Dagda

Dagda is a Deity of the Tuatha Dé Danann, felt as a vast, hearth-sized presence more than a distant sky-god. Smell: peat smoke, damp oak, and warm barley husks—the scent of a long-burning hearth after rain. Sound: a single, low harp note and the dull, grounding thud of a heavy club, like a drumbeat felt in the ribs. Temperature: noticeably warm, a slow, steady heat that makes frost retreat and embers glow longer than they should. Field-naturalist notes: his presence calms livestock and thickens the air with the promise of abundance; approach with awe, as if entering the center of a living village.
