Lugh is often referred to as "the Shining One" in Celtic mythology, a title that reflects his association with the sun, light, and brilliance in various skills and arts. This epithet underscores Lugh's role as a deity of light, both in a literal sense, as a solar figure, and metaphorically, in his embodiment of enlightenment, wisdom, and excellence. Lugh's brightness is not just physical but also symbolic of his intellectual prowess, creativity, and the vital force he represents within the pantheon of Celtic gods.
