In this video, Jon O'Sullivan from the Irish Pagan School explores the Dagda's role as a father figure within Irish mythology. Often misunderstood as an "All Father," the Dagda is better understood through his epithet "Olathair," meaning "Great or Ample Father." Jon dives into the various stories that showcase the Dagda's nurturing, protective, and just nature—whether through his biological children, like Brigid and Oengus, or his foster children, like Manannán Mac Lir. Learn how the Dagda’s actions as a father set a powerful example in the ancient world, and how his legacy continues to inspire modern Pagan practices.
