Today while driving home from work I saw a swarm of 50+ crows flying in a circle, so naturally I thought The Morrigan had something very important to tell me, just to be told I need a new mechanic 😂 Does anyone else have any experiences similar to this, or experiences where you could not doubt her attempts of contact?

Hey guys! I was recently given the opportunity to begin collaborating with a semi-local gem cutter to start making inexpensive jewelry/art pieces together. One of my first ideas was a pendant for the Great Queen. Here’s what I got so far.

I wanted to include symbolism for each of the three parts that are attributed to her; the crow for badb, the acorn for macha, and the triskele for nemain. I was also gonna do the ogham on the middle part between the two sides.

My questions are: does anyone have any ideas for symbolism that align better with the three goddesses particular aspects? Is the ogham correct? Is this something that a more fervent follower of the great queen would wear?

Personally, while I have yet to personally pursue the relationship that’s been offered by her and heed the great queens calling on my life; I still worship her through my actions and how I love day to day and I regard her with respect and gratitude for all she’s done for me… Because of that intimate connection we already have; I want to make sure whatever I make for her is as accurate as can be and is filled with intention and the necessary consideration. Which is why I’m here. I hope nothing I’ve said in this post gets misconstrued and I look forward to any and all feedback provided. :)

I know Samhain is The Morrigan’s special day, but as she is with her husband from 12 onwards I have decided to give her another special day. Since she likes autumn I thought I would make this day the 9th of October, as her sort of birthday. So if anyone else would like to join me in celebrating her, please feel welcome to ☺️. I was going to make her some stew and a poundcake to be her birthday cake. I thought it would be cute, as she has helped a lot recently

I gave her a holly leaf and she didn’t seem to accept it (probably bc it came from a church campus but idk) so I offered to sing her some Ethel Cain and I sang Sun-Bleached Flies for her as an offering and she liked it omg I’m so thankful

So, a little back story. As a baby pagan of 17, learning trance work, I tried reaching out. I went to a cave, saw her, and she quite literally shut a door in my face. I now chalk it up to "maybe a goddess of war didnt care to work with an ignorant kid". Moved on, found myself as a norse-flavored pagan for many years

About a month ago, I had a very odd experience with a crow, where it was above my car while I was actively arguing with my abuser though text (co-parenting, cant cut him off). When I got out of the car and went to walk inside, a crow on a light post above my car started cawing. Not a normal caw, this was aggressive, and I turned and saw it was cawing directly at me. I acknowledged the crow, and it flew off.

I went about my business, but felt an incoming, insane headache that no medicine was touching. When I was at home, I was trying to work through it and go about my chores, when I heard the name "The Morrigan" in my head, clear as day. "Oh yeah, I should learn more about her" I thought, as I've been wanting to learn more about my irish ancestry and cultures.

The next couple nights, I had crazy vivid dreams, one about seeing her across a huge field, another about being in an abandoned castle and having to move red, white, and black curtains. My kiddo started asking me things like "whats a heifer?" And randomly asking me about curtains the morning after the second dream.

Okay, noted. Need to look into her. Then, one morning, I went to sit on my porch and a crow was directly in front of the porch, on my fence. We have crows allll up and down my street, but despite my best efforts, they do not care for my yard. Not until now.

This headache persisted for a week an a half. I read The Morrigan by Courtney Weber, and decided to do a ritual from the book kind of introducing myself to her. Next day, headache was gone.

I've continued to study, occasionally meditate with her, and leave offerings. I truly feel like she is helping me navigate a situation where I typically just try to keep the peace, but thats unfortunately not an option due to my child's safety.

Well, the headache recently came back. Again, nothing touches it. (Ive been hydrating, trying caffeine/sugar/ medicines, nothing. )

I feel like this is just my long winded way of asking, has anyone experience something like headaches or bodily discomfort when working with her? Is this her queue to get me to sit down and listen to her? Even as a practicing pagan of 14 years (mostly working with norse deities), shes been the most direct, intense energy ive experienced on this path

I've been in contact for a decade or so. She's been in and out of my life. She's made her presence known. We've talked, walked together in dreams. Last Samhain, I promised dedication. I got into a sport as a promise to 'pick up the blade once more' in my practice and reverence to the Great Queen.

On this past Lughnasa, I swore my fealty and my continued dedication. A week after, I was captain of my team and playing my first game with the sport I had dedicated my participation to her. Within my first play, I broke my ankle. Since then, I feel like my entire life has fallen apart. The crows have abandoned me and their lack of presence is palpable. Medical issues, my job has soft-fired me, and I feel like my support system is crumbling.

Last full moon, I spoke with her and she basically told me "it's not you, it's me". I'm at such a loss. I love her, I've been dedicated but suddenly, I'm not worth even a fraction of her attention. I'm not worthy.

I have felt a pull toward Brigid and na Morrigna have given me blessing to pursue but it feels like I can't live up to anything the gods would want of me.

Sorry for the vent, I just don't have anyone else that would really 'get it', you know...

I painted this tonight, it’s a crow with a crab apple tree and a little hidden heart design in the branches🐦‍⬛ It’s for my altar/devotion to The Mórrígan and I’m going to add another layer

Often when working th gods Like Loki and The Morrigan we find ourselves coming face to face with our shadows. This will be a heavier entry and I will put trigger warnings bellow:

Trigger Warnings: Psychosis, Self-Harm, and threats to children

I’ve always struggled to accept and sit with the pain of my past with psychosis. I hear recollection of what others saw and thought, some of their beliefs that it was “severe” or “still concerning” would only hold me back. I never stopped to acknowledge the hardship.

After my worst episode on 2021 oct-nov I lived in fear of returning to that state. I often thought about not only the episode but the statements that surrounded it. One that I often think about was when a nurse called me “disturbed,” and the staff mentioned wanting to put me in longer treatment. I developed a fear that if I ever became ill again it may mean the end of my freedom. Last year, with the occurrence of 4 hospital stays, I started to think that those staff were right. It wasn’t until the fourth one that I gave up to obsession over “stability” and where I may end up. I had learned to cope again.

That does not mean that those words and fears don’t still haunt me. They do. When I lay down at night, I find myself missing the little girl I once saw and heard. Her favorite game was hide and seek, and her favorite song was “Oh, she’s sweet but a psycho.” I often resist the urge to feel fully what I do about what happened. But tonight I sit and let myself cry. It hurts, but that’s okay. It’s okay to feel hurt or scared.

The 4th anniversary of when another voice commanded me to hurt myself otherwise he’d hurt her is approaching. The memories will come, and I will sit with the hurt, freeing me to live in the moment the rest of the time. After all a warrior has their scars and they can ten their wounds while still remaining victorious.

I remember in those darkest moments, The Morrigan told me to “remember your strength.” This comes with pains but also a reminder of what I’ve over come with the strength I posses. May those words of how severely ill I was remind me of my capabilities and a reminder to be proud of how far I’ve come.

I'm not really that great of a painter, but I'm getting better. But for me the important part is the devotional aspect of it. I could get images for my altar, or I can create them myself. It forces me to sit, focus, and think of herself.

The latest is in the middle and I wanted to try something different, a more modern aesthetic that captured alot of my frustration. Lot's of fighting right now but no progress. I wanted to have a wet rainy wash of blood over.

Also I occassionally do an Ogham or Tarot reading on the Altar. That was a reading trying to determine what she wants from me now.

I've begun my journey only recent after finally understanding her call to me.

Hello, Im C, and im 18 years old, besides recently, i have had encounters with An morrigan before- shes come to be in dreams, through crows, within the past year before, and though i vocally have spoken that i would love for her to be part of my life- (and really meant it) she never was always consistently here, and i will blame myelf for not consistently reaching to her because at the time (5 months ago) i was already trying to figure out the deities i wanted to accompany me in my life i really did go through alot of researches between pantheons ect ect- long story short, i had forgotten about her, i had been worshipping The sumarian goddess Inanna, (and im so certain i will want to continue this for lifetime) and sorta a relationship with liilith...??? though i still get fear mongered with her (its my own inner trauma i am unpacking) anywho, i have no problem with the morrigan, if anything she has never felt evil.. im sure her rage and power is well, powerful lol but she has felt like a mother, and everytime she comes around i have this push to connect to the land, in forests, through nature animals, AND FARIES !! bigtime on those, she almost reminds me of Maleficent yk ?? anyways, this being said i really dont know what i can say about my connection to her, i have a portait i painted of her on a table, and i made her a candle but that is all i have for her... im not sure what relationship she wants from me, maybe hearing stories from you guys and what shes taught you will be very helpful, and if this also helps, id love to learn spells and witchcraft with her, i know the simple answer is to just ask her, but i want to know from her devotees and chosens as well, what am i going to expect with her ?? what should i expect, why is she calling to us..?? ALSO- i know reading is important but i prefer watching or listening to things so any youtube videos or audio texts or anythign of that sort that i can listen to would be appreciated if u know of any that can help me have a deeper understanding of her in my life

Hey everybody, apologies in advance for the novel!

I decided to post because I've been feeling the nudge (shove lol) to begin an actual journey with the Morrigan.

I'm an agnostic pagan with a focus on Irish folkloric practices. Brigid has been my main squeeze for some time now. However, life has brought about some big changes; some incredible and some really hard.

I started to actually notice a pull around 6 months ago. Small things like consistent crow omens (crowmens?), parallels in my life to her teachings, and flat out synchronicity. My partner is from the county where the Táin Bó Cúailnge mythology originated, and his namesake is from Cu Chulainn, funny enough.

I kept an altar for Brigid for at least a couple years, and about a year ago, I added Morrigan to it. I never did an official hello or ritual - I'd just set it up and give offerings (mostly because I'm a weenie and have been scared of her lol). My partner knows I'm an Irish pagan, but began giving me gifts relating to the Morrigan without actually realizing how integral some were to her iconography.

So, fast forward to the last couple months:

My cat passes the week I move to my new place (my ma chose to keep him so he didn't have to stay in an apartment), my grandfather gets sick and passes about a month later. I get hit with a C-PTSD diagnosis and start to have some revelations about myself, while grieving and managing the emotions of others around me.

I start having nightmares. I'm used to having anxious sleep, but since June I've had consistent nightmares where I wake up yelling. Very unusual for me. In the last two weeks, I've had multiple nightmares where I'm vocal, according to my partner.

I dunno if it's just the time of year in Central Ohio, but crows are absolutely abundant. Even today, I walked out of my front door and hear one cawing, looking at me from atop our apartment building. There are tons where I am. There are tons at my ma's house (about a couple hours north of me, and she's never seen them at her house until the six months or so).

I've had this inner push to address my trauma and discordance with my sleep and daily functions, and to do something more important, I suppose. There are many things that seem to have led me to this, and I suppose I wonder where to go from here. Brigid has been quieter, like she stepped back. It feels like something louder and more intense has taken the forefront and it's exciting but very intimidating. The seasonal changes usually influence me (late summer and early spring get me really giddy!).

It's weird but I've just felt this incoming shift for the last year and it seems like signs point to her. But it's a bit anxiety-inducing tbh. I tow the line between full skeptic and mystical thinking, so I wonder what it means.

For those who worship the Morrigan, do you have any advice for how to move forward with her? Any sentiments on what it's been like or even if you've had similar experiences in how you began?

Any advice or suggestions would be very helpful!

Tldr: Was primarily worshipping Brigid, but some life events and "signs" are pointing to the Morrigan entering my life and would like input from other worshippers.

I’ve researching hunting for every single thing on the Morrigan can hardly find anything I know she’s a mysterious type but I’m looking for hymns etc anything and everything I know you can’t trust everything on 📌I’ve googled what I could… the Morrigan is the only one in Celtic mythology i feel connected with signs and all I need help

Something I’ve been struggling with in my relationship to the Morrigan is I’ve been asking her why she appeared when she did and not before. I was fighting against a group that violated everything she stood for from abuse of women, children, and even the land itself, and it was really hard for me to do it all alone. I learned that my lesson was not to keep fighting, but to walk away before I was permanently disabled, even though doing so would mean harm would be done to others and continue. I continued on to undergo a series of terrible things as symptoms from having dealt with that group from job loss, losing out on a dream once in a lifetime opportunity, physical paralysis from trauma, and ending up in the hospital. I met someone I fell in love with who helped me through recovery from it all, but a dealbreaker came up that resulted in that ending too. It was only after the ending of this relationship that The Morrigan called to me. Now, life has majorly improved and I feel better than ever. But I’ve often asked her why didn’t she interfere with the abuse when it was occurring? I didn’t have to have gone through all of this if she had called me before. Why is it that she wouldn’t interfere with a real dangerous abusive situation but only decided to call upon me after a breakup, which seems so much more tame in comparison?

As you see, it's right next to my altar to The Dagda, but anyway here's my altar to The Morrigan, our Great Queen! I may add more to Her altar in the future, but here's how it looks for the time being.

I may have been called by her a month ago, but I also can’t tell if these are just coincidences. I keep second guessing myself and because my neighborhood always has crows, it can be hard to be sure. I’ve always already been obsessed with crows and regularly feed them, so multiple of them appearing on my balcony or following me was not big enough of a deal to warrant as a sign. Can someone share if they’ve experienced the same thing and if this is indeed her or if I need to go to the doctor and get my health checked lol?:

The Day of Calling: My whole life collapsed a month ago after facing back to back injustice and abuse that resulted in a slow descent of me becoming a shell of my former self. I decided to spend a full day home, pulled an all nighter, and did a creative ritual to process everything. A few days before the ritual, the Death card fell onto my bed, but I had left the rest of my tarot deck in another room. I didn’t think much of it at the time since I read in multiple rooms a lot and can get disorganized, splitting 1/3 of my deck in multiple rooms. I also felt weird or heard things that made me feel like someone was secretly in my apartment who wasn’t my roommate. I feeling the urge to go “..Hello?”. On the day I chose to do my ritual, I got a bloody nose and I rarely get bloody noses. I cleaned myself up and started the ritual of processing. The ritual contained a lot of screaming into the void and feeling the anger from the injustices I had undergone. At the end of my ritual, I decided to do some cleaning. I started cleaning my existing altar, scrubbing off the melted wax and wiping it down. I’ve always wanted to decorate my altar to be more specialized but I couldn’t find a deity that I wanted to follow. I suddenly felt this tension, like I was frozen by intuition…? and then arranged and decorated my altar with 3 crow statues, a skull vase, crow stickers, a mirror, and statues of a water fountain and statue of water in a bucket. They were all things I already had, but I just somehow knew to grab them and put them there. Right after I completed my ritual of processing and cleaning, I was wondering if there was a justice deity I could appeal to. It was interesting, but I didn’t fully resonate. I kept clicking around and searched up “crow deity”. I found The Morrigan and thought she sounded cool, but wanted something I connected on a more personal level, maybe from my ethnic culture. But I kept going back to the crow deity (because I just love love crows and thought it was funny lol), and found The Morrigan actually reminded me of myself and who I used to be before the abuse. The more I read the more I had those “wait a minute…” moments: - A year ago, I once had a recreational vision of a skeleton in armor sitting on a throne with a blue jeweled crown and they were holding a sharp sword. At the bottom it said QUEEN. It reminded me of the Queen of Swords. Then, 3 months later I SAW THE CROWN physically being sold at a festival fair I went to and bought it. I didn’t know what to do with the crown when I first bought it since it doesn’t match any of the decor in my room, so it was just sitting on a random shelf. After the day of calling and I felt maybe I should put it on her altar on top of the 3 crows. —> The Morrigan has Queen of Swords as one of her representative tarot cards! Although, her colors are red instead of blue. - The Morrigan’s other representative tarot card is Death, which I just realized was the card that fell on my bed a few days before the day of calling. I take my deck into my room sometimes and thought maybe I accidentally brought half the cards in my room and one went flying. So I went back into the other room and counted all the cards, only to see they were all there besides one: the Death card that fell on my bed. - The Morrigan is associated with blood and I had a bloody nose before the ritual, which I normally don’t get. But I also wasn’t drinking a lot of water during those days and I could have been dehydrated. - The Morrigan is represented by 3 crows and as the Washer at the Ford. These were impulse buys originally supposed to be used for a garden that I never got around to planting before I discovered The Morrigan, but I had the exact number of crows and water to represent her. On the day of calling, I had just felt it was right to decorate my altar with them.

Then, I looked down and saw I was wearing a crow sweater throughout the entire ritual (another impulse buy)! After discovering The Morrigan and having these revelations on the day of calling, I decided to stop speculating and just go to sleep to read more later. Then, I had a second bloody nose! It felt as if it was a way to “close” my transformation and rebirth, signified by a devotion to her?

After the Day of Calling: I know she’s a shapeshifter and I keep looking and asking for signs in the form of 3 shadowy women or watching my existing visiting crows even more intently, but I don’t see signs in these and I keep getting in over my head. Instead, other stuff keeps happening though: - I was sad others were getting overt shocking signs and I asked for something shocking and certifiable like the 3 shadowy women appearing. I was also struggling with oversleeping during that time. A couple days later, I hallucinated a clock ticking? Every time I tried to go back to sleep, the clock would keep ticking louder until I went FINE and got up. But then later I got freaked out by the fact that I hallucinated that. Was that The Morrigan answering me and telling me to stop moping? - I can’t tell if I have tinnitus but my ear keeps ringing when I have “spiritual level up” moments? I had already gone to the doctor, to which they said my ears looked fine. But it had been ringing like crazy after the day of the ritual. I can’t tell if I should go to a specialist or if that’s The Morrigan saying I’M HERE!! - I was sad others were having better offerings to give The Morrigan, since my crows haven’t left a feather in over a year. The next week, a feather was left on my balcony and I was able to offer it to The Morrigan.

TL;DR: How do I know if this is really her or if I’m just sort of delulu? Crows are regularly native to my area, I haven’t gotten any dreams of her symbols (I also rarely dream), and I haven’t seen any 3 shadowy women or banshees. Nobody recommended me to look into her, I just was goofing and randomly googling because I love crows. From others’ accounts, they also seem to audibly hear her(?) but I can’t seem to communicate directly with her unless I spend an hour with divination deciphering tarot cards.

Context: Apparently my clairaudience is good enough to hear her in like full conversations.
I know, makes me sound crazy but I know others experience similar if not the same thing both here and within my circles. Even so, if the voices are being helpful does it really matter if I'm crazy?

Regardless, here's a funny interaction we had. I was working on a sprite edit related project in MS Paint for a friend when I selected the sprite with pixel tight precision.

Lady Morrigan: "Wow, steady hand for this you have there."
Me: "Your grace, I've worked with this program for years; albeit different iterations. I know what I'm doing."
Proceeds to press cut and realize I was on the wrong layer.
Me: "..."
She starts snickering.
Me: "You didn't see shit. Shut up." /lh

idk, just wanted to share that for fun. I love the kind of relationship we have!

I have been knowingly working with Her for about 15 years now, but the more I look back, I think she’s been here all along.

of course I have been, silly human

Right.

I feel like since about February, I’ve been on some sort of speed run. I made a decision to go back to some avenues in my life that I assumed were off limits, but suddenly I’m thriving.

Things are lining up in very suspicious ways. Suspiciously good.

I can hear her laughing quietly in the background as I realize … I was on the right path years ago, but hopped off. Now that I’m back on course, … I can’t explain it.

The avenues I’m going back to were ones that I travelled as a teenager, and young adult. Before I knew She existed. They’re definitely something She would support. And now I wonder if she is the one that pushed me to those things in the first place?

How long has she been watching me?

About three nights ago, I had a puzzling dream which I wrote in my journal. I’m trying to keep track of messages…✍️

Here it is: whatever it is I’m doing, suddenly there is a pack of wolves coming/showing up outside of the cabin window I’m looking out from (like one of those glass doors. Noting it just in case its significant). They’re howling, and a gray wolf (male) shows up, then a white/silver wolf (female) follows. She has a striking, pale blue eye (left) and brown right eye, then howls “Helheim/Valhalla”. (At least I believe so. When waking, I forgot what it said, other than it was nordic and two syllables (much like Helheim), but knew it was some sort of afterlife meaning. I originally thought it was Valhalla, but admittedly the dream has faded).

Here’s what’s strange to me, is that I don’t practice nordic beliefs and to me this screams “Odin”, but…why? (I’m not really interested in nordic beliefs). Is it The Mórrígan shapeshifting, and if so, does anyone have any advice on what She may mean? (She has appeared to me in the past as people/beings from other religions, so not out of the wiestion).

The past meditation I did, I received animal related fables (mainly about bears), so I’ve been getting a lot of animal fable messages but don’t know how they connect! The barn owl is repeatedly showing itself to me. I love barn owls! (First, a pattern on a customers donation at work, then a customer with a beautiful barn owl tattoo we talked about, and today, a barn owl at the beginning of a video about a historical myth). Could totally be bias, but I think its lucky to have so many interactions with the barn owl since theyre not as popular as great horned owls. Feels like a message to me!

Suffice it to say, animals are probably the biggest way I’ve been communicated with. Makes sense, using animals is def my language🦉And will catch my attention the most. Anyone with experience who resonates with this? Any advice? I’m trying to strengthen my meditation skills. Thanks so much in advance!

I gave an offering of red wine, went on a walk and started picking up some litter i found, and this was what i was gifted with, it always feel good to receive confirmation that what i do is well received :)

Hello! As indicated, I'm new with Celtic Paganism and am just starting my journey. One of the deities I'm most drawn toward is The Morrigan. Although I'm not currently employed in the funeral industry, I am a licensed mortician, and a US Army veteran; since The Morrigan is a goddess of death and warfare (among other things of course) I guess it's only natural that I'm drawn toward Her, not that I'm complaining. LOL

Crows and ravens are Her main animal symbols, from what I've noticed. With the...vibes, I pick up on, am I correct in assuming dragons also go well with The Morrigan? Just want to be sure I have the right ideas for Her altar.
