Today, I wanna talk about something that really got me hooked – Morrigan’s Horse. I was messing around with some old Irish myths, you know, just for fun, and I stumbled upon this Morrigan character. Man, she’s a trip! They call her the “Phantom Queen” or the “Great Queen”. She’s like this big-shot goddess of war, death, and fate. It’s said she can even flip the script in battles. Wild, right?
So, I started digging deeper into this Morrigan thing. The first thing that caught my eye was all the stuff about crows and ravens. Apparently, these birds are, like, her signature. They’re often linked to death and battlefields, which makes sense since Morrigan is all about that war and death stuff.
- I made a list of all the symbols connected to her. Crows, ravens, battlefields. It was like putting together a puzzle.
- Then I found out she can change into different forms. Like, she’s got three main ones, and each one is a whole different vibe. One of them, Badb, is often shown as a crow or a raven. So, I drew a picture of that, just to get a better idea.
I kept reading and found all these stories about her. It’s like a whole soap opera up in the heavens! There are so many myths and symbols around her, it’s like trying to untangle a giant ball of yarn. But I’m into that kind of challenge, so I kept at it.
The Realization
The more I learned, the more I realized how important it is to get all these symbols right if you really wanna understand Morrigan. It’s not just about knowing she’s a war goddess. It’s about understanding what she represents in the whole Celtic culture. So, I decided to make a little project out of it.
I gathered all the info I could find on her role in Celtic mythology and how she’s shown in art. I even wrote a little article about it, just for myself, to organize my thoughts. I started connecting the dots between all these symbols and her influence over life and death.
It was like unlocking a secret code or something. Suddenly, all these old stories started to make more sense. I felt like I was getting a glimpse into a whole different world, a world of ancient myths and powerful goddesses.
So yeah, that’s my Morrigan’s Horse story. It’s been a wild ride, but I’ve learned a ton. And I’m not done yet. There’s still so much more to explore about this fascinating goddess. Who knows what other secrets I’ll uncover?
