The insistence on taking the light associations away is an overreaction by modern scholars to Victorians tendency to turn every god into a sun god. But nevertheless, even before that, Lugh was always tied with solar imagery. Both in writings and oral lore. For example, the Fomorians mistaking Lugh for the rising sun is a moment that permeates all versions of the battle of Mag Tuired.

Also spelled Nodons (reconstructed from the old Nodenti or Nodonti), he was a healing god worshipped by the ancient Celts. Although no physical depiction of him has survived, votive plaques found in a shrine at Lydney Park (Gloucester) indicate his connection with dogs, a beast associated with healing symbolism in antiquity. This deity is known in only one other location, in Cockersand Moss (Lancashire). The simularities have made him equated on most inscriptions with the Roman god Mars (as a healer rather than as a warrior) and likened to Silvanus (a hunting-god). Granted, he is more famous to a modern audience in the ''Literature/CthulhuMythos'' as one member of the Elder Gods alongside Bast and Hypnos. Given how little is know about him, this is a huge improvement.
