The Celts regarded them as Gods from the Green Land, the Island of the Four Masters, the legendary Thule. Ancient masters of Ireland, the Tuatha Dé Danaan were the People of the Great Goddess. Formerly, in Ireland and Wales, the most important ceremony was a ritual march called the Challenge of the Elves. The Celtic lords took this title since – as they said – they came from the Elves. Who are the Elves? Are they humanlike? Are they mythical beings, out of romantic imagination of some writers? Are they different but real? Who knows? Celtic myths are a sacred part of history. According to them, the Elves, called Tuatha De Danaan, are the giants who once ruled over Ireland. Half historical and half legendary, the Tuatha erected the large stones. They had genius’ power, gods’ wisdom and giants’ strength, these worthy descendants of the Elohim, ie gods. They represent our divine sonship; on the other hand, no one can say wether they belong to another species than ours. They could have been men of great power, men of highest knowledge, but men anyway. Or did they belong to another species from another star system? For Celtic mythology of Ireland, “the Tuatha De Danaan (People of the Goddess Dana) are gods from four northern islands, Falias, Gorias, Findias and Murias. From there, they bring five talismans: the lance of Lugh, the sword of Nuada, the cauldron and the club of Dagda and the Stone of Fal.” The Stone of Fal called “stone of destiny” is long and narrow. About a man’s height, the stone had to be touched by the pretenders to the throne, and she roared to designate the future king. They kept it at Temuir. Another stone alike was playing the same role in Scotland. It was stolen by Edward 1st of England, who brought it to London. “When people come to Dana Ireland, the island is occupied by the Fir Bolg who will be defeated at the Battle of Mag Tuireadh or Tuired.” “The Tuatha Dé Danaan -among whom Lugh and his son Cuchulainn are the most famous- are the mythical ancestors of the Celts in Ireland, but not only that. They left their mark throughout the Celtic world. Presented as gods and goddesses, heroes and witches, they mastered Knowledge, Science and Research under the protection of the Three Primordial Druids: Eoloas, Fiss and Fochmarc.” “Using magical means, the Tuatha enjoyed immortality. But facing the Celt invaders, they got to back into the Sidhe.The gods faded out before men, the Tuatha leave the place to the Gaels.” The Tuatha backed into the Sidhe, the legend said. It forgot to tell where the Sidhe is, this inaccessible land but for Tuatha. Sidhe is a place, said the celtic legends. Is it a real place or a virtual one, as pointed by Castaneda who called it “inner place” or “conscience place”.
