You are a Tuatha de Danann!
In Irish-Celtic mythology, the Tuatha De Danann
("People of the goddess Danu") are
the Irish race of gods, founded by the goddess
Danu. These gods, who originally lived on 'the
islands in the west', had perfected the use of
magic. The traveled on a big cloud to the land
that later would be called Ireland and settled
there.
Shortly after their arrival they defeated the
Firbolg at the first battle of Mag Tuireadh. In
the second battle of Mag Tuireadh they fought
and conquered the Fomorians, a race of giants
who were the primordial inhabitants of Ireland.
The Tuatha De dealt more subtly with the
Fomorians than with the Firbolg, and gave them
the province of Connacht. There was also some
marrying between the two races.
The Tuatha De themselves were later driven to the
underworld by the Milesians, the people of the
fabulous spanish king Milesius. There they
still live as invisible beings and are known as
the Aes sidhe. In a just battle, they will
fight beside mortals. When they fight, they go
armed with lances of blue flame and shields of
pure white.
Important members are of the Tuatha De are: Dagda,
Brigid, Nuada, Lugh, Dian Cecht, Ogma, and Lir.
The goddess Danu can also be identified with
the Welsh goddess Don.

My thoughts, thrown into the Internet. Some are half-formed, some are rants, all are expressions seeking release. Calling this my "mental toilet" wouldn't be the least bit inaccurate.
