The Morrígan is probably one of the most magical, formidable and mysterious figures among the Irish gods. ...it is our hope that this book will awaken a renewed interest in the Morrígan - Rankine & d\'Este, 2005.
Her legends, history and presence in the landscape and folklore of Ireland (and further afield) continue to inspire strength and admiration today.
The Guises of the Morrígan presents a collection gathered from folklore, mythology and literature about the attributes of this formidable, resilient and timeless goddess.
As a liminal goddess, the Morrígan connects not only the different realms of earth, sky, sea and otherworld but also many of the legends of the British Isles through her numerous forms.
The strength and control the Morrígan displays, as well as her ferocity and tenacity, and her ability to control events to ensure the desired result are all displayed repeatedly in the myths.
More than any other Celtic deity the Morrígan embodies the resurgence of the divine feminine, appearing in a wide variety of Guises to express the full spectrum of feminine power.
She is the earth goddess, the lady of the beasts and the faerie queen; she is the shapeshifter, an enchantress and the Goddess of war.
The prevalent image of the Morrígan as a powerful Goddess of Battle and sovereignty only scratches the surface of this complex and popular goddess.
She embodies female power and frequently employs her sexuality in the stories told of her.
