Thanks Terri, for the education about Danu. I looked her up when I first started checking out your channel, but did not get all that depth. Such an interesting story; I loved hearing about this history and why you chose that for your site name. Entertaining to watch and listen in the setting of your daily life, dogs we're now familiar with, cats we take joy in watching as they grow. One of my daughters was here watching with me, up for Mother's Day weekend. So, I got to share you with her, as well.

Yes, beautiful music while the best lighting on a rose like 60 watts and all the other terrific lighting in this film. Just gets better and better with wonderful inspiration. The story of Danu is important for all to hear and well done!!!!!!!!! The Indo-European influence shows up in my DNA testing big time. Family came from the islands but always a call to India since I was about 12 years old. A perfect marriage of deeply spiritual cultures. I still wear Indian block printed head scarfs all the time instead of hair fussing. I need a mother in my life and Danu has been there since I discovered her a decade ago. Grounding to mother earth makes life whole.

Terri, thank you so much for this video. I knew Danu was the Mother Goddess since I've been a long-time follower, but I had no idea about all of the history. :-)

Oh Terri, you share so much! But, yes wouldn't it be great if we had access to all of our ancient history? You're videos are always such a joy to have waiting for me on Sunday mornings. :-)

Thank you for sharing this Terry. Danu is also close to my heart. I never knew about Bile and the connection with Baile. Makes so much sense. An "avatar" existence 🌳 💚✨️🌀☘️

I did think that Danu must be a Goddess so thank you for the info about her husband Bile.

Thank you, too, for so much beauty again.

much love

I actually followed you because I got the reference and was looking for more Irish pagan/mythology influenced writings. I enjoy how I can see that influence in your newsletter ♥️ but I could see how someone would think it is your name too.

Me too and that is why I wanted to clarify xx

"Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls."

Joseph Campbell (Author of The Power of Myth). So, Danu's garden was an apt name for your channel. Your garden is the blissful place the universe revealed to you.
