Tuatha De Danann: Mythical Race Of God-Like Beings With Supernatural Abilities In Celtic Mythology
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - Thousands of years ago, a god-like race of Tuatha De Danann ("children of Dana") came to Ireland. They brought four magical treasures, widely mentioned in early Irish literature.
The treasures -Lia Fail, Lugh's Invincible Spear, Nuada's Shining Sword, and the Cauldron of the Dagda-highlight their legendary importance and cultural value.
The Tuatha De Danann are said to have come to Ireland from northern Europe, where they had spent many years learning the arts and magic. They were large, strong, and beautiful beings that mingled with mortals and remained superior to them.
People believed they were a race of gods or demigods with supernatural powers, human traits and personalities, and a large variety of skills in art, crafts, music, language, love, and war. There were also Druids among them.
