genuinely one of the saddest parts of this new era of the internet is how hard it is to rick roll someone now. with people's attention spans shortening so much, they wouldn't even get through the first few bait seconds before clicking off the video. like i saw a comment that ended with "btw i made all of this up" and the replies kept treating it so seriously because none of them finished the entire 4 sentence comment. and We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I (do I) A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

[mysweetoddbird]

they should invent a lying down that doesnt hurt so so bad.

[eldritchxxxbabe]

The number of friends I've had in straight relationships where the guy outright refused to touch her if she didn't shave her pubes. Fellas this is beyond embarrassing it is outright misogyny and abusive coercion over someone else's body. Get the fuck over yourselves and embrace bush or perish.

[eldritchxxxbabe]

If he can't appreciate the bush he doesn't deserve to smush. If he hates hairy pits don't show him your tits. If he can't handle fuzzy legs deny him until he begs.

DID YOU KNOW THIS APPLIES TO TRANS WOMEN? DID YOU KNOW THAT SHAVING ISN'T PROOF OF FEMININITY? DO YOU BEHAVE ABOUT TRANS WOMEN WITH HAIRY BODIES? HM?

shopping in an unfamiliar grocery store instead of your usual is literally a survival horror

[normal-horoscopes]

Liminal Space: A place of motion and transition. Doorways, arches, gates, crossroads, rest stops on the highway. Borders and roads. Places where the veil is thin.

Proximal Space: "This Side" of the Liminal Space. Comfy bedrooms. Your home town. Holy spaces. Kitchens. Places where the veil is thick.

Distal Space: "Far Side" of the Liminal Space. Frontiers. Destinations. The wilderness, the grave. An amusement park. A mall. A ghost town. A monument. Places where the veil is deep.

Crows, Bones, and Crones - The Morrigan; The Phantom Queen

An Educational post of The Morrigan

As with a lot of the Celtic gods, I find it hard to find good information on The Morrigan. So I've decided to make this post for her!

Links will be provided as I do advocate that you do your own research.

Who is The Morrigan?

The Morrigan is known to many as the Triple Goddess of Death, The Phantom Queen, The Great Goddess, Great Queen, etc. Calling The Morrigan as one entity is similar to how Christians believe in the Father, the Son, and The Holy Spirit. She is three sisters and yet she is one goddess. It's ok if it is hard for you to grasp, humans weren't meant to understand gods.

(Known mostly in Irish mythology, there have been other figures in various Celtic mythology that are similar to her such as Morgan Le Fey.)

Etymology:

The name Morrigan, or Morrigu, is the anglicized of the Gaelic name Mór-Ríoghain, which means "Great Queen" in modern Irish.

The old name has been linked to the proto-indo-european word Mór (terror) and Ríoghain could relate to the Latin word Regina (queen). This is not fact, just speculation.

Skills and Strengths:

While gifted in many things, she is most known for her roles in battles, fate, and death.

Weapons:

Magic is seen to be her most used form of fighting. This includes shapeshifting, raining blood on her enemies, and more.

Symbols:

Inverted Triangle

Triple Spiral

Snake Coils

Owls

Crows and Ravens

Vultures

Faerie Rings

Fae

Holy Days: Samhain is a popular holiday for The Morrigan due to her significance with death.

Family:

It's not entirely known who her family is, though many believe her to be the wife or lover of the Dagda.

Siblings have included Ériu, Banba, and Fódla, who make up the triple goddess of spirit and sovereignty of Ireland.

Badb and Macha (or sometimes Neiman) who, along with the Morrigan, make up the triple goddess of war.

As well as the Glon, Gnim, Coscar, Fiacha, and Ollom, her brothers.

What is known is that she is the daughter(s) of Ernmas.

First Appearance

Sadly, not much is known for sure about this Great Queen. She first appears in Lebor Gabála Érenn (The book of invasions) which talks about the migration of the Tuatha Dé Danann to Ireland.

The earlier inhabitants, the Firbolg and the Fomorians, of the island didn't like the presence of these new beings and they found themselves at war, first with the Firbolg. Though the battle was hard and lives were lost (such as Ernmas, her mother) the Tuatha emerged victorious.

Later the new god of the Tuatha Dé Danann, Lugh asked the Morrigan for a prediction about the conflict arising between them and the Fomorians. She predicted that they would go to war.

Later her husband, the Dagda, would ask for a stronger prediction of this war to which she replied that though they would win the war, a terrible price would be paid. She also foretold that she would kill the Fomorian king Indech and bring fistfulls of his blood to the River Unshin.

The battle with the Fomorians ended with a poem from the Morrigan.

Ulster Cycle

The Goddess would also appear many times in the Ulster Cycle, a series of Old Irish myths and legends.

She appeared in the story with Cú Chulainn and after a series of events and his own foolishness, she prophesizes his death.

Later, as he is dying, Cú Chulainn ties himself to a stone with his entrails so that he can die standing up. Only once a crow has landed on his should do his enemies actually believe his is dead.

You can guess who the crow was.

Goddess of Death

Most widely know as the Goddess of Death, this title alone does not describe her. She was widely worshipped as being a goddess of earth and sovereignty.

It has been said that her breasts create the he hills in County Kerry called Da Chich Annan.

Author's Notes:

I wish there was more material I could offer here. Sadly there is so little written works left from ancient Ireland that have been found. This is just a run-down on the goddess and what you may need to know if you're looking into her.

If you have any links or texts that are credible that you would like to add, please let me know.
