The Morrigan is probably one of the most terrifying War Goddess in any mythology. Not only is she a carnal destroyer, but she also favors cleverness and subterfuge, other two less known methods of war. In a way, her three sides are the full embodiment of warfare, and all the horrors with it. And even further with her being a sovereignty goddess, she would urge her people to be free by any means. And taking one look at what Ulster has become since the rest of Ireland was freed and it wasn’t... well....

From what you've described she sounds like an embodiment of the human fear or anxiety of death rather than a being dedicated to causing death or celebrating an afterlife like most divine beings. From prophesying death to appearing in scenarios that would likely cause death she serves as a warning that you should be afraid or to test your valor and character in the face of that fear. That's just how I understood her based on this video but I know nothing beyond what you said here. I love that you're doing Celtic mythology though, please keep it up!

Studied celtic mythology in first year of my degree, the tree godesses and forurms of the morigan are (tree being the number of parts to almost all gods) The beutiful blood eyed raven haired godess of battle lust and the glory that awaits those she faviours in battle and the pure joy of blood lust almost as sweet as the fourm of a young woman beneath the sheets The crone(hag) who weeps in the fpurm of the berived mother of warriors lost to the slaughter screaming for ethernety and washing her sons cloths upon the river bank to remove his blood The crow/raven (we only have ravens in ireland but we call them crows) the gorger of flesh and the only true victorof battles the one who feasts and grows fat on the folly of battle lust All are the same fourm and one must acept all to gain the desired one. For instance the high king was out hunting with the men of the finna and came upon at cron as day passed into night as they mad camp by the foot of a hill the men of the finna looked on in disgust at her as she mad advances on them but she promised who ever slept with her would enjoy great ness and so the high king slept with her the cron and in the morning woke beside the beutiful godesa of the morigan and had her also befot the crow flew away over his head towards his enemies home. One must acept all tree aspect of the morigan to truly have her favor even if that is acepting your own demise

This probably refers to the Celts being invaded and subjugated by Romans, Saxons and others. I think the implication is that if Mordred hadn't killed Arthur with Caliburn, the Celtic countries would have survived and become one Britain. Something which I, as someone who's extensively looked into pre-Saxon British history, doubt immensely :P

Morrigan is the death goddess; not of the same type as Persephone, or Persephaxsa (these two, not the same)- a different "office"... She is the same type as, in much earlier language Hereqex'ledevex'helez (here x is like German ch, or Sumerian x). In this very ancient language, the consort of the latter, the death god, is Zucbehebmee, not the same type as Pluto or Anubis. Morrigan is like an inexorable force, true... Persephaxsa- in ancient Greek, this is the same sort of x sound; this is also true of Caxsandra, best spelling for a goddess, her mortal walk was in ancient Greece- the very same as Celtic Cleena. There are some myths about Cleena and a mortal lover, Keevan, but like most such myths, this is the work of incarnate demons. Very few of the land took these pseudo-charming tales seriously; some later scholars or historians found them noteworthy. As a interpretive principle, the only divinities who had avatars or mahavatars, anciently in Celtic land, were Niamh, one of Venus- called Aine' by the Celts (removed- her replacement is Vumefeqa); Morgan la Fay, Fortuna herself; Arthur, avatar of Artaios- most of the fabricated Arthurian tales come again from incarnate demons... Arthur was of Celtic patriarchal attribution, was friendly with the Romans; Merruddin, or Merlin- same soul as St. Germain- other names of actual gods and goddesses, cited as ancient Kings and retinue, etc. in bizarre tales- these are of demonic origins.

Yes indeed she was mostly known by that name at that time, indeed, later known by many names throughout the ages and cultures. Humanity has a hard time following the act of beings capable of existence across long time spans.

seems like she protects people n general, but seeks vengeance upon those who slight her, even accidentally. a typical god/goddess type figure.

Alright couple of things 1st the most superficial red hair. The morrigan is a shifter Her hair is whatever color she wants it to be. However it is near of never to my knowledge said to be read a's however said to be black in a couple of different stores at least in the stories where she doesn't take the form of a crone with grey or white hair. Keep in mind the stereotypical Irish redhead stems from norse genes and the tales of the Tuatha de dannan predate norse presence in Ireland. Now to get to the more important things she is a triple war goddess she embodies the horror of war which is also a psychopomp who conveys the dead to the other world as a chooser of the dead striker to the Valkyrie. We get glimmers of her as a fertility goddess and definitely a conveyor of sovereignty Which still remains in her bonding to and ties to the Dagda. She is not just the horror of war aspect. That was emphasized by the monks recording the tales in the process of demonizing her which isn't to say that she isn't a dark goddess but she has more than just those aspects. For those of you mentioning the iron Druid fiction series she is most certainly not The conflicted sex freak as portrayed there.
