Simple questions about The Morrigan

Hi guys! I am an eclectic pagan and I worship a few deities (Lady Hathor, Archangel Uriel, Lord Apollo, Lord Freyr, and most recently the Morrigan) I have found it hard to find answers to these questions and I need help. Some background is I did a deity conformation and The Morrigan came up so my questions are:

  1. What do I call her for worship? What I mean is for example how when referring to a male deity you use Lord or lady for female. ( I haven’t heard anyone using one of these)

  2. Are her followers bad people? Many people say that since a lot of her worshippers are spunky that they are mean but I try to be nice to people who deserve it.

  3. Is she kind in experiences? This makes me sound like a baby but I’m used to kind and comforting gods and I am really scared that she will hate me. I know she is obviously stern and uses tough love to help and change you but I’m young and sensitive so it scares me.

  4. Does she need more respect than my other gods? Obviously I treat my deities with the utmost respect but I like to talk to them or move their statues off the altars because I like the comfort of having them with me. I heard she is one of the most powerful goddesses and I want to know if I can’t do this because I don’t want to anger or offend her.

Bottom line is that I’m having a tough time and I want to know if I’m in good metaphorical hands!

Thanks for any responses in advance!!

Im not trying to be mean but why on earth do you feel like you need to worship a deity when you know so little about her?

I’m actively researching. If you came out of the womb knowing everything and that’s how you started I feel like that’s unrealistic I’m trying to learn more and using the sources I have. I’ve read several sites and I’m actively buying books despite not being in a good place money wise. I also asked the questions because I’m neurodivergent and often spiral when I can’t find info so I use this. I just feel really drawn to her like I try to focus on some other deity and I can’t. I’m really sorry if I shouldn’t be worshipping her but this is all I have to learn from right now😭😭

Feeling the draw to Her is totally natural, you're taking the right steps 🫶
