You would think that with Lughnasadh coming (Lammas), coming in a few weeks I would want to initially post about the god Lugh, but I will get to that holiday soon enough. Instead, as usual these days, I am called by Morrigan to stay with my attention focused on her and the strength she is giving me to fight my own battles, internal and external.
Morrigan is an amazing goddess with a complicated history. She is woman, through and through. Maiden, Mother and Crone, she appears as a Crow or in one of her triple Goddess forms. She has been connected to Macha, Badh, and Danu, but is also whispered to have come even before Anu.
She has always been a battle goddess and a goddess of death, but as pagans, we must always remember that death is nothing to fear, simply a transition to a new way of being as energy cannot be destroyed. In this day and age, on many continents, we have less cattle thievery and clan war, but we are also always at war as a nation. This goddess fills me with the wish to go to those places where war is happening and put an end to it so innocent people are no longer hurt.
But she is also the goddess of the little battles and the strength that women in particular need to get through the day and fight those battles inside and outside.
Her crows are a symbol of death but also a symbol of divination that she gives and I receive happily through my tarot cards. Remember, the death card in a tarot deck is not about actual death of a person but about change and a big change, which could be internal or external.
As I am firmly entrenched in my Mother stage, the wisdom that comes with that stage is a welcome gift as well as the strength to stand as a role model for my daughters as they grow into themselves. Morrigan wants you to be the best self you can be, as she tried to get Cu Chulainn to be and will test you. She wants us to own our sexuality and enjoy it. To raise power through our sexuality and be whole. She wants us to stand firm like a stone in our battlefield and conquer ourselves as well as succeed in our battles.
Considered a dark goddess as a goddess of death, she brings change where ever her crows sweep through, so welcome her with open arms and respect and she will guide you to your best self. Not all hear her call, but when you do, be ready. Be strong. Be amazing.
Blessed Be
