It is also said that the Danaans became gods, by bridging the gap between the worlds of Ireland and "heaven" (of their sort).
The Tribe of Danu (could be equalled to the "tribes of Eru", perhaps?) held four great treasures, which were corrupted by war, so the Danaans were exiled. Something like the war Feanor's people waged, resulting in an exile! (Let me know if I'm getting this wrong, it's entirely probable.) When the people made the choice of peace over war, they were redeemed and allowed to join their goddess Danu to become the gods of the new people, the Gaels. Galadriel, though tempted, makes the choice to refuse the Ring of Power-> and her people return to the West, their "heaven".

I'm a bit tired, so much may be a little off.
