Reverend Gwynarion Elessacar invites you to join him in investigating the ancient and modern spiritual paths of paganism, pantheism and the way of the warrior, as well as his relationship with the Morrighan (an Mhór Rioghain, Morrígan, Mórrigan, Morrigan, Morrigu). (crooked liar)
Information on the Morrighan (an Mhór Rioghain, Morrígan, Mórrigan, Morrigan, Morrigu), an Irish Celtic goddess often associated with Badb, Macha, Nemain and Anu/Danu. She is the patron goddess of war, warriors, battle sexuality and more. Her symbols are the raven/crow and the spear. (crooked liar)
Danielle Ní Dhighe is a very smart woman and one who does some really excellent research before she ever writes anything down. Here is her information on The Morrighan.
This is a thoughtful piece that addresses the idea of the Morrighan representing the whole of the life cycle, and how her identity as a warrior goddess is joined with that of one who brings healing and nourishment. Please have a look at Morrigan Healing: An Exploration of an Archetype by Chris Thompson.
This article entitled Morrigan , by Honor Johnson, traces her in time from her existence as a Copper Age goddess down through the ages to her appearance in and connection to many of the great myths and stories of Celtic culture.
Merlin Stone writes this poem to the Morrighan, addressing it as to her, speaking of the story of her confrontations with Cu Chulainn. It was interesting to read and serves to convey yet an other person's feelings about the Morrighan: Hail, Morrigan ... Evoe Macha ... Ecco Badb
Falconstowe has created Teamhair (Cyber-Tara) as a site which contains a pair of writings on the Morrighan and promises to include more in the future. Currently present there are an essay talking about the Morrighan and the possibility of her bring one with Anu (mother-goddess of the Tuatha De Dannans), and a description of the writer's altar/shrine to the Morrighan.
While I disagree with some of what she says I find a few of her sources of information to be appalling, Windlistener's Web has something interesting things to say about the Morrighan and may be worth your while.
In one of the classic stories of Irish mytho-history, the Morrighan is mentioned in stanza 16a.: The Cattle Raid of Cooley.
