Anu

Back to shelf
Living grimoire portrait of Anu in simple early Irish clothing with the paired Kerry hills faintly visible behind her.

Ana, conventionally rendered Anu, is named in an early Irish glossary as a mother of the Irish gods and is connected with the two Kerry hills called the Paps of Ana; proposed identities with Danu, Donand, or Anand remain unresolved.
