Day 19:What quality or qualities of this god do you most admire? What quality or qualities of them do you find the most troubling?
The qualities of Nuada that I admire the most is his honor and sense of duty and justice. He is a noble and wise king. As the High King of the Tuatha De Dannen, he gave up his seat when he was no longer suited for that role. That leads to the quality that I do have some trouble with in that he had to be physically perfect.
Day 20: Art that reminds you of this deity
There are some pictures that make me think of Nuada.
This particular picture shows not just his silver hand, but, also his legendary sword. It also shows a warrior's determination. As nuada is the High King of Ireland, and he fought in battles, this shows the warrior side of him more.
This is from a larger work, showing the arrival of Saint Patrick to the king at Tara. However, this makes me think of Nuada, particularly as the High King. This shows not just Nuada himself, but the others of the court. It shows the Bard, the Druid, other warriors, and even the dogs; I connect dogs as an animal that is connected to him. This picture shows him as the king in action.
