All-Giving Sun, Father of Brig
Good God
Shapeshifter
Glowing Head
Beautiful Fire
Ruddy One of Much Wisdom
Father of All
such is the vast Dagda Brig
the one who gave you life
perfector of divine science
possessor of triads
the god of druidry
to the gods
the sun itself in heaven
able and magnanimous
he cleared twelve plains in a
single night
cut the path of twelve rivers
governs weather crops for the Tuatha Dé
by night he dwells with the dead
by day the living
binds together winter and summer
dark and light
builder warrior
provider and protector
he dwells in the sublimest sidhe
at Brugh na Bóinne
the Hostel of the Mound
voracious and potent
there he lay with the Morrigan
ah
he lay with many goddesses
you have half-sisters half-brothers
throughout the land
his cauldron a huge and mighty
treasure
his dreadful iron club
one end rough and one end gentle
nine men it kills in an instant
nine men in an instant revives
your father The Dagda
who birthed in you the mighty sun
of inspiration
bequeathed you the cauldron
generous
ignited in you poet and healer
both
