Celtic religion & mythology

An illuminating exploration of Ireland's ancient dark goddess-the beloved ""phantom queen"" of the Celtic world-with practices for modern-day devotees.

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 ancientenjoying 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.

Reviews for The Morrigan: Celtic Goddess of Magick and Might

Courtney Weber blends a powerful mix of history, myth, magic, and personal journey with the Lady of Many Guises. Let her book help you answer the call of the Great Queen. --Christopher Penczak, co-founder of the Temple of Witchcraft and author of The Feast of the Morrighan and The Mighty Dead--Christopher Penczak Magick can arise from many things, but often the most profound magick comes from the places where raw emotions, life truths, heart illusions, and paradoxes meet. Courtney Weber's The Morrigan: Celtic Goddess of Magick and Might is genuinely personal yet universal in outlook, otherworldly, yet grounded, and filled with a terrible beauty. In other words, it is a true and faithful account of a journey there and back again to the realm of the Phantom Queen. The book is part scholarship, practical advice, personal sharing, tears, and humor, but most importantly it never forgets the reader is a companion in this journey. If you feel the Morrigan is waiting at the edges of your life, this book will serve you well. -Ivo Dominguez, Jr., author of Keys to Perception and Spirit Speak--Ivo Dominguez, Jr. At what point does a book go from being academic to being one of prose? Courtney Weber does it here with The Morrigan, one of the most exhilarating books to come out on one of the most complicated goddesses of the Celtic Realm. Inspiring, thought provoking, and a must read for anyone interested in this central goddess of European myth. --Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone, authors of Lifting the Veil: A Witches' Guide to Trance Prophecy, Drawing Down the Moon, and Ecstatic Ritual--Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone Within the pages of The Morrigan: Celtic Goddess of Magick and Might Ms. Weber has masterfully blended history, mythology, spell work and personal anecdotes into a book that beautifully explores the depth and breadth of The Great Queen and her associated goddesses. A must for neophyte to adept worshiper. --Amy Blackthorn, priestess of The Morrigan, and author of Blackthorn's Botanical Magic and Sacred Smoke--Amy Blackthorn 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--Morgan Daimler
