The Morrigan priestix that did my devotional tattoo had their vendor setup and gear trailer stolen, which also contained all the camping gear for their household and a second household they are close with.

Book Review The Book of the Great Queen by Morpheus Ravenna

Over all I found this book to be an excellent source of information for people just looking into Na Morrígu or people who are familiar with some basics but want to get more details. It is not as much geared towards those who are already deeply familiar with na Morrígu or Irish mythology.

Now, my one personal critique is that I feel Morpheus takes a few liberties when it comes to facts and their opinions/theories on different subjects. That is NOT to say that they do not present a well researched argument because they absolutely do, I just think that in a few instances throughout the book their own opinions or views overshadow alternative interpretations or emphases. An example, in the discussions on prophetic practice it is framed in a way that implies (in my opinion) that the Irish only experienced prophetic inspiration via dreams/sleep trances (again this is all backed up by solid research and information) but then goes on in the very next section to discuss Fedelma while neglecting to add that Fedelma's prophecy was given while apparently wide awake and without ceremony, implying additional ways which prophetic inspiration could be achieved. These are admittedly small, personal, nitpicky critiques, but they affected me so it felt necessary to note.

That being said this book is an excellent idea for those getting starting or wanting to sink their teeth more deeply into na Morrígu and will remain one of my 'recommended reading' books

I used some of the Christmas money I got from my Catholic family to buy myself the Ravenna book in hard cover and I have no regrets.

What is now dawning to our understanding is a truth that the ancients always knew: participation in life is participation in death.

...[O]ur sensory experiences of the Gods are not the Gods themselves, because They are inherently grander than our capacity to experience Them. Thus, the Gods as we know Them are something more like processes of encounter, rather than fixed forms. That is to say, the presence we experience is always a mask or manifestation of that God, shaped in such a way as to translate into our more limited consciousness and frame of reference.

Deep Polytheism: On the Agency and Sovereignty of the Gods – Polytheist.com

Keynote | Many Gods West 2015 by Morpheus Ravenna Good evening. Thanks for that welcome. What I want to talk with you about tonight is the agency and sovereignty of the Gods. This begins in understanding what Gods are, and how They are distinct from forms such as archetypes. Now, this may sound to you like I will be beating a dead horse here, or preaching to the choir; and it’s true that the differences between…
