The Guises of the Morrigan

Irish Goddess of Sex and Battle - Her Myths, Powers and Mysteries

Slutsåld

The Morrmgan is probably the most powerful figure amongst the Celtic gods. The popular image of the Morrmgan is as the goddess of battle and sex, a perception that only scratches the surface of this complex and manifold goddess. From bestower of sovereignty to earth goddess, from mistress of the animals to faery queen, the Morrmgan stands out as the pre-eminent Celtic goddess, and it is our hope that this book will restore a clearer perception of her awesome scope to all those people interested in the Celtic world.
