Resumen del Editor

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.

Highly Recommend for new/seasoned studier, Read ALL of review there is a warning!

I very much enjoyed this book as a newly studying Celtic Pagan and witch. I very much like the narrator of this book I recommend her to other authors that are looking for a female voice that has character and does not read flat like the AI which I am not so fond of. I also recommend listening to this book with a pen and journal as you are going to want to make note of many things and almost every chapter depending of course on where you are in your study of Brigid. ****I would not recommend messing with her if you are not ready to follow through on some spells I actually had my memory triggered of something I had promised to her and have not followed through yet which makes a lot of sense as to why a certain thing has not happened even though I have been doing what I promised elsewhere. I did not pick up litter in one specific location and trust me I am going to be doing it as soon as I am near that location again! Even thoughits Way out of my way bc I moved**** I actually purchased a second book "Tending Brigid's Flame" so I can learn more of this wonderful goddess. I very much like the narrator as well. if this book has jumped out to you especially more than once I say Get it there's a reason she's calling to you....

Great Book

This book sure does explain a lot of things. It would appear to be a dang good dive into the Morrigan. Worth every minute. The narrator however speaks so calmly its easy to just relax and sometimes lose track.

My Goddess Represented Proper

most people know The Morrigan by the societal picture of nothing but war and death. this book brings clarity to those seeking to know her better and to understand the way she works. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is looking to work with her and you devote themselves to her. superb job of narration and I'm looking forward to listening to more.

what a beautiful tribute to The Great Queen

Loved it. honored to be a Morrigan Priestess, and this book is pure and powerful, thank you to Priestess Courtney Webber for writing it!!! Hail The Glorious Morrigan in all of her forms!!!

The Morrigan

I loved everything about this book and now i need to buy it. So much that I connected with in the stories, now has me needing to know more about the Morrigan and her Sisters. Happy that I could have my first audible book be this amazing.

the voice wasn't the best fit.

The book itself was great. The voice- wasn't a good choice and made it a struggle.

Good Book

I had a hard time listening with the narration. Enjoyed the story line. If I can find a hard copy I will be getting that instead.

great book to learn about the Morrigan

This book taught me a lot about ancient Celtic culture in regards to the Morrigan, a terrifying and misunderstood goddess from Ancient Ireland. the author recounts myths about the goddess and contextualizes them for modern sensibilities. she does a great job making the practice of worshipping and honoring the Morrigan accessible for modern devotees

Excellent information

I originally chose this book on The Morrigan because Lora O'Brian had recommended it. Lora O'Brian is someone I trust in recommending authors and teachers of Irish Pagan history. That being said, I am very glad I was able to listen to this book on Audible. Courtney Weber gives the listener/ reader a lot of information on The Morrigan and also includes different perspectives allowing the listener/reader to research and make up their own mind on how they interpret the history. I plan on reading more from this author.

Great book!

Love this book so much. I didn't know much about the Morrigan before and now I'm obsessed.
