Priesthood of The Morrigan

Used with permission
I am a pagan priest who works (exclusively) with an Irish deity called The Morrigan. She is a goddess of battle and war, prophecy, magic, sovereignty, change, and fate. Her nature is a complicated one, and every attempt to definitively understand her nature leads to a deeper labyrinth of nuance, identity, and complexity.
While I do not claim any sort of authority (as my priesthood calling is to a lifetime of service not to be a theocrat), and while academic knowledge of primary sources about The Morrigan beyond that of a grounded priest I will write my experiences, my insights as US pagan priest of an Irish deity, and plenty of unverified personal gnosis.
The Calling- My experience being called by Herself to serve her and eventually to serve my community
Visions- In dreams, on substances, and in deliberately invoked altered states of consciousness I have experienced Her as showing me visions. I will share those here as long as no one thinks I’m trying to shape a religion, change a deity, or relate anything more than a personal experience.
The Morrigan Mailbox- Write me questions through our CONTACT PAGE and pick the option “The Morrigan Mailbox” from the drop down menu, but please check first to see if your question has already been answered.
The Morrigan F.A.Q.- Specific questions that come up a lot (in person or through the mailbox).
And please check out the Disclaimers and Rules before commenting or writing.
