The Morrígan

The Morrígan was the Celtic goddess of war, life and death. A shape-shifter, she could appear in many different forms including a young woman, a crone, a child, or as a trio of sisters called Bodh, Macha and The Morrígan. As a war goddess she would appear in the form of a crow to warriors in battle and egg them on to great feats.
