Beschreibung
“She is the spirit of fury and peace, power and destruction, joy and terror,” writes author Courtney Weber. "She is warrior, queen, death omen, mother, murderer, lover, spy, conspirator, faery, shape-shifter, healer, and sometimes the living earth itself. A captivating contradiction: a demonic female who both haunts and heals; benevolent in one moment, ghastly the next, and kind the moment after that.”
The Morrigan is one of Pagan Ireland’s most famous—and notorious—goddesses. Her name translated as “phantom queen” or “great queen,” the Morrigan is famous for being a goddess of war, witchcraft and death, protection and retribution. This book also explores her patronage of motherhood, healing, shapeshifting, and the land. Classified among the Sidhe (fairies), the Morrigan dates back at least to Ireland’s Iron Age, but she is as modern as she is ancient―enjoying a growing contemporary and global following.
Author Courtney Weber provides a guide for the modern devotee of this complex, mysterious goddess that encompasses practical veneration with modern devotionals, entwined with traditional lore and Irish-Celtic history.

I love this book. It's full of well resurched information. Weber does a great job in retelling and interpreting the myths about the Morrigan in a comprehensive way. The book is easy to read and Courtney weaves together her own expierences, expierences of other devotees of the Morrigan and her history and myths, in a beautiful way, but she always makes it clear which is which. There are a few practical tipps, rituals, prayers and spells, but they are not the focus of this book. What makes me love this book is, that Courtney Weber really takes us with her on the journey and shows us what it means to walk with the Morrigan, here and now. I wasn't sure if the Morrigan was calling me, when i started the book, even though i already read the books of Morgan Daimler, about the Morrigan (which are great, too). But now, I must admit, that the Morrigan may already have been on my side for a long time. At least she seems to be the one I need by my side at present. And now I'm ready to listen and do the work.
