day 15: Any mundane practices that are associated with this deity?
As nuada is the High King and helps with justice; I would imagine that just living with justice, honor, and hospitality. While it is not a major thing to act with honor, Justice and remembering to be a hospitable host; it is something that nuada would want us to do.
Day 16: How do you think this deity represents the values of their pantheon and cultural origins?
nuada is the high king, and he respents the ideal king to the Irish. The high king was an actual position of gaelic Ireland, who in theory ruled over all of the Irish. While in reality they had little power, nuada is the ultimate high king. He rules the whole land with a hand of silver, a hand of honor.
day 17: How does this deity relate to other gods and other pantheons?
The most obvious deity that he is compared to is Tyr or Tiw, the germanic god of war and valor. Both gods after all did lose their hands for similar reasons. Tyr lost it to the monster Fenrir while nuada lost it to the Formorians. They both represent justice and honor. Though the obvious difference is that nuada is a king while Tyr is not.
Day 18: How does this deity stand in terms of gender and sexuality? (historical and/or UPG)
He does not seem to care about either as long as one acts with Honor, Hospitapitly, and Justice.
