Description
The Morrigan is a complicated goddess. When considered as a single entity, she is the "phantom queen", a mysterious figure with foreknowledge of doom and death in battle. She was said to fly high above skirmishes in the form of a crow, circling endlessly as men fought and died below. There are even a few (very few, she's picky) accounts of her actually joining the battle for one side over the other. There is also evidence that a very long time ago she was deeply tied to the land- evidently, cattle are involved. She was the guardian of Ireland itself, representative of its fertility and sovereignty- an earth goddess ready to punish any who defiled her island. Take that, Rome.
