WAR GODDESS

Morrigan is a Celtic goddess of war and fate. She is also a shape-shifter, a prophetess, and a sovereignty goddess, who grants kingship to worthy rulers.
She is often depicted as a crow or raven, and she can fly over the battlefield and decide the fate of the warriors.
She fell in love with the hero Cú Chulainn, but he rejected her advances. She then tried to hinder him in various ways, such as transforming into different animals and attacking him. She also foretold his death by washing his bloody clothes in a river. 🙆
She also had a sexual encounter with the Dagda, the chief god, on the eve of battle, which symbolized the union of the land and the king .🤭
She was part of a prophecy that foretold the coming of Christianity to Ireland. She appeared to a druid named Amergin, and told him that she was the land of Ireland itself. She asked him to name her, and he listed all the aspects of nature that she embodied. She then accepted him and his people as the rightful rulers of Ireland. 🤔
Her name means 'nightmare' or 'terror', the oldest and most powerful deities in Celtic mythology.
She is not only a goddess of war, but also of fertility, sovereignty, and prophecy.
