Description
Danu goddess mug, a 13oz white ceramic mug printed with original Mystic Grove artwork. One side carries Danu with her title, Mother of the waters. Turn the mug and her name sits in spaced capitals under a small crescent moon and two leaf sprigs.
The artwork is painted in soft, natural colours on plain white, so it reads like an illustration rather than a slogan. It is as at home on a kitchen shelf as it is on an altar.
Who Danu is
Danu is remembered as the mother of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the old gods of Ireland, whose name means the people of Danu. Little of her own story survives, but she is honoured as the deep mother of the waters, the land and wisdom, and her name is often linked with rivers across Europe.
Her symbols on the Danu goddess mug
- Salmon. The fish of wisdom in Irish lore, swimming in her sacred waters.
- Water lilies. Beauty rising from still, deep water.
- Reeds. The river’s edge, where the land and the water meet.
A Danu goddess mug for your practice
A mug is one of the simplest ways to keep a goddess close. The first brew of the day becomes a small pause, and some people keep a goddess mug just for moon tea or for a cup poured as an offering.
In modern practice she is often paired with moonstone and aquamarine, the stones of water and flow. She suits anyone drawn to rivers, the sea and the old gods of Ireland.
Correspondences are traditional and offered as part of a practice, not as a substitute for medical or professional advice.
