📖 Ancient Restoration Donn, 'the dark one', was the ancestor deity of the pre-Christian Gaels - On Samhain he summons the dead to his fortress at Bull Rock.
On Samhain Eve in the Irish Annals: "High King Tigernmas and three quarters of his army died while worshiping Crom Cruach", a wizened god, hidden by mists. Crom's worship ceased when St Patrick destroyed his stone idol with a blow from his staff.
