βEverything today has become needlessly complex, those who make it all the more complex only doing so in order to sell some new βexpertiseβ that isnβt really required for a life of value.
What, then, is required for a life of value, to be a man of worth, to become ennobled?
One thing, and one thing only:
The attainment of honor.
A man can think and do many other things with his life, but the fact remains that it is only this that need concern him when answering the question: does my life have value?
If he is in the steady and earnest pursuit of honor at all times, regardless of shortcomings that can and will occur along the way, his answer will be a resounding yes.β

The Tuatha DΓ© Danann, meaning "the folk of the goddess Danu"), also known by the earlier name Tuath DΓ© ("tribe of the gods"), are a supernatural race in Irish mythology.
The Dagda is one of the most interesting Celtic Gods. In the 11th century βLebor GabΓ‘la Γrennβ, the Dagda is described as βthe great good Godβ.
He was a member of the Tuatha DΓ© Danann and was βeighty years in the kingship of Irelandβ. The Dagda is described as a father-figure and itβs said that he can control the weather and the seasons.

Few Celtic deities spark interest like the Morrigan. First mentioned in a side note in ancient Latin manuscripts, the Morrigan is the Celtic Goddess of war and fate.
Appearing in both the the Ulster and the Mythological Cycles of Irish mythology, the Morrigan is a shape-shifter that takes the form of a monstrous woman, an eel and most notably a crow.

Eostre is seen as a dawn goddess, but this is likely the dawning of spring, the coming new year of greenery and regeneration. We can attribute the daily dawn to Dellingr. βDellingβs doorβ which appears in the HΓ‘vamΓ‘l and Hervararβs saga seems to be a kenning for the rising sun. But this shouldnβt be a surprise as Dellingr is the father of Day.
Dellingβs name has a shared root with the OE deall which meant proud or bright and is also cognate with the βdallrβ in Heimdallr. This is remembered in the English place name Dalbury Lees which was once recorded as Dellingeberie and believed to be named after Dellingr.
