Dian Cecht - in the mythology of the Irish Celts, the god of healing. The first element of the name means "Fast walking", the second, most likely - "power", "power".
Dian Cecht is often depicted with a huge leech or snake in his hands. He created a magical well that could revive anyone who was thrown into it, so the Fomorians filled it with stones. Dian Ceht healed any wounded Danu tribe, unless his head was cut off, his brain was not damaged and his spine was not broken.
Two of the six children of Dian Kekht, son Midah and daughter Eirmid, also became healers. Midach excelled his father in surgery, and his daughter Airmid was an excellent herbalist.
In addition to them, he had another daughter, Etain, who married Oghma, and three sons, whose names were Kian, Kete and Ku. The grandson of Diana Kekht, the god Lug was one of the most significant gods.
