The Dagda

The staff/club is also described in the Ulster Cycle narrative, Mesca Ulad, where it was called the "terrible iron staff" (lorg aduathmar iarnaidi). CauldronThe Cauldron of the Dagda is one of the Four Treasures of the Tuatha Dé Danann, of which it was said "an assembly used not to go unsatisfied from it". The cauldron "signified plenty and generousity". Hence, his magic cauldron was otherwise known as the coire ansic ("the un-dry cauldron"). Dagda's harpAfter Úaithne, the Dagda's harper was abducted by the Fomorians, the Dagda went to the enemy's hall and retrieved his magic harp, which had two names, according to the text of the Cath Maige Tuired ("Second Battle of Moytura"). And when the Dagda called upon his harp by its two names: "Come Daur Dá Bláo / Come Cóir Cetharchair / Come summer, come winter.." the harp leapt off the wall and came to him. The harp was forbidden by the Dagda from issuing any sound, unless thus called upon by the names, which translate to "Oak of Two Meadows" and "the Four Angled Music"; The Dagda had the skill to play the "Three Strains" (joy, sorrow, sleep) which he used to immobilize the Fomorians and escape.
