In this video, Jon O’Sullivan from the Irish Pagan School explores whether the Dagda, often called the “Olathair” or “Great Father,” truly fathered all the Irish gods. Exploring the stories, lineage, and misconceptions surrounding the Dagda, Jon clarifies the Dagda’s role and his relationships with deities like Brigid, Oengus, Cermait, and more.
Discover the deeper significance of the Dagda’s title, his impact on Irish mythology, and the cultural meaning of fatherhood and fosterage in ancient Ireland. Learn about how these mythological tales challenge assumptions and reveal rich layers of Irish Paganism.

Hi, John, thank your for sharing with us this very important information about Dagda and Tuatha De Dannan 's Father .
Hi John! Another excellent video! I recently found your channel in the last couple of months and love your good information and insights. Also around the time I became more aware of An Dagda's energy about me and yes he does have major big Daddy energy haha. Love that you clear up the All-Father misconception because All-Father is also incorrectly applied to Odin. He fathers many different Gods like Thor and Baldr etc… But old Norse "fǫðr" Actually means Commander/Ruler/Lord. So his title Alfǫðr is actually in reference to his role as Cheiften of the gods rather than father of the Gods.
Thanks for the good video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hestia, Demeter, and Hera were also children of Kronos.
