#FolkloreSunday: `In Celtic mythology, especially in insular #Celtic, early medieval, ravens or corvids appear very frequently; they accompany the most diverse gods, most frequently #Morrígan, #Badb and #Lug, and mostly appear in connection with battles and wars (Botheroyd/Botheroyd 1999, 431). The two war goddesses Morrígan and Badb can take not only human but also raven form.`

here is a pin up i did of #morrigan from #dragonage #DAO #gaming #nsfw

As promised: today's issue of The Gods and Their Croziers is my second issue on the #Morrigan. Like my first Mórrígan issue it's a mess of cross-identifications, cosmic thoughts, and speculations about the wider role of the Mórrígan outside "war".

It's built around an observation, that several fairs in areas associated with the #Mórrígan, and feast days of several local saint versions of her, are held at or near #Bealtaine / #Beltane

But, it leads to interesting observations that suggest further identifications for her throughout myth and folklore: from Clídna to Aífe to Crédhe of the Yellow Hair.

As ever: this is not ”all" the Mórrígan, and it's not counter to what we already knew.

Exploring The Mórrígan's possible role as Queen of Summer, and Archetypical Lover, and exploring her subtler alter-egos

The Gods and their Croziers

I hope ye like fresh #Morrigan Lore because I'm dropping some on Tuesday. I've found connections that expand the Mórrígan's incarnations and appearances dramatically, exhibit some of her symbolic relationships to other female gods and to the seasonal cycles, and show a whole emotional side of her that never gets light in her traditionally-understood appearances.

I'm excited to share them!

This builds on previous work that exhibited the Mórrígan's Maternal and Cosmic-Ocean sides, displayed by Saint Íta:

Final Mesmeric Princess to be hypnotized for Clownmask and it's Morrigan Aensland, fittingly hypnotized by her own reflection.

Watching one of my favourite history programmes, I thought that this life of mine, with ancestral blood from Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England, born and based mainly in England, close to the land and especially the spirits of the land but not its history or politics, married to a warrior woman and producing with her three more warrior women, is a long preparation for my next life.

In my quiet time, I asked my goddess the #Morrigan if this was so.

"Yes," she said.
