sidh

Japanese: sidh
sidh

...Dagda is the god of the earth, Ogma is the god of eloquence and poetry, and is said to have invented the oldest Celtic alphabet, Ogham, Angus Og is the god of beauty, youth, and love, Nuada is the god of war, and Morrigan is the goddess of war who roams the battlefield in search of death and blood. There are many stories about these gods. The race of giants of Danu (another name for the race of the goddess Danu) is also believed to exist today as an invisible race of nymphs who hide in the ruins of earthen mounds, circular earthen forts, stone trenches, and burial mounds, and have an underground paradise. The giants of Dána also interacted with humans and gave birth to heroes. For example, the sun god Lugh transformed himself into a fly and entered the queen's cup, where he was drunk and fell into her womb, becoming Cuchulin. Meanwhile, the descendants of the war god Nuada include heroes such as Fion, his son Oisin, and his grandson Oscar.
