I don't have any info on him at the moment, but I'm sure that if you do a search on Google (http://www.google.com) for him, you'll find plenty of stuff. Or try the Mystic Wicks Search function, at the top of the screen under the MW logo.

Welcome, TonePusher! :) Many people here are into the Celtic pantheon, so I am sure that you will meet someone who works with Dadga.

As you probably already know, Dadga is the Celtic powerful, father god of the earth. He is also associated with death, magic and art. Hhhmm, I also think of food when I think about Dadga. In myth, he has a special cauldron that is always full of food and trees that always have fruit growing on them.

I don't know of a site devoted solely to Dadga; however, there are some sites on all the celtic gods.

Hi ,thanks for replying(is that the correct spelling?).

I tried Google before I posted this thread ......no luck.
I know a bit about him but I didn't know he is associated with death i'm not to keen on that idea but I suppose death is a major key to life itself?
Any ways I will try a more advanced search on google now.

Yeah, Cherrywind offered you some really good links. If I want to know more about a specific god or goddess, I prefer to go to

www.pantheon.org

Good site! :) I just read about Dadga on that site. I think that you can tell that Dadga is associated with death after reading that he has a special club. With one end of the stick, he can kill nine men; however, the other end of the stick can bring the men back to life.
