Ancient masters of Ireland, the Tuatha De Danaan were the People of the Great Goddess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Formerly, in Ireland and Wales, the most important ceremony was a ritual march called the Challenge of the Elves. The Celtic lords took this title since &#8211; as they said &#8211; <a class=\"link\" title=\"See the article on Neanderthals, Orcs and Elves\" href=\"\/en\/cro-magnon-hibon-tolkien-orks-rakshasas-sasquatch-yeti-agogwe-neanderthal.html\">they came from the Elves<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Who are the Elves? Are they humanlike? Are they mythical beings, out of romantic imagination of some writers? Are they different but real? Who knows? Celtic myths are a sacred part of history. According to them, the Elves, called Tuatha De Danaan, are the giants who once ruled over Ireland.\u00a0Half historical and half legendary, the Tuatha De Danaan erected\u00a0<a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/megaliths-prospermerimee-tombs-naive-hypothesis.html\">the large stones<\/a>.

Or did they belong to another species from <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/modern-mythology-atlantis-in-the-stars-ufo-back-to-pleiades.html\">another star system<\/a>? For Celtic mythology of Ireland, <em>&#8220;the Tuatha De Danaan (People of the Goddess Dana) are gods from four northern islands, Falias, Gorias, Findias and Murias. From there, they bring <a class=\"link\" title=\"technological weapons, probably\" href=\"\/en\/antique-technology-vajra-ankh-tau-xiuhcoatl-ray-pistol-zeus-thunderbolt.html\">five talismans<\/a>: the lance of Lugh, the sword of Nuada, the cauldron<\/em><em> and the club<\/em><em> of Dagda and the Stone of Fal.&#8221;<\/em> <a href=\"#\">(source)<\/a><span class=\"note\">Wikipedia<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The Stone of Fal called <em>&#8220;stone of destiny&#8221;<\/em> is long and narrow.

It forgot to tell where the Sidhe is, this inaccessible land but for Tuatha De Danaan. Sidhe is a place, said the celtic legends. Is it a real place or a virtual one, as pointed by <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/initiation-sorcery-yaqui-nagual-jung-synchronicity-tarahumara-carlos-castaneda.html\">Castaneda<\/a> who called it &#8220;inner place&#8221; or <em>&#8220;conscience place&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">First, the Sidhe means mounds, gates of the <a class=\"link\" title=\"The Sumerians call it the Abzu\" href=\"\/en\/himalayan-mythology-hollow-earth-sumer-annunaki-abzu-underworld.html\">underworld<\/a> forever inhabited by Tuatha of the Goddess Dana. It is said that the night of Samhain, the Sidhe are opening to allow everyone to communicate with the spirits of the great ancestors. But the Sidhe is more. Sometimes the Sidhe evokes a western paradise beyond the water, an bountiful and beautiful Edenic land with fine weather throughout the year, where the sun shines every day, where flowers and fruit are ever growing. Didn&#8217;it look like the lost paradise of Atlantis, did it?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Sometimes the Sidhe refers to a different level, where everything is perfect, calm and voluptuous. And sometimes, the Sidhe is peace. And sometimes, the Sidhe names the crystal caverns inhabited by the Tuatha, where <a class=\"link\" title=\"it was formerly called Vril\" href=\"\/en\/atlantis-technology-electricity-megaliths-geobiology-gravity-geoenergy-vril-energy.html\">artificial light<\/a> gives them eternal life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">It also said that the Sidhe is under hills or mounds where the Tuatha De Danaan live. We recognize the habitat of Hobbits invented by Tolkien. It is finally said that the Sidhe is in the singing caverns, in the bottom of the deep blue sea.\u00a0It is true that Russian divers have <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/ufology-roswell-bermuda-islands-nasa-siberia-divers-baikal-lake-sarez-mithril-extraneans.html\">met giants<\/a> at the bottom of Siberian lakes&#8230; The Tuatha\u00a0De Danaan are they among us? This mysterious people left, like the gods. But they left us their inspiration:\u00a0<em>&#8220;Divine and far, she remains in the woods, dressed in purple with gold, armed with a coat of mail.

In French, we have the homophonic equation mater = ma terre, and in English we got mater = matter. They both tune in our unconscious.\u00a0In Celtic land, the worship of Mother Earth has not disappeared with the divine Tuatha De Danaan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The Gauls had continued to worship her under the name of <em>Belisama<\/em>, the Great Goddess. And the Britons still worship as <em>Sainte Anne<\/em>. The Mother Goddess is still here, her name only has changed. A light change in French: Danaan became Dame Anne. The homophony is puzzling. Dana also survived in the form of the Virgin Mary. The <a href=\"#\">Marian cult<\/a><span class=\"note\">very present in Catholicism, it is a religion of Notre Dame&#8230; or of Dana-an?<\/span>, could be reminiscent of Mother Goddess.
