The Dagda

The Dagda was the god of the earth. He had a cauldron called Undry in which everyone found food in proportion to his merits and from which none went away unsatisfied. He also had a living harp. As he played upon it, the three seasons came in their order: Winter to spring to summer. He is represented as a venerable aspect and of simple mind and tastes, very fond of porridge and a valiant consumer of it. In an ancient tale we have a description of his dress: He wore a brown low-necked tunic which only reached down to his hips and over this a hooded cape which barely covered his shoulders. On his feet and legs were horse-hide boots, the hairy side outwards. He carried, or rather drew after him on a wheel an eight pronged war club so huge that eight men would have been needed to carry it and the wheel, as he towed the whole weapon along made a track like a territorial boundary.
