Do the Morrigan thang!

Well I never did! Said the crow. "Mmmm" said the raven. "Quick smart" said the owl. "Like some fodder!" Said the cow. "Hiss!" Went the snake up the path slithering away. "Why now brown cow?" Said the owl. "I wish I knew" the cow cried. " Mmmm" said the raven. "Where to?" Hissed the snake. "The future is bright, the future is now!" Laughed the ravens. "It's deep dark night, we must wait!" Warned the owl. "The peace of the night is with us" thanked the crow. "Well I never did!" Finished the crow.

And so goes the tale of the "Morrigan's Call" . Happy Halloween to One and all!

our Great Lady Morrigan

Our Great Lady Morrigan is a wonderful being! She's high, she fly, she doth keep the world nigh on heaven!
What can we do to honour Her in our lives! This is a very personal thing as all faith is!! However the time spent in quiet prayer is the most vital to truly honouring Her. Raven's are quiet beings that believe in Life being sacred! The ravens of Earth help to protect sacred sites indeed in my Druid Animal Oracle we find that there is a raven pictured overlooking the White Mount. This sacred site of Ancient Britain is now covered by another quite different place we know as the Tower of London and guess who appears there still, yes everyone dem ravens are still there!! It is said that if the ravens ever leave this place then England will fall. So love dem ravens!

There are many ways to honour Her in ritual and truly sacrificng of yourself is to let go of the nasty bits of your being that no longer serve you. It is this essence of sacrifice in the New age which allows us to peacefully make amends and "make a bad tiing good!" to quote Rastamouse! She is known as a Goddess of battle and I find that she will ever shine upon your life of a Warrior Lady.


As we nurture Our souls, another true aspect of this Lady, we see the way forward and with gusto we live in strength and mercy. We find that by fighting for what we believe in we know that everything will be alright.
Be strong, be powerful, be true to thine own heart!
How can we create a ritual to honour Her?
Well I feel this would always be a Crone moon event. The waning moon haTH specail powers of shedding the skins of last cycle of the moon and moving on to the days of new life.
Perhaps the snake could be linked to this Goddess for this very reason.
Animals and birds of strength and power are real blessings to the Morrigan!

We have spoken of The blessed Raven and as you can imagine Crows are just as sacred to Her. The dark mysterious birds that the Morrigan finds her allies are wonderful to see in nature. 
they bring news of good omens and wisdom we need for our lives.
Their foreboding presence can bring the happiness we seek and we learn to respect and honour their presence. 


The Morrigan's call

The Morrigan's Call



Many a moon ago I did a web search for "Raven" as a totem animal and that is when I first discovered the aspect of the Lady I call "The Morrigan". She looked wild and powerful and full of raven-y knowledge.
This attracted my attention straight away and the web site I found was a wonderful plethora of wisdom about Her! I discovered a hidden world which has remained in my soul ever since!
This aspect of the Great Goddess reaches you when you are ready to understand Her!
A beautiful and wild soul who lets her wisdom shine!
To know Raven totem is to know a quiet place of prayer, most importantly is to believe in your Own truth!
For after all it is your own truth that brings you wisdom!
A special little dittie I read once says:
Research is the daughter of Lore
Knowledge is the daughter of Research
Wisdom is the daughter of Knowledge

There is more to it but it escapes me right now!!
This dittie helps us to understand that to study is all well and good and builds on your personal knowledge of a subject, however to speak with true wisdom is to await the birth of the daughter of Knowledge, that being Wisdom. Quiet moments spent pondering life are perfect for such a moment of Eureka!

As we travel life's path of good nurtured souls, we meet like-minds to share with!
This treasure of Life is to truly find a way to share of your knowledge with wisdom.
Without wisdom all there is, is facts and figures, with true wisdom comes new intimate thoughts that are personal to you. Speak your Own truth is a teaching of a raven-y woman such as Our blessed Lady Morrigan.
