Morrigan Nightmare of the rebirth of the dead.

Morrigan
Dark and stormy full of dread
On the grey waters black of heart and dress of red.
Sullen feeling filled her soul
As the wind whipped up her dress and let fly her hair black as coal.
In the sky over head weaved her Raven broad of wing and sharp of eye
Black and shiny against a grey unholy sky.
Waters broke about her feet,
Icy cold, but to her sweet.
She is the rebirth of the dead
She is the one on which all darkness is fed.
Slowly as the thunder clashed
She turned to face me and an evil light in her eyes flashed.
Reaching out her hand to me
She gently cooed that she had come to set me free.
Relinquish all of you that is good, give in to me
Relax, release I am here to set you free.
No I screamed I will not bow to you, I am not such easy prey
Here I stand and here I shall stay
Do what ever you have come to do.
Angry now she motioned to her raven down,
He swooped at speed. So fast was he and noisy too.
His warning screech I did not heed
In he came with talons long and beak razor sharp on my face to feed.
That was how I lost my sight,
It was wrenched from me that dark grey night .
Still I was steadfast I stood my ground
Though her raven ripped at me and threw my flesh all around.
I would not give into the dead
I uttered every prayer I had ever said.
Finally in the cold light of dawn
I found myself on the shore lost and forlorn.
Pained and I could see no more.
On the grey waters black of heart and dress of red.
Sullen feeling filled her soul
As the wind whipped up her dress and let fly her hair black as coal.

I never heard that. It sounds like “Morgan” – now I know why I named that silly dog Morgan. She definitely was a nightmare at times.

She is a Celtic Goddess https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Morr%C3%ADgan

Thanks. The only goddess I pay attention to is me, which is probably why I was unaware of her. π

Well of course, I would expect nothing less from you ππ

This is excellent! Well done! You captured the heart of the warrior Queen. It is said that she shapeshifted into a crow and flew over the warriors on the battlefield. Some followed her into the otherworld and others lived to fight another day blessed by her strength and courage. β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ

They are in our blood, my father was from Dublin and so I have Celtic Blood in my veins and proud of it π

Yes, I agree. I do want to get my DNA tested to see where I come from. From what I know, itβs Russian. Interesting how my mother gave me an Irish first name. She passed when I was 3. I know nothing of her family. β€οΈ

Oh! That’s a shame isn’t it. She gave you the best girl’s name it means girl .πΉππ
Nov 20, 2019 @ 17:28:51
Right? I’ve always wondered why she liked the name. π
Nov 20, 2019 @ 18:17:52
It is Irish for, girl, girlie, maid and maiden π
