Description

An illuminating exploration of Ireland's ancient dark goddess—the beloved "phantom queen" of the Celtic world—with practices for modern-day devotees.

The Morrigan is one of Pagan Ireland's most famous—and notorious—goddesses. Her name, translated as "phantom queen" or "great queen," marks her fame as a goddess of war, witchcraft, and death, as well as protection and retribution. This book also delves into her patronage of motherhood, healing, shapeshifting, and the land. Classified among the Sidhe (fairies), the Morrigan dates back at least to Ireland's Iron Age, but she is as modern as she is ancient, enjoying a growing contemporary and global following.

Author Courtney Weber provides a guide for the modern devotee of this complex, mysterious goddess. The book encompasses practical veneration with modern devotionals, entwined with traditional lore and Irish-Celtic history.
