Morrigan                               
 
 
 


 

The Morrigu (or Morrigan) represents the Crone aspect of the Goddess.
She was a Celtic War Goddess who delighted in setting men at war.
She fought in battles herself, and at times hovered like a crow over
the warring men. She was represented as fully armed, carrying
two spears in her hand, and wherever there was war, she was there.
Her battle cry is said to be louder than that of a thousand men.
She had a sort of Love-Hate relationship with Cuchulain, who refused her.
Afterwards she fought with him and attacked him in three different forms.
Cuchulain wounded her, and later she came back to him in the guise of
an old woman to have him heal her wounds, for only he could do so.
After that she became his friend and helped him.
