Tales depict the Dagda as a figure of immense power. He is said to own a magic staff, club or mace which could kill nine men with one blow; but with the handle he could return the slain to life. It was called the ''lorg mór'' ("the great staff/club/mace") or the ''lorg anfaid'' ("the staff/club/mace of wrath"). His magic cauldron was known as the ''[[coire ansic]]'' ("the un-dry cauldron") and was said to be bottomless, from which no man left unsatisfied. It was said to have a ladle so big that two people could fit in it. [[Uaithne]], also known as "the Four Angled Music", was a richly ornamented magic [[harp]] made of [[oak]] which, when the Dagda played it, put the seasons in their correct order; other accounts tell of it being used to command the order of battle. He possessed two pigs, one of which was always growing whilst the other was always roasting, and ever-laden fruit trees. He also described as being the owner of a black-maned heifer that was given to him for his labours prior to the Second Battle of Moytura. When the heifer calls her calf, all the cattle of Ireland taken by the Fomorians as tribute graze.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Stokes |first1=Whitley |title=The Second Battle of Moytura |url=https://celt.ucc.ie/published/T300011.html |website=Corpus of Electronic Texts |publisher=University College, Cork, Ireland |access-date=13 December 2021}}</ref>
