The Morrigan, the Great Queen or Phantom Queen, is the shape-shifting Celtic goddess of war, fate and death, and a queen among the Tuatha De Danann, the People of the Goddess Danu who were the gods of pagan Ireland before they withdrew into the hills and the undersea kingdoms.
She aided the defeat of the Firbolgs at the First Battle of Magh Tuireadh and the Fomorii at the second, and the Celts believed she flew shrieking over the battlefield as a raven or hooded crow, foretelling and influencing the outcome of the fray. She appears both as a single goddess and as a triune one, her other aspects being Badb, whose name means vulture or venomous, and Nemain, meaning frenzy or fury.
She is also the Washer at the Ford, found rinsing the clothes of men about to die, and she presided over rivers, lakes and fresh water while standing as patroness of revenge, night, magic, prophecy, priestesses and witches.
Yet she seldom killed herself; she used her power and magick to stir up the warriors she favored, and the Celts honored her as the one who brought honorable death so that rebirth could follow, which makes her a fertility goddess as much as a battle goddess.
This manual was channeled and compiled by Elizabeth Hibel in June 2007, and it carries the related Welsh sea goddess Morgen of the Ninefold Sisterhood, who rules death, rebirth, fate and the sea, through to her later form as Morgan le Fay.
What this attunement is intended to support:
- Courage in a situation you would rather walk away from, drawn from a goddess called upon by warriors.
- Sovereignty, meaning recognition of your own feminine power, which is exactly what Cuchulainn failed to see and what cost him.
- The strength to face an ending honestly, since this goddess holds death and rebirth as one single movement.
- Justice, in the sense of a fight taken up for a reason she would agree with, which is the only kind she is said to join.
- Prophetic and intuitive work, her own ground as patroness of prophecy, magic and priestesses.
- Balance rather than easy comfort, because she is dark without being evil and the manual is careful to say so.
What you receive:
- The Goddess Morrigan manual as Elizabeth Hibel compiled it, kept whole as she asks.
- Her lore in depth: the Tuatha De Danann, the triune aspects, the Washer at the Ford, the Cuchulainn cycle, and the Morgen material with its Avalon and Arthurian threads.
- The attunement procedure for hands on and for distance work, with the opening, the closing and the thanks.
Who this is for:
- People who work with dark goddesses and want real lore rather than a thin sketch.
- Practitioners facing an ending, a conflict or a decision that calls for nerve.
- Those drawn to Celtic and Irish deity work who would rather study one goddess properly.
How it is used:
Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed, relax, and call in your helpers, guides or great spirit, asking for their help and protection and asking to be a clear, pure channel. Surround yourself and the person receiving with white and gold light, and ask them to sit quietly with eyes closed and relaxed. Place your hands on them, visualize the energies passing from you to them, and ask that they receive it perfectly and that it always be used for the greater good of all.
Afterwards invite them to open their eyes and share anything they noticed, thank your helpers, and give them a glass of water. A distance attunement runs exactly the same way, with the person visualized and the energy seen crossing the space between you.
