Meet Fiona Healy

Anú
Anu was referred to as the Earth Goddess from whom all life emerged and the mother of Irish gods.
In ancient times, the Celts depicted Anú as a beautiful woman. She represented the earth and all its fruitfulness and was seen to embody the earth, rivers, and sea. She offered fertility, abundance, regeneration and nurturing.
Anú (like most women) had dual characteristics, one being the beneficent, nurturing mother goddess, and another being the strong, malevolent side of the warrior goddess.
