Danu / 达努
Danu / 达努 appears in 142. 凯尔特神话故事(第一弹):德鲁伊会梦见变形羊吗? as the sacred water or mother-like divine source in the episode’s opening account of Celtic Mythology. The host tells a creation sequence in which Danu descends as heavenly water, nourishes the earth, joins with the sacred oak Bile, and gives rise to later divine descendants.
In the wiki, Danu matters mainly as the name behind [[TuathaDeDanann|Tuatha De Danann / 达努神族]]. The source uses her less as a fully biographical deity than as a generative origin image: water, oak, fertility, divine ancestry, and the route from creation story into Irish settlement myth.
