Tuatha Dé Danann

In Irish mythology, warriors and magicians. Aided and led by the Dagda and Lugh, they became early rulers of Ireland, but were eventually defeated by the Milesians (Celts). The kingdom was divided, the Tuatha Dé Danann ruling the invisible otherworld below ground and the Milesians ruling the world above.

The Tuatha Dé were said to have a great knowledge of supernatural lore, and were skilled in all arts. The progeny of a mother goddess, Danu, they were regarded as possessing divine natures and some of the more famous Tuatha Dé have clear links with ancient Celtic divinities.
