The Morrígan | Nightmare Queen or Great Mother?

The Mythology of the Morrigan. In this episode of Deity Tracker, we follow in the footsteps of An Mór-ríoghan : The 'Phantom' Queen, or 'Great' Queen of Irish Mythology and Folklore. A triple goddess, along with Badb and Macha, the goddess of crows and ravens, foreteller of death, weaver of fate, washer in the ford, yet also a fertility, land and sovereignty goddess. Lets explore the tangled knot-work of the dark goddess by looking at the Mythological and Ulster cycles of Irish Mythology and the stories therein, and then have a look at some comparative Mythology, history and archaeology.
