Seed Talks: The Folklore of The Morrígan

She moves between crow and woman, eel and wolf. Morrígan is a shapeshifter, an omen of death and a goddess of battle who brought about the downfall of Ireland’s greatest hero. Known as the Great Queen, she is one of the oldest and strangest figures in Irish myth, a shaper of fate who guards the sovereignty of the land and decides who falls in war.

Dr Gillian Kenny follows the Morrígan through the sources, from the Táin to the battle of Mag Tuired and on to today. Come and meet the Morrígan, and consider who she was, who she has become, and why she still both attracts and unsettles.
