According to one story The Goddess Dana her name meaning divine waters from heaven at the time of primal chaos poured water down upon the Earth, and from The Earth grew Bile The Sacred Oak Tree, and from there dropped two giant acorns to the ground. From the first acorn hatched The Dagda who's name means The Good God, and from the second acorn hatched Brigid who's name means The Exalted One, and The Dagda and Brigid whos task it was to wrest order from the primal chaos and to people The Earth together became parents.
Dana is The Mother Goddess and Brigid is The Goddess of Healing Smithcraft and fertility.
I would recomend reading The Mammoth Book of Celtic Myths and Legends by Peter Berresford Ellis as he is extreamly knowledgable on celtic mythology.
