    About this audiobook

    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 ancient-enjoying 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.

      I listened to the audiobook and will look at the written copy for the spell ingredients.

      The book addresses the three facets of the Morrigan in myth and with interesting "doable" spell work. The book is worth the listen/read to simply know the difference between the Macha, Badb and Morrigan and how to work with each. It also weaves personal experience of the author and others in a wonderful way

      The readers voice is very pleasant, as well.
