(pron. gwiv nih u) Tuátha dé Danann god of Smiths. His ale keeps whoever tastes it from age, sickness, and death. He has a Cow of Plenty that gives milk. Balor stole the cow and the god Cian: Clear Water was sent to recover it. Druim na Teine: The Ridge of Fire is the home of the three brothers, Goibniu: Smith, Samthainn: Summer, and Cian: Clear Water. He forged weapons at the Caith Maigh Tuiredh: Second Grain Harvest (Battle) of the Plain of Frost. The Fomorian god Ruádán: Red Alder, son of Bres and Brigid was sent to spy on him and wounded him with a spear. Goibniu plucked out the spear threw it at Ruádán and killed him.
Gwyddno is a giant with limbs as thick as a man’s waist. He owns the Mwys Gwyddno: Gwyddno’s Hamper that can provide food for one hundred people. It is one of the thirteen treasures of the Isle of Britain and was demanded by the Giant Ysbaddaden in the Legend of Culwch ac Olwen. He created the Sacred Salmon Net from the spun beard of Mamos, the first Druid. Its handle is a rod of gold. His salmon-weir is near Aberystwyth, close by his castle. Each May eve he gives the right to net his weir to a friend. (102, 150, 203)

Now the Fomorians marvelled at a certain thing which was revealed to them in the battle. Their spears and their swords were blunted and broken and such of their men as were slain did not return on the morrow. But it was not so with the Tuatha De. For though their weapons were blunted and broken today, they were renewed on the morrow, because Goibnu the smith was in the forge making swords and spears and javelins. For he would make those weapons by three turns. Then Luchta the wright would make the spearshafts by three chippings. Then Credne the brazier would make the rivets by three turns and would cast the rings of the spears to them; and thus they used to cleave together. This then is what they used to put fire into the warriors who were slain. Because Diancecht and his two sons, Octriuil and Miach, and his daughter Airmed sang spells over the well named Slane [Health]. Now their mortally wounded men were cast into it as soon as they were slain. They were alive when they came out. – (Da) Cath Maigh Tured: The Second Grain Harvest (Battle) of the Plain of Frost
