Little Danu

Hi there!

My name is Danu, and this site is all about me!

I am a baby Jack Russel Terrier, born December 8th, 2007 in the United Kingdom.

What's In A Name?

My name is pronounced Dah-new. I am named Danu after the Irish/Celtic Goddess of Rivers, Water, Wells, Prosperity, Magick, and Wisdom. Danu is the oldest Celtic Goddess, known also as Don and Anu. Her influence spread far across the British Isles and Europe, where the Danube river was named for her. Few stories about Danu have survived, and yet the reverence in which she was held still remains. It is told that those who worshipped her, the Tuatha de Danaan (the children of Danu), retreated into the hollow hills of Ireland when Christianity overcame the old ways. There, they became immortal, the Sidhe or faery folk, and Danu's legend lives on as the Goddess of faery ways. Danu is the power that is in the land, never to be overcome by mortals. And Her power is in the imagination of those who see magic in the twilight mist between the worlds.
