Offerings to The Morrigan
Who is The Morrigan?
The Morrigain is the goddess of death and war, and made up of three sisters (Badb and Macha and Nemain) she is also the goddess of destiny and battle. The three sisters can also act independently. The Morrigan appears as a raven before great battles, waiting to carry away the carrion and bones of the dead. She is also a goddess of feminine power, shadows, wisdom and the darkness of death.

Book Review The Book of the Great Queen by Morpheus Ravenna
Over all I found this book to be an excellent source of information for people just looking into Na Morrígu or people who are familiar with some basics but want to get more details. It is not as much geared towards those who are already deeply familiar with na Morrígu or Irish mythology.
Now, my one personal critique is that I feel Morpheus takes a few liberties when it comes to facts and their opinions/theories on different subjects. That is NOT to say that they do not present a well researched argument because they absolutely do, I just think that in a few instances throughout the book their own opinions or views overshadow alternative interpretations or emphases. An example, in the discussions on prophetic practice it is framed in a way that implies (in my opinion) that the Irish only experienced prophetic inspiration via dreams/sleep trances (again this is all backed up by solid research and information) but then goes on in the very next section to discuss Fedelma while neglecting to add that Fedelma's prophecy was given while apparently wide awake and without ceremony, implying additional ways which prophetic inspiration could be achieved. These are admittedly small, personal, nitpicky critiques, but they affected me so it felt necessary to note.
That being said this book is an excellent idea for those getting starting or wanting to sink their teeth more deeply into na Morrígu and will remain one of my 'recommended reading' books

Triple Goddesses
In religious iconography or mythological art, three separate beings may represent either a triad who always appear as a group or a single deity known from literary sources as having three aspects. In the case of the Irish Brigid it can be ambiguous whether she is a single goddess or three sisters, all named Brigid. The Morrígan also appears sometimes as one being, and at other times as three…

this is my devotional blog to The Morrigan. (in my specific practice, that means both the unified deity The Morrigan as well as her individual aspects, Badb, Macha, and Nemain.)
that means this is a deeply religious space for me, which can look like a lot of things! sometimes my worship can look very casual and almost friendly in nature. sometimes my worship can look highly personal and take on elements of prayer. mostly, I’ll just be doing my devotional writings and reblogging things that make me think of Her.
that can mean I’ll be blogging/reblogging things associated with Her, like (but not limited to): corvids, Ireland, graveyards, blood stains*, hag imagery, animal + human bones, horses, war imagery, general queenliness, ghosts and banshees, storms, wolves, cows
but also, a lot of it will be UPG (unverified personal gnosis, or things that I associate with Her personally through my relationship with Her), like (but not limited to!): chainmail fashion, feminine rage, folk-goth imagery, sex and pain, woman warrior imagery, tree spirits, lightning, metal music made by women, silver, weapons of all kinds
if some of those things don’t resonate with you or your idea of Her, that’s okay! everyone’s devotion is different and everyone’s relationship with Her is unique! what we can agree on is that She is divine and worth being worshipped- which is exactly my purpose in having this blog.
hail The Morrigan, hail to the Phantom Queen 🤍
* I do not believe that The Morrigan is in support of self harm- and I am many years into self harm recovery- and thus none of the blood or wound imagery here will be related to that. at all. please do not engage with me if your blog centers that.

!NEW ARTWORK! The Badb Catha (Battle Crow) is one of three iterations of war goddess collectively known as the Morrigna. The Morrigna are mentioned throughout Irish mythology and are said to foreshadow death and influence fate and the outcome of battles. The Battle Crow in particular is associated with striking fear and confusion in soldiers engaging in battle. The Morrigna are a prominent and terrifying motif in ancient Celtic mythology. Ravens and crows are prevalent throughout many ancient mythologies and are often associated with war, death, and premonition. This common theme across cultures is most likely because of Crows’ propensity for feasting on the dead flesh of fallen soldiers. However, another interesting theory indicates that these birds are so intelligent that they learned to recognize when a battle was about to begin from the formation of troops, etc, and then gather above/near the battlefield seemingly predicting the coming fighting and death. This is what gave them their seemingly prophetic abilities.
