the Morrigan

[Pan]

yes.. i have to admit.. i am DEATHLY afraid of the morrigan. i dunno why.. but just to think of her scares me.

i don't know too much about her. i can't bring myself to read about her, truthfully...

so.. i was wondering.. from all of you morrigan people out there.. what is there to fear?
:ugh:

Learning to deal with death, destruction, sudden change, "negative" feelings. Learning to tell people what you think, arguing with people when you disagree, telling people who but you off, finding out you don't need to be nice to people. Finding your own strength and realizing you don't need anyone's permission or blessing to be happy..

everything has one, and it seems( although I know nothing about her) That she is the dark. So in part it's not bad to fear her, fear her all you like. But fear shouldn't be the abcense of respect.

[Myst]

Yup.

Fear is good, it is a natural reaction to warn you that their might be danger. The importance is in handling it - admitting it and dealing with it. That's part of the Morrigan's teachings too.

Morrigan seems like a pretty cool gal!:D

i do respect the morrigan. truly.

i have been living for everyone but myself all of my life, and i guess i'm afraid of starting to live for myself.. i've never done that, you see. 8O

i guess what scares me most about the morrigan is.. well.. her. the way i envision her: flaming red hair, deep black eyes, pale white skin. even her clothing scares me. she always has some sort of weapon, too. i have always been interested in the darker side, not to mean evil or anything. and i think that ann moura's book 2 of green witchcraft will help me a lot.

i never really thought of why the morrigan frightened me so.. it's just always been that way. from reading about the goddess herself, to reading about morgana la fey in arthurian tales.. to anything associated with her at all.

but there is one thing that does not scare me about her... a friend of mine. she is basically in tune, i guess, to the morrigan. i love her to death. she is my wolfie-momma. :heartthro

i don't know what i would do without her, so i guess that the morrigan can't be all that bad. i dunno how long it will take me to work up enough courage to work with the morrigan.. but i think i will someday.

She's just sooo cool! She is such a lovely deity and a wonderful woman.

well, its understandable :)

when i first tried to get in touch with her, she DENIED access. then, i worked with her for mebbe a month and she always showed up with a face half ripped and gored. . . rather pretty actually. she gave me a way to rebirth people using astral blood magik and then wandered off when i got into more receptive earthy things. . . i still dont know what to make of her. except that i love ravens more than ever

but part of her aspect is also confusion and illusion on the battlefield. . . striking fear and chaos into the hearts of enemies as a boon to the side she's on
