtured them and these broken people regained their strength and were imparted with magick and esoteric wisdom.   The name of these chosen people were, The Tuatha De Danaan and they represent the powers of light and knowledge.   In this story, we see the Goddess Danu as the nurtering mother, the teacher of wisdom and also the warrior goddess.   The gifts they received were for craftsmanship, music, poetry and magicak. 

The more I learn about Danu the deeper my devotion grows for her. Danu is the goddess of healing, Light magicak, transformation, the underworld, water, earth, air. She is also connected to the festivals Yule, Imbolc, Lammas and Mabon.

Goddess Danu is our Universal Mother!
