Her name translates as ’Phantom Queen,’ which is entirely appropriate for Her. The Morrígan appears as both a single goddess and a trio of goddesses, which includes the Badb ’Vulture’ and Nemain ’Frenzy’. The Morrígan frequently appears in the ornithological guise of a hooded crow. She is one of the Tuatha De Danann (People of the Goddess Danu) and She helped defeat the Firbolgs at the First Battle of Magh Tuireadh and the Fomori at the Second Battle of Mag Tured. By some accounts, she is the consort of the Dagda, while the Badb and Nemain are sometimes listed as consorts of Néit, an obscure war god who is possibly Nuada the Sky Father in His warrior aspect. It is interesting to note that another battle goddess, Macha, is also associated with Nuada. (Similarities between the Morrígan and Valkyries): The Morrígan’s role in the Irish cosmology is quite similar to the role played by the Valkyries in Norse cosmology. Both use magic to cast fetters on warriors and choose who will die. During the Second Battle, the Morrígan “said she would go and destroy Indech son of Dé Domnann and ’deprive him of the blood of his heart and the kidneys of his valor’, and she gave two handfuls of that blood to the hosts. When Indech later appeared in the battle, he was already doomed.“ (Rees 36) Compare this to the Washer at the Ford, another guise of the Morrígan. The Washer is usually to be found washing the clothes of men about to die in battle. In effect, She is choosing who will die. An early German spell found in Merseburg mentions the Indisi, who decided the fortunes of war and the fates of warriors. The Scandinavian Song of the Spear, quoted in Njals Saga, gives a detailed description of Valkyries as women weaving on a grisly loom, with severed heads for weights, arrows for shuttles, and entrails for the warp. As they worked, they exulted at the loss of life that would take place. “All is sinister now to see, a cloud of blood moves over the sky, the air is red with the blood of men, and the battle women chant their song.“ (Davidson 94) An Old English poem, Exodus, refers to ravens as choosers of the slain. There are links between ravens, choosing of the slain, casting fetters, and female beings in many sources. “As the Norse and English sources show them to us, the walkurjas are figures of awe and even terror, who delight in the deaths of men. As battlefield scavengers, they are very close to the ravens, who are described as waelceasega, ’picking over the dead’...“ (Our Troth) “The function of the goddess [the Morrígan] here, it may be noted, is not to attack the hero [Cúchulainn] with weapons but to render him helpless at a crucial point in the battle, like the valkyries who cast ’fetters’ upon both in Irish and Scandinavian literature we have a conception of female beings associated with battle, both fierce and erotic.“ (Davidson 97, 100) Patreon : **if your curious to learn more about Starseeds & Reiki go check out these recommended channels & tell them Mimir’s Well sent you !** Metawave : Silver Hare: Lune Innate: Whispers Of The Wolf : Starseed Energetics : Elizabeth April : Simply Velca : tarotladyinachurch : #MimirsWell #MimirsWellPodcast #TheMorrigan #Morrigan #CelticGoddess #Relax #Ocean #Njord #Aegir #Ran #Poseidon #NorseOceanGods #OceanSounds #OceanSoundsForSleeping #sleep #oceansoundforsleep #Shamanic #RitualMusic #Hanuman #SumerianGods #Annunaki #MesopotamianGods #Hinduism #Buddhism #MahaKali #OmKleem #Kali #EgyptianGods #EgyptianMeditation #AstralProjection #Meditation #Paganism #Starseeds #PastLifeRegression #Reincarnation #AncientEgypt #BinauralMeditation #Gaia #Gaiatv #GaiaNetwork #PastLife #Aliens #CE5 #NorsePaganism #Norse #NorseMythology #StarseedActivation #SiriusStarseed #OrionStarseeds #PleadianStarseed #ArcturianStarseed #Chakras #SpiritualAwakeningseeds #PleadianStarseed #ArcturianStarseed #Chakras #SpiritualAwakening
