The Morrigan | Free Book
“A masterfully blend of history, mythology, spell work and
personal anecdote that beautifully explores the depth and breadth
of ‘The Great Queen.’” —Amy Blackthorn, priestess of The Morrigan,
and author of Blackthorn’s Botanical Magic
“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.

"Courtney Weber's new book, The Morrigan: Celtic Goddess of Magick and Might, adds much to the experiential material available on the Morrigan. The book is full of personal stories, interesting interpretations of the Morrigan's mythology, and methods to connect to her. It will certainly appeal to many of the goddess's followers today." --Morgan Daimler, author of Pagan Portals the Morrigan and Fairies: A Guide to the Celtic Fair Folk
