Who is The Morrígan?

The Morrígan comes from Irish mythology and is a triple Goddess. Other names/spellings include:

- Great Queen

Origins

As mentioned in the Lebor Gabála Érenn (The Book of Invasions), The Morrígan came from a tribe of Magickal peoples called the Tuatha Dé Danann who eventually ended up feuding with the existing Firbolg, another race of Magickal peoples. She is said to be the daughter of Ernmas and the wife of Dagda. Her siblings include 6 sisters: Ériu, Banba, Fódla, Badb, Nemain and Macha. 


When appearing as the Triple Goddess, she either appears as herself or in a shape shifted form or is accompanied by 2 of her sisters (the name's differ from source to source) becoming The 3 Morrígna

It seems to fit in well with the season. We have discussed this subject briefly in some other posts, such as Vivianite  (just use the search function and input ancestors or spirit work, and you will find the posts to read whichever ones shout at you, as there are too many mentions to put them in here). We discussed communication with spirits in a previous post but this is a lot more specific as it deals with our own flesh and blood. I do have a qualification in Ancestral Healing, so this is a precursor to any more in-depth posts that we may do in the future if you want them. The pic above is one I took recently when I felt the call to tend to the graves of my nan, and her mum, whose headstone is pictured above. As with a lot of practices, you can be as elaborate or as basic as you need.       ...
