The Morrígan - Masterpost

General Description

The Morrígan (Irish: Mór-Ríoghain) is an Irish goddess of death, war and prophecy.

In the myths, she would often appear to foretell the outcome of a battle or to foretell a doom. When appearing to someone, she would usually take another form which brings us to her next special ability, and that is shape-shifting. She was a great shape-shifter. Her most famous shape is the one of a raven. Besides the raven, she would also appear as a beautiful maiden, an old hag, a wolf, an eel and a heifer.

The Morrígan is described as a very powerful and sometimes erotic character. That is why a lot of people see her as a goddess of sovereignty, feminine energy and sexuality too.

A single deity or a trinity?

There is a discussion about whether The Morrígan is a single deity or a trinity consisting of a three different but closely related goddesses - Badb, Macha and Nemain.

In the myths, there is a great inconsistency when it comes to her names. It is stated that The Morrígan is a daughter of Ernmas, but Badb and Macha are also described as his daughters. So, it is possible that The Morrígan is a single deity, who then has two sisters.

However, there is also a theory where the three sisters, Badb, Macha and Anand, are collectively named as "The Morrígna", which would then make The Morrígan a trinity.

In Lebor Gabála Érenn it is stated: "Badb and Macha and Anand, of whom are the Paps of Anu in Luachar were the three daughters of Ernmas the she-farmer." (...) "Ernmas had other three daughters, Badb and Macha and Morrigu, whose name was Anand. Her three sons were Glon and Gaim and Coscar." (...) "Badb and Macha, greatness of wealth, Morrigu - springs of craftiness, sources of bitter fighting were the three daughters of Ernmas."

When it comes to me and my opinion: I have always seen The Morrígan as a single deity, and not a trinity. Then, Badb, Macha and Nemain (or Morrigu or Anand) could be single, separated deities too, or they are just The Morrigan's different shapes, since she is a great shape-shifter, so they are actually different persons but in their core all of them are actually one person, The Morrígan - that (second) theory seems most logical to me.

I am talking highly theoretically here and theory is not always so important, especially not in Paganism. What matters are our experiences with the deities and our gut feeling, so I would say that you should go for a theory that seems more logical to you and that gives you a better "frame" for your spirituality.

Passages from the myths

The Second Battle of Mag Tuired:

"Then she said to him, 'Undertake a battle of overthrowing.' The Morrigan said to Lug, 'Awake...'"

The Dagda had a house in Glen Edin in the north, and he had arranged to meet a woman in Glen Edin a year from that day, near the All Hallows of the battle. The Unshin of Connacht roars to the south of it. He saw the woman at the Unshin in Corann, washing, with one of her feet at Allod Echae (that is, Aghanagh) south of the water and the other at Lisconny north of the water. There were nine loosened tresses on her head. The Dagda spoke with her, and they united. "The Bed of the Couple" was the name of that place from that time on. (The woman mentioned here is the Morrigan). Then she told the Dagda that the Fomoire would land at Mag Ceidne, and that he should summon the aes dana of Ireland to meet her at the Ford of the Unshin, and she would go into Scetne to destroy Indech mac De Domnann, the king of the Fomoire, and would take from him the blood of his heart and the kidneys of his valor. Later she gave two handfuls of that blood to the hosts that were waiting at the Ford of the Unshin. Its name became "The Ford of Destruction" because of that destruction of the king."

"'And you, Morrigan,' said Lug, 'what power?' 'Not hard to say,' she said. 'I have stood fast; I shall pursue what was watched; I will be able to kill; I will be able to destroy those who might be subdued.'"

"Then the Morrigan the daughter of Ernmas came, and she was strengthening the Tuatha De to fight the battle resolutely and fiercely. She then chanted the following poem: 'Kings arise to the battle!' Immediately afterwards the battle broke, and the Fomoire were driven to the sea."

"Then after the battle was won and the slaughter had been cleaned away, the Morrigan, the daughter of Ernmas, proceeded to announce the battle and the great victory which had occurred there to the royal heights of Ireland and to its sid−hosts, to its chief waters and to its rivermouths. And that is the reason Badb still relates great deeds. 'Have you any news?' everyone asked her then.

'Peace up to heaven. Heaven down to earth. Earth beneath heaven, Strength in each, A cup very full, Full of honey; Mead in abundance. Summer in winter, Peace up to heaven.'

She also prophesied the end of the world, foretelling every evil that would occur then, and every disease and every vengeance; and she chanted the following poem:

'I shall not see a world Which will be dear to me: Summer without blossoms, Cattle will be without milk, Women without modesty, Men without valor. Conquests without a king... Woods without mast. Sea without produce... False judgements of old men. False precedents of lawyers, Every man a betrayer. Every son a reaver. The son will go to the bed of his father, The father will go to the bed of his son. Each his brother's brother−in−law. He will not seek any woman outside his house... An evil time, Son will deceive his father, Daughter will deceive...'"

Táin Bó Cúalnge:

"It is the same day that the Morrigan, daughter of Ernmas, came from the Sid, so that she was on the pillar in Temair Cuailnge, taking a warning to the Dun of Cualnge before the men of Ireland, and she began to speak to him, and 'Good, O wretched one, O Dun of Cualnge,' said the Morrigan, 'keep watch, for the men of Ireland have reached thee, and they will take thee to their camp unless thou keepest watch'; and she began to take a warning to him thus, and uttered her words on high."

"Cuchulainn saw a young woman coming towards him, with a dress of every colour on, and her form very excellent."

"'I will be a help to you. … I shall be more troublesome to you,' said she, 'when I come against you when you are in combat against the men. I will come in the form of an eel about your feet in the ford, so that you shall fall."

"I will drive the cattle on the ford to you, in the form of a grey she-wolf."

"I will come to you in the form of a hornless red heifer before the cattle. They will rush on you on the plains(?), and on the fords, and on the pools, and you will not see me before you."

"When Cuchulainn was in this great weariness, the Morrigan met him in the form of an old hag, and she blind and lame, milking a cow with three teats, and he asked her for a drink. She gave him milk from a teat. Then her head was healed so that it was whole. She gave the milk of the second teat, and her eye was whole; and gave the milk of the third teat, and her leg was whole. So that this was what he said about each thing of them, 'A doom of blessing on you,' said he. 'You told me,' said the Morrigan, 'I should not have healing from you for ever.' 'If I had known it was you,' said Cuchulainn, 'I would not have healed you ever.'"

Baking a brioche on a stormy afternoon. A slow living approach.

We had a stormy day last week. The weather was gloomy and it was really windy. I decided to bake a Brioche. Bread making is such a great activity to slow down, and brioche are such a decadent treat. 

Making brioche was really hard for me the first couple of times, and I wish I watched videos on how to make it. 

 Brioche makes wonderful food for any celebrations of the pagan year! You can adapt the recipe to your need and add the flavours and herbs. They are perfect for you feasts are they are the embodiment of the little luxuries, the little extra we enjoy on a celebration day! At the end, I give you some ideas to adapt the recipe to each of the sabbats!

Prep time: 40 min

Rest time: 1h30

Proving time in the fridge: a whole night

Cooking time: 25 to 30 min

Material needed:

A standing mixer with a hook or a hand mixer with hooks. If you don’t have any of those, you can mix by hand but it is going to get really messy and it is much longer.

Ingredients

2tsp dry yeast

4tbsp milk

1tbsp suger

250g plain flour

30g sugar

125g butter at room temperature

3+1 eggs at room temperature

1tbsp Cointreau or Rhum

Recipe

Activate the yeast by mixing 2 tsp of dry yeast with 4tbsp of luke warm milk and a tbsp of sugar. Mix well and let it rest for at least 15min. The yeast is activated when there is a fluffy foam on the top of the milk.

In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt and butter together until crumbly.

In a small bowl beat 3 eggs with a tbsp of Cointreau or Rhum.

Add the beaten eggs and the yeast to the crumbly dough.

Start mixing with the robot for at least 5 min. The dough is ready when it is smooth, silky and sticky (don’t worry about that)

First proving:

Cover the bowl with cling film and let the dough rest in a warm place. Near a radiator is really good or in the oven at minimal heat (no more than 30°C / 86°F). Let it rise for about 1h30 or when the volume has doubled. If there is a wind draft, the dough will never rise.

Second proving:

Once the first rising is done, punch the dough to remove the gaz accumulated. At this point the dough is really sticky and that’s normal, don’t be tempted to add more flour. Cover the bowl again and let it rest a full night in the fridge. The dough will rise a bit again.

The day after:

Pre heat the oven at 180°C/350°F

Sprinkle flour on your worktop and start rolling the dough in a large cylinder. Cut it in 3 equal parts.

Roll each part in a long sausage, then braid them together.

Beat one egg and spread it on the braided brioche with a brush. It will make the crust gold and shiny

Bake 25 to 30min at 180°C/350°F

A few important tips:

This dough has a lot of butter that make is very sticky. That’s why the nigh in the fridge is very important. It makes the dough hard enough to be manipulated. Try to work quickly so the dough stays cold.

If you don’t have room temperature butter, shred the butter with a cheese grater it will do just fine.

No alcohol? No problem! Try to perfume the brioche with vanilla or orange zest!

Sabbaths celebrations ideas:

Mabon - 20th-22nd September - Add some sliced apples to the dough before the first proving time

Samhain - 31st October - Add a tsp of pumpkin spices to the flour.

Yule - 20th-22nd December - Add orange zest and orange juice to the mix instead of the Cointreau

Imbolc - 1st February - Don’t change the recipe it is perfect for this celebration day!

Ostara - 20th-22nd March - CHOCOLATE! Add chocolate chips to the batter before mixing everything together

Beltane - 1st May - Use 30g of honey instead of sugar

Litha - 20th-22nd June - Again, you can use honey and also add oranges. Maybe brush a bit of orange marmalade when it is straight out of the oven

Lughnasadh - 31st July - Add Strawberries / Raspberries / Blueberries to the mix before the first proving time

☀️ Lemon Lavender Litha Cookie RECIPE! ☀️

This was highly requested so here we go! I hope you enjoy this recipe, and I also wish all of you a beautiful and bright Litha!

YOU WILL NEED:

• 1 cup room temperature butter

• 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar (regular sugar is fine, but powdered is recommended for a fluffier cookie)

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 cups flour (i actually ended up using around a 1/4th of a cup more, but it depends on how wet/dry your dough is)

• Splash of coconut milk

• 1 large lemon’s worth of zest

• Half a lemon squeezed

• 1 1/2 tbs dried lavender

Add your butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and zest to a large mixing bowl. Mix together until smooth.

Gradually add your flour. When it comes together, add in the lavender and kneed dough with your hands until all flour is combined. You’re looking for a soft, pliable dough that’s still moist but dry enough to roll.

Roll the dough into desired thickness, cut out your shapes (i did circles and stars, just because 😊). Bake these yummy cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom. Cool completely and serve with a glaze. I made my glaze with powdered sugar, lemon juice and concentrated lavender tea.

To make this magickal, it’s important to know the key ingredient correspondences!

Lavender is used for calmness, serenity, purification and rest.

Lemon can be used for sun and moon magick, happiness, aura purification, rejuvenation and longevity.

Feel free to add other herbs or spices to make this recipe unique to your practice!

I meditated a lot while making this recipe, and invited my deities to be with me while I worked. I put my personal intentions for rejuvenation, serenity and happiness for the upcoming summer months. I lit some candles, cast a circle before starting and spent some time really focusing on my desired outcome.

I hope you enjoy this Litha recipe! Have fun with it, and have a blessed sabbat ☀️

🌿🍊Litha Orange Honey Cake🍊🌿

Hello my greenies! Happy Litha! I hope you’re all enjoying the summer sun and nature. Even during quarantine, if you’re able to take a walk in nature without contact with others, I highly recommend doing so. If you’re unable to go outside, I recommend taking the time to bake and maybe listen to some nature sounds on youtube. Those have helped me during these times. I wish you all the best with this yummy cake! I hope you all like this recipe:)

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour

½ cup softened unsalted butter

2 eggs

1 ½ tsp. baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ cup granulated sugar

½ cup milk

½ tsp salt

¼ cup brown sugar

2 tbsp fresh orange juice

2/3 cup honey

1 tbsp vanilla extract

around a tbsp of orange zest

Optional Glaze

½ cup honey

¼ cup brown sugar

some lemon juice

juice of 4th of orange

couple pats of ground cinnamon

dash of vanilla

½ cup (maybe.. I never measure this out)sliced almonds

Mix until syrup state.

Directions

Preheat Oven for 350°F and coat pan with non-stick or other alternative. I honestly don’t know what size my pan is…so I’d say eyeball it and see how much you can fit? Lol

In medium bowl, mix dry ingredients (including the orange zest). Set that to the side while you mix the other ingredients in a larger bowl.  

Sift the dry ingredients into the bowl with the other ingredients in batches. So, sift a little in and mix then repeat that until all the dry ingredients are mixed in.

Pour the mixture into the pan and cook for about 28 to 35 minutes. Check with a long toothpick:3 After you take out you can pour over an optional syrup that I think is amazing!

There’s no particular chant I do for this recipe, I mostly just pray for the sun and for the health of those I care for. I like to visualize the sun and its heat and color wrapping me in an embrace and that same warmth infusing the cake.

I hope you call have a lovely Litha and special time with those you love a care for.

- Kenzie

Kipo meets Catra!!!! And Adora…

[witch0of0shaodws]

Making a home protection jar.

[witch0of0shaodws]

Home Protection Jar Spell

Ingredients I Used (i had them handy in my kitchen (mostly dried herbs) and in the garden! I only used small amounts of the herbs and spices because they are expensive and the spell isn’t for a long time!)

Oregano

Cumin Seed

Rosemary

Cinnamon

Thyme

3 Bay Leaves (one for each night I am home alone, although, i wouldn’t worry about the amount of bay leaves if you want the spell to last longer.)

Garlic Clove (If the spell is for a long time i would suggest garlic powder instead.)

Black Pepper Corn

Sea Salt (Plain salt works too!)

Crystals I Used (I didn’t put the crystals in the jar, but if you’re doing a home protection spell for a longer amount of time i suggest putting crystals in the jar (unless you’re short of cash for crystals, then simply placing them around the jar (after cleansing) when you’re not using them for other purposes is fine)

Dragon egg Quartz (on the top of the jar)

Rose Quartz

Clear Quartz

Smoky Quartz

Celenite

Amethyst

I’ve read from several sources that Black Tourmaline, Selenite and Citrine are also beneficial for protection!!! (i don’t have those crystals yet, but if you do, i highly recommend using them!!!)

Method

Cleanse the Jar (You can do this with incense (preferably sandalwood) or salt water, or however you like to cleanse things)

Draw home protection sigils on the bay leaves (i just used pre-made ones from the internet because i was too busy to create my own) and picture all the surrounding areas you want protected whilst you are drawing them (if you don’t want to draw on the leaves paper will suffice)

I Added the Sea salt first as a solid protection foundation (I don’t think it really matters when you add it though)

As you Add your Ingredients picture the surrounding areas you want to protect (and if you like to voice your spells say “this home is protected” as many times as you think is needed. If you like, say where you would like the protection to start, and end, for example “from the gates in my front garden to the hedges at the end of my back garden” I personally didn’t do this because i’m not much of a talker but it all works the same!)

Put your Jar in the main room of your house.

I placed my tiny jar in the middle of a pentagram too, because i felt it would give it more power over the house and surrounding areas (garden) and whether you want to use a pentagram is up to you! It’s not necessary! (I added my pentagram about half an hour after I’d completed the spell, and then re-completed it!) (if you want to use a pentagram but don’t have one, you can always print one out or draw one! it doesn’t have to be a masterpiece! :-)))

Place the crystals around the pentagram as you see fit! (all the while picturing the place you want to protect!)

Almost done! (or already done, if you’re okay just leaving it!) 

I felt weird leaving the jar to sit there without saying anything so i just said “So Mote It Be” (in a really weird voice because i was embarrassed (new witch here, okay!) Whether you say something is up to you! It doesn’t have to be that, but I  felt closing the spell with some words made it feel complete!

Thanks for reading! Have Fun!

“I will no longer be hurt by memories from my past.” ~Spell Jar~

Ingredients- 

Sage(Purity, Power)Clear Quartz(Clarity, Purification)Salt(Purification)Basil(Protection)Thyme(Healing)Black Salt(Banishment of Bad Memories)Rosemary(Ward Off Evil)Rose Petal(Self Love)Red String(To add power)

Description-

So, there’s no real need for steps on this one, you simply gather the ingredients and place them in the jar. You can also draw sigils, or say an incantation if you wish. I created this spell jar to help ward off bad memories from some trauma I experienced as a child, but it could be used for anything, and any memories you feel burdened by! You can place it by your bed, carry it around with you, and meditate with it whenever you feel burdened by those memories. (The picture featured a baby pentacle, my rose quartz, citrine, and some pretty dried marigold flowers I have!)

I hope this helped you all in some way, love you witchy babes!
