  Badb article - Badb Celtic mythology ravens wolf beansidhe Fomorians Macha Anann - What-Means.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
In Celtic mythology, Badb (raven) or in modern spelling Badhbh was a goddess of war who took the form of ravens (or carrion crows), thus known as Badb Catha (battle raven).
Badb is associated with the beansidhe, and is said to have been crucial in the battle against the Fomorians.
With Macha and Anann, she was part of a trio of war goddesses.

 Morrigan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
In a yet a different version of the second redaction, Anann is again identified as Morrigan, and for her the mountains are named.
The first is usually identified with the raven and battle, the second usually identified with the archetypical Celtic horse goddess, the third with the land godesss, and the forth with a mother goddess (though linguistically perhaps with the Danube River of Europe, and thus to the archetypical Celtic river goddess, like Boann).
Badb is the goddess of war, Macha is the goddess of sovereignty, and Anann is the mother of the gods.

 Mórrígan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She is often considered a war deity comparable with the Germanic Valkyries, although her association with cattle also suggests a role connected with fertility and the land.
Her earliest apearances are in stories of the Ulster Cycle, in which she has an ambiguous relationship with the hero Cúchulainn.
The Mórrígan's name is said to be Anann, and she had three sons, Glon, Gaim and Coscar.

 GN Online: Gulf News says: The world's diplomat
And he has done this at a difficult time during the late 1990s when the United States was particularly focused on its self defined role as the global policeman of the "new global order", and the whole perception of the United Nations was challenged.
In addition, Anann managed to give the United Nations a new sense of moral commitment by emphasising the need to tackle the more "soft" issues of international concern such as poverty and need, or using the resources of world to better effect, or tackling racism.
In his initial statement after hearing of his award, Anann paid tribute to the staff of the United nations, reminding the world's public that many UN personnel have been killed in the course of their duties.

 Danu and Bile - Primordial Parents?
In the case of "Danu"/Danand, one particular element should hold our attention: her relation to a specific feature of the Irish landscape, the Dhá Chíoch Anann, two hills in Luachair in West Munster whose shape suggests the breasts of a vast supine woman whose body is the Land itself.
Danand is specifically identified as a bantuathach ("female farmer or landowner" -- one can assume that the term bantuathaid "sorceress, witch" used in Cath Maige Tuired came from a misunderstanding of the original word), which links her to the world of third-function activities, and may indicate the context of her worship in pre-Christian times.
The association of Danann with a probably much older figure named 'Anann' or 'Anna' also suggests that she may have been superimposed on a goddess with more primeval "Mother Earth" traits.

 Anu Celtic Goddess of Fertility
Anu, pronounced an-oo, (aka Anann, Dana, Dana-Ana) is the Irish Goddess of plenty and is the maiden aspect of the Morrigu.
Anu was especially popular in Munster, though her most lasting memorial is a mountain in County Kerry called the Dá Chích Anann or "Breast of Anu".
The Dane Hills in Leicestershire are also named after her and this area, perhaps a major centre for her cult, is where her memory lives on as Black Annis.

 Anu/Anann   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
However, confusion sets in, as in some redactions of the text, their mother is given as Morrigan, in others as Brigit.
Morrigan is then given as the title for a goddess named Anand (sometimes Anann), for whom the two mountains in Munster, Da Chich Anann--the Breasts of Anu--are named.
Meanwhile, according to the ninth century text of Sanas Cormaic, Anand is listed as "mother of the Irish gods." Again, in the LGE, Anand is one of the trio of sisters named Badb, Macha, and Anand.

 Danu & Bile: The Primordial Parents
And he adds: Is ón Danann ba mháthair don triar seo ghairtear Dhá Chíoch Dhanann den dá chnoc atá i Luachair Dheáidh i nDeasmhumhain ("And it is from the Danann who was the mother of these three that the two hills that are in Luachair Dheáidh in Desmond are called The Two Breasts of Danann").
His choice of spelling - Dhanann instead of Anann - has led many scholars to suppose that the second name was derived from the first.
Danand is specifically identified as a bantuathach ("female farmer or landowner" - one can assume that the term bantuathaid "sorceress, witch" used in Cath Maige Tuired came from a misunderstanding of the original word), which links her to the world of third-function activities, and may indicate the context of her worship in pre-Christian times.
