Does anyone know of any in-depth research or literature on the
Tuatha de Dannan? They are a people who appear in the ancient
Gaelic oral histories describing the journey of the Gaels to
Ireland. Supposedly they were a race of sorcerers and masters
of the occult, a short, extremely fair people who were
armed only with bronze weapons and were conquered by the iron-
wielding Gaels. The best I can find about them are extremely
brief summaries that leave you with the feeling of trying to
grasp an enigma. Could anybody help? Thanks.
