Goddess Epona



Goddess Epona was a protector of horses, donkeys, and mules.
She was particularly a goddess of fertility, as shown by her attributes of a patera, cornucopia, ears of grain and the presence of foals in some sculptures suggested that the goddess and her horses were leaders of the soul in the after-life ride, with parallels in Rhiannon of the Mabinogion.

Dagda God







The Dagda was the father God of the Celts they called him the Good God because he protected their crops.  He was king of the Tuatha Dé Danann and ruled over Uisnech in Co. Meath.  He had a cauldron called the Undry which supplied unlimited food and was one of the magical items the Tuatha brought with them when they first landed on Ireland.  He also had a living oak harp called Uaithne which caused the seasons to change in their order and also played three types of music, the music of sorrow, the music of joy and the music of dreaming.
