The mythical Beathauile (universal Celtic Spirit) is said to represent the Crown. Dagda, father of the Celtic gods, represents the right hand of the Claddagh Ring. Danu, ancestral and universal mother of the Celts, represents the left hand. Other’s believe Claddagh history merges with tales of the sea in the town of Claddagh, which is said to be one of the oldest fishing villages in Ireland. For centuries, fishermen from the area took to sea with the Claddagh crest on their ships and sails. The crest was used for identification - fishermen from outside the area fishing in their waters were chased away or killed. So the Claddagh is also an original symbol of the "Fisher Kings" of the Galway town of Claddagh, Ireland. Another legend of Claddagh history begins with a young man from Galway by the name of Richard Joyce leaving his true love to make his fortune in the West Indies. The tale is told…..As Richard sailed toward his goal, his ship was captured by a band of pirates and he was sold as a slave to a Moorish (Muslim) goldsmith. Under the goldsmith’s direction and over many years of service, Richard perfected the art of jewelry making himself, eventually becoming a master craftsman and earning the respect and admiration of his Moor master. When King William III negotiated the freedom of the slaves in 1689, the Moor goldsmith offered Richard the hand of his daughter and a healthy dowry on top of that. But Richard refused....for his heart still lay in Ireland.
