Anyone who has been going- Geez, Elerah, will you stop with the “My patron, my patron, my patron,” stuff and tell us already will now be satisfied. My patron is the Fomorian king, Elada, father of Bres, Oghma, the Dagdha, Elloth, and Delbaeth. The paucity of information on him as well as the tendency of everyone to parrot that very Wikipedia article is exactly why I’m writing a research paper on him… that and as a god of Knowledge (see his name: [Old Irish: elada, elatha, art, science, acquired skill, craft] ) I felt it would be a fitting offering and good use of my time.

I’ve seen some very nice postings of adorations. I originally found the idea on Melittabenu and saw that it began with Sannion. I had to give it a go.

This list includes some of my opinions on the research, some of my UPG, and some of the direct references to him found in The Lebor Gabála Érenn, The First Battle of Magh Turedh, and Gods and Fighting Men.
