The Morrigan

Celtic Goddess of Magick and Might

By: Courtney Weber, Lora O'Brien - foreword

Narrated by: Wendy Tremont King

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....

divine

It was what I was looking for for a really long time. Practical and also deep and captivating.

everything you want in a book about a goddess

Amazing tellings and mixtures of personal journey, stories from others, lore, prayers, rituals, and it was great to listen to! the narrator has aan amazing voice. I need a physical copy now!

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.
