Historians say she has the most ancient roots of any Celtic deity, esteemed by the pre-Gaelic alchemists in Ireland. When the Gaelic's overtook Ireland, legend says that They became leprechauns who today inhabit Ireland. Dana’s spirit emanates wisdom and intelligence. Dana helps you connect to the Elemental kingdom, especially the leprechauns.
She is also referenced in Hindu mythology. Her name means “swift flowing” in Irish and rivers are named after her. She is mainly seen as a river goddess, and often as Mother Earth. She represents the divine feminine and also fertility.
This multi-faceted aspect of the Divine Feminine is experienced as the air we breathe, as the river that nourishes all of life, as the bounty and abundance of earth and as the cosmic energy of universal wisdom.
A Triple Goddess, which means she is able to take the form of the Maiden, the Mother or the Crone, and a Divine Lady who is the essence of the earth, the air and the essence of water, Danu was also able to transform herself into any creature, much like the gods of Greek and Roman mythology. Danu is able to embody the form/energy suited to the situation. Here she brings the power of versatility and teaches us to honor and respect diversity within ourselves and within others and reminds us to honor each stage of our physical life. Some of Danu’s symbols include holy stones, horses – particularly mares, seagulls, fish, amber, gold, royalty/empress, rivers, sea, flowing water, air, wind, earth, moon, keys and crowns.
