The Morrigan: Celtic Goddess of Magick and Might

By Courtney Weber

Book Overview

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," the Morrigan is famous for being a goddess of war, witchcraft and death, protection and retribution. This book also explores 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 that encompasses practical veneration with modern devotionals, entwined with traditional lore and Irish-Celtic history.

A great find for my library...

Being a Solitary practitioner, I wanted a bit more information on some of the goddesses that many covens pray to. I started my first with Morrigan by Courtney Weber and LOVE her book. She broke it down in a way that I can understand. Gave a bit of history, shared some insight from others on their own personal experiences, and wrote it in a way, that did not go over my head. I actually booked marked some chapters to reflect on later. Being in a rural area, I do not have anyone near me to toss ideas with and so found this book VERY helpful. If you wish to learn more about Morrigan, do purchase this book as I found it a great addition to add to my library
