Talk:Lugh

Apollo

The connection of lux-words with Apollo (and comparable deities) is bad etymology. -λω is only a suffix here; none of the gods mentioned have a comparable etymology.Otto S. Knottnerus (talk) 18:06, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Origins of "Brionac"

I've heard a lot about Lugh's supposed spear Brionac and how it was apparently made up by a JRPG. I don't doubt this for a second, especially after the crap with Ichival and especially Mespyrian, but does anyone know which one it was? With "Ichival", I can point the misinformation about it to FE Genealogy of the Holy War. But does anyone here know which RPG made up Brionac? --Hawkatana (talk) 01:42, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Lugh is also Surya and There's Hinduism text that says his father is Dagda in Hinduism it's Kashyapa The Mythology and stories are the same.

Plus Cain is Found in The Book of Genius in The Christian Bible Cain is not Celtic in any form or Indian or anything outside of Christianity I have multiple sources That say Dagda is Lughs Father in Pre - Christian Ireland and most likely all the Lands that we're Celtic. Also In Gaul Lughus Married Epona , many believe Macha and Morrígan our sisters that would be how Morrígan is Dagdas wife in Irish mythology so if Dagdas Son Gets Married Morrígan would be Related to Macha yes by Marriage so Macha would be Morrígan's daughter in law. In Hinduism Kashyapa which is Dagda and or Sucellas in Hinduism is married to both Krodhavasa & Danu , Danu is Dagdas Wife not Daughter I have many books and information proving it.

Hinduism is not remotely "the same" as Irish mythology, and the Dagda is not a figure in Hinduism.

If Lugh is not actually a god of sun or light, what would the connection to Surya be?

Cain is not mentioned in the article at all, and seems to have no relevance to Lugh. (While there is indeed no apparent connection to Celtic myth or Hinduism, it isn't true that Cain is not found outside Christianity - Genesis is also part of the Torah in Judaism.)

is so Kashyapa his mythology matches The Celtic Deity Sucellas & Revo & Dagda etc and Lugh matches Surya I studied Hinduism and have friends who practice. I also read many Scholarly Books on The Ancient Celtic Past as well as other Ancient people's Mythologies Drecelto (talk) 21:07, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Also Know Cain is found in Judaism I wrote about it in my book so Cain he Hebrew not Celtic. Drecelto (talk) 21:08, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

preserved by Bards in fact

Cain The Orgin of

The Name is Hebrew

it is also a story told in

The Hebrew Bible

45.

The Tanakh which is Judaism,

That's from my book and I also learned many religions and studied. Also have sources from Scholars matching Celtic Mythology with Hinduism as well which I listed in my book my Researches.

I study Irish mythology Welsh mythology Iberian mythology Gaulsih Mythology, Greek Mythology Roman mythology Basque Mythology, Muisca Mythology Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism & more. Drecelto (talk) 21:15, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

I never said Lugh isn't a God of Light I believe he is. Surya is also a God of Light and Sun. Drecelto (talk) 21:25, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

I didn't say that Dagda himself is but Kashyapa a God that is pre Celtic that would be his parallel is. Also yes Surya is a sun God so is Vishnu Celts didn't believe in individual avatars like in Hinduism so all of Suryas avatars would contribute to Lugh in some way. In Gaulish Mythology Lughus was seen with Epona another connection for Surya & Saranyu. Lughus and Epona are also found in Hispanic Mythology in Hinduism though Kashyapa's son is Surya and his wife is Danu there for abroad it was the same of course without added Characters of later myths like kings and queens Irish mythology has.

Not sure how to message you wish I could Drecelto (talk) 21:43, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

I don't think Lugh is a god of anything

In celtic mythology gods aren't typical gods- The Tuatha Dé Danann are clearly depicted as a tribe of "dia" which is translated as god but may just be more of a title- Figures like Lugh and Nuada die and are depicted as coming to ireland as immigrants/settlers and being the ancestors of modern irish (and scottish via irish heritage)- Lugh's only connection to Light and Lughnasadh is that his name means "light" and may instead of Lughnasadh being named for Lugh, be named for Lughnasadh. As many gaelic names have non-literal, non-symbolic (personification) meanings. Like i think Nial translates as "cloud" and Cuinn "dog one" Nothing really links him to being a storm, sun, or other god- he seems more like a hero (and ancestor to royalty based on non-milesian read of lebor gabála érenn) and it seems the only proper "god" for the celts was the Moriggan who seems to be the only immortal impersonal one.
