Lugh (Llew, Lleu) is a Celtic/Welsh sun deity. He is a druid, a carpenter, poet, and mason, and is known as the master of skills, talent, and arts. He symbolizes reincarnation, healing, prophecy, and revenge. He is associated with the white stag and the raven, and the lynx. His holiday is Lughnasadh, celebrated on August 1st, second, and sometimes the eve of August.  He has a spear symbolizing, in the Welsh version of one of his tales, pierces a stone to kill the hunter which had an affair with his wife. In the irish version, he himself is killed by it, after his wife finds out a way to kill Lugh and tells her lover. He’s also holding a stone sling, which Lugh used to disable Balor’s (his grandfather, Champion of the Fomorians) all-destructive eye. In other versions Lugh blinded Balor with a spear made by Goibniu, and thus we return back on the spear.
