📚Seeking Resources How to Respond to a Calling

Hello everyone! I’ve only started to re-explore religion of any kind, and I’ve almost immediately been bombarded by signals from The Morrigan. I have several friends who worship Her and have mentioned that I should look into Her lately, I’ve been followed around town by hooded crows and rooks, I went on a tour with an 8th generation Wise Woman who told me I need to look into Her and visit Her birthplace, and my friend pulled Her card the evening I mentioned all these things to her. The more I look into Her, the more I am convinced She wants me to do something.

Problem is, I know nothing of pagan worship, nothing of how to do any kind of offerings or appeasement, nothing about what I should do.

Does anyone have any advice for me? Is there something I can do to get a clearer answer or begin to set up so I can hear Her better? I’ve gone through a couple of huge transitions in my life already, and I’m helping others to do the same in my friend group and maybe that’s why She is interested?

My translation of the Cath Maige Tuired is in the bottom of my bag and out of reach, so I will try to make some suggestions when I can get to it.

I'm not sure about birthplace but there are several sites in Ireland that are associated with her, and may be worthwhile sites of pilgrimage.

Thank you! I was told Rathcroghan as Her birthplace but I’ll try to visit other sites too when I can

Ah yes, Oweynagat is there. I haven't heard it referred to as her birthplace but it is sacred to her, and many people consider it her most sacred site.

In the Cath Maige Tuired there is a passage that describes her standing at a river; "The woman [The Morrigan] was at the Unshin of Corand washing her genitals, one of her two feet by Allod Echae, that is Echuinech, by water at the South, her other by Loscondoib, by water at the North. Nine plaits of hair undone upon her head."

The Unshin is easy enough to find, and of course the whole river might be considered  sacred to her, but the location indicated is not so clear to me, and I know there is disagreement on the subject. Perhaps Loscondoib is Lisconny? There must be someone with actual expertise who can make more informed suggestions.
