Lugh - he is the most famous gods amongst the Garaleyern religion
and is known as the “Shining One”. He is believed to be by some people
the sun god yet others do not think this so. He is the patron of arts and
is also known to be an expert on craftsmanship of all sorts, storytelling
and heroism.
In ancient mythology Lugh was a major divinity, a member of the
Tuatha De Danann, or "People of the Goddess Danu," who, after much fighting,
displaced two earlier divine races, the Fir Bolg and the Fomoire. The other
leading divinities of the Tuatha were the Dagda and Nuadu, who served as
their chief. Like them, Lugh was omnicompetent, and the myth that relates
how he became a member of the Tuatha underscores this. When asked by the
gatekeeper of the royal palace to identify himself, Lug replied that he
was, among other things, a warrior, a harper, a poet, a sorcerer, and a
carpenter. Hearing this list of accomplishments, Nuadu readily admitted
him into the fellowship.
Lugh's chief weapons were the spear and the sling, with which he
cast a stone into the single eye of the Fomoiran chief Balor, his grandfather,
in the second battle of Mag Tuireadh and thus insured the triumph of the
Tuatha.
