What is a Daghda?

"What is a DAGHDA?"

The multi-million dollar question asked by all newbies after having read the VB for a day or two...well read on! Here is the $0.02 answer as given by the Daghda hisself!!!

Well, the DAGHDA never saw a rhetorical question that he didn't

immediately want to answer, so he will. Answer, that is. (A

cautionary word from Jim the DAGHDA-meister: as Diane the Scholar and

Erin (The P-Celtic Goddess) Allen would be the first to tell you,

Celtic mythology and legends constitute an amazing body of literature,

comparable in complexity and scope, IMHO, to the much better known

Greek and Roman stuff. Look it up and you will find fantastic stories

that put to shame the bestselling fantasies of today, also IMHO. The

DAGHDA does not like to be that serious for very long.) AHEM! The

DAGHDA is one of the old Gods of Ireland (The Tuatha De Danann). The

DAGHDA is the "Good God" or "Father God," roughly approximating the

Zeus of the Greeks or the Jove/Jupiter of the Romans. He is married

to the MAGHMA, or Mother Goddess, who is the Irish Deity of volcanoes

and molten lava (neither of which is much seen in Ireland today). He

refuses to talk about his Evil Twin SMEGHMA, the God of disgusting

personal hygiene or his OTHER Evil Twin PLASHMA, who is all wet.

Tell DAGHDA stay in bed with MAGHMA, send email to California valley Goddess GAGHMA. Thurs October 2nd, 1997

The DAGHDA has forgotten more about the Celtic mythology and legends than Jim Quinn will ever know, which is disappointing for all of you who thirst for knowledge, however useless. However, we will do what we can. Some others of the DAGHDA's relatives who have come to light through the efforts of vigilant Vbers are his first wife NAGHMA, Goddess of scolds and termagants; her repulsive sister HAGHMA, Goddess of the appearance challenged and cosmetology school scholarships; cousin QUAGHMA, Goddess of swampland and difficult situations; cousin BRAGHMA, God of boastful braggarts (ooo, it even alliterates, as PAIGHMA has noted); nephew DRAGHMA, God(dess?) of alternate-lifestyles; and nutty, but sweet aunt ZAGHNUT, Goddess of sweets between meals and dental floss.

So ..... totally confused now? Well you can rest assured .....so are we!!!! but we love him anyway, and i personally always look forward to his daghdactics....for example ...i would now like to present...the daghda...to...

present the DAGHDActics: (1) He who dies with the most toys is, nonetheless, still dead. (2) CARPERPETUATION (kar' pur pet u a shun) n. The act, when vacuuming, of running over a string or a piece of lint at least a dozen times, reaching over and picking it up, examining it, then putting it back down to give the vacuum one more chance. (3) Another drill to remind skiers how to prepare for the ski season and to remind non-skiers why they do not ski: For ski boot simulation at home, put a pebble in your street shoes and tighten a C-clamp around your toes. and a bonus because the DAGHDA is just that kind of guy (4) From the Bart Simpson chalkboard files: I will not prescribe medication.
