Her symbol
If you’re not familiar with the warrior queen, she was one of three war Goddesses that featured in Irish mythology. The other two Goddesses were Macha and Neman.
Although the name by which she is called tends to change depending on who is telling the story, she often referred to by several different names:
- The Morrigan Goddess
- The Celtic Goddess of Death
- Morrígu
- The Celtic Goddess Morrigan
- Great Queen Goddess Morrigan
- The Morrighan
- The Morrigan Celtic Goddess
- The Great Queen
- The Queen of the Triple Goddesses
Goddess of: Battle, prophecy, fertility, and sovereignty
Not necesarry your warm and affectionate sort of goddess(with me she was so patient and loving tho XD ) ,without whom the king would be powerless.
Going deeper into Morrigan (or The Morrigan as this may have at some time been a title) we find that she is also a triple goddess, who
along with ether her sisters Badb, and Macha or in some accounts Nemain the Venomous, and Fea the Hateful, play a shifting role in
scores of myths and legends.
