The Tuath(a) Dé Danann or the folk of the goddess Danu, commonly known as the Tuath Dé (tribe of the gods) are a mythical race from Irish mythology. Many of them are supposed to be representations of ancient Irish Gaelic gods. The Tuath Dé are frequently portrayed as powerful monarchs, queens, druids, bards, warriors, heroes, healers, and artisans. Though they live in the Otherworld, they communicate with people and the human environment. They are linked to the Sídhe and include well-known archaic burial mounds like Brú na Bóinne, which serve as portals to the Otherworld. The Tuath Dé defeated the Fomorians (Fomoire), who the Tuath Dé view as the destructive forces of nature, in the Battle of Mag Tuired. According to legend, the Tuatha Dé Danann are an idealised race of supernatural beings that possess magical abilities and are resistant to ageing and disease. Many authors have also admitted that they were once gods, at least in part. Control over the weather and the elements, as well as the capacity to shapeshift both oneself and other objects, are the powers most frequently attributed to the Tuath Dé. They are also thought to be in charge of the fertility of the soil. They reside in the Otherworld, which is said to as either a heavenly country or a parallel world that lies beneath the sea or beyond the surface of the earth. The Sídh mounds, which are ancient burial mounds and passage tombs that serve as portals to Otherworld domains, are among the many of them that are connected to certain locations in the landscape.
