The Morrigue???

[Red Dragon]

:confused: I am considering some work with the triple goddess aspect known as the Morrigue. Who often appear in Welsh mythology as three ravens or crows. (or even in Shakespeare as the three witches in Macbeth)The problem is there are very diverse descriptions for this group. Can any of you shed any light on them? I understand them to be Macha, Badb, and Nemain, but, are they Maiden,Mother,Crone or three Crone Aspects?? I would be grateful for any help. :) from this diverse and obviously informed community.
Thanks

Hey, watch it, buddy, or I know a certain raven that'll bit you in the ... behind ... ;):D:)

[Red Dragon]

What just bite his behind?? :p I once saw a Raven teasing a wolf. The Raven was having the better of it I think. The Wolf was run in circles, and the Raven was obviously enjoying the sport... So as in life eh??? :D
Hee, Hee.

You know, on the grounds of ravens, according to Gypsy belief if a single raven cawed in your direction 3 times (no more, no less), then you were cursed.........

[Mairwen]

Then I must simply be blessed! Crows and Ravens caw at me all the time! :o)

I took teach a very limited class/lead a discussion on the Dark Ones, Mol, since there is interest. However, people will have to behave themselves, or I get to *WHACK!* them with my Yardstick. :D It's long been my experience that people are afraid of the Dark Gods, and therefore haven't taken the necessary effort/time to learn about them properly ~ or to know them personally. It's a shame; because by so doing, such people are missing out on a large part of life.
