Can we also believe in the Danu—the Tuatha de Danaan—as a “real” people? Some say impossible; others hope that they did—or do—indeed exist. And you? More things under heaven and earth, friends.
As for me, I have loved my time with all of them, braided as I have been into the fictional complexities of both worlds. I hope that this story affords you the same journey.
