High-Priestess

the gentle mother

Danu is also known as Danann, the Irish Dana, the Greek Dione, the Welsh Donn, and Anu. She is also called Mother of Gods, Great Mother, and Moon Goddess. Her name means teacher and wisdom. She is an ancient role model and teaches through example.

Her powerful presence can aide you in achieving anything you desire, especially motherhood, fertility, healing of children, magick, and anything creative.

Danu is not only the Faery Queen, She is also goddess of Water, and Her name appears all across Europe:
Danube River, Denmark, & the Don River.

In the beginning, it is said that She watered the first Oak tree from the heavens, and granted life to the Earth. From that tree fell two acorns, which grew to be Dagda and Brighid.

A swan is symbolic of Her, representing purity of the female, and gracefulness of motherhood. The Hawthorne is Her tree, and She is especially honored at Beltane.

Danu is strongly related to both Morrigan and Bridget. I will report back on this later... very significant card today.
