Danu's Garden Pictures, Images and Photos

This group is dedicated To the discussion Of the celtic goddess Danu .Come share rituals spells gardening tips recipes Have fun .Many people believe that Danu’s original name was Anu, and that she is the primary Earth Goddess; she embodies the earth, fertility, fruitfulness and well-being, and she represents all of our cycles: life, death, and rebirth, which is beautifully reflected in the cycles of the earth. (1) Danu is also closely associated with rivers and streams, and her name means “Waters of Heaven” in Sanskrit. According to Celtic Myth and Magick, by Edain McCoy, Danu/Dana was the first great mother Goddess of Ireland, and she was later renamed or absorbed by the goddess Brigid. Many pagans (especially Celtic pagans) believe she was the first mother; the goddess who birthed all of creation into being. Danu is closely associated with the Greek goddess Demeter, and the Welsh goddess, Modron

River stones are well known stones to associate with Danu; however, while working with Mother Danu, I have found that the following stones resonate well with her: moss agate, moonstone, emerald, and amber. Her fairies (respectfully called “Good People” or “People of Peace”) love quartz crystals with rainbows in them and quartz clusters. We can honor Danu by working with the Fae and with elementals. One of my favorite ways to do this is to create a space in front of a window for the fairies. You can provide them with crystals, shiny objects that hang from your window, butterfly or dragonfly art, colorful stones, and objects of nature, such as moss, pine cones, etc. Place these items as if you were creating an altar for playful souls.

"The Calling of Danu" I am the Great Mother. Mother of Earth. Mother of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
Mother of you.

Stop molding the earth to suit you.
Mold yourself to suit the earth.
Sink your toes into Me and feel My pulse.

Comment by samantha van rijn trenerry on August 26, 2010 at 10:40pm: May your body be blessed.
May you realize that your body is a faithful and beautiful friend of your soul.
May you recognize that your sense's are sacred thresholds.
May you realize that holiness is mindful gazing, mindful feeling, mindful listening and mindful touching.
May your senses always enable you to celebrate the universe and the mystery and possibilities in your presence here.
May Eros bless you.
May your senses gather and bring you home.

Blessings all.
