Danu - The Great Mother

The Goddess Danu, legendary Matriach of the Tuatha De Danaan, is said to be an Earth Goddess. Her name means wisdom or giving, root of the word "donate". Often during midsummer, great balefires are lit in the hills in her honour as she governed over fertility, prosperity, cattle and health. She also represents Motherhood and the cycle of all things. As a testament to her fertility, there are two hills in Ireland called the Breasts of Anu. She also has strong ties with the sea, as do many of the Tuatha De Danaan.
