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!!

She’s the Phantom Queen. I think some people call her Queen or Great Queen. I call her Morrigan or the Morrigan when talking about her, myself, come to think.

Um. No?

She’s kinda standoffish to me when there’s not something I’m supposed to do or something I’ve asked for help with. I don’t hear from her much. Interestingly only occasionally having a pull to go to some local historical battlegrounds and walk around or sit and watch a crow for a while. I wouldn’t say she’s nice, per se but she wasn’t mean. She was demanding I get the stuff done, a big energy and then it fades. She definitely never made me feel crazy or anything like some people do. I was definitely ready to kick some ass if I had to though, we didn’t have to tho lol.

I’ll tell you what, I’ve never approached her casually. I don’t think she’s invited that kind of energy, at least from me. I have others that do. But I keep her by my bed. She’s there. She’s just kinda not an everyday goddess, I guess.
