I'm not saying I'm a witch of any renowned or that the birds and the trees or my ancestors are protecting me but...

I asked them to show me money I know I have I just can't see it and a lost HSA card was found with 3000 on it (benefits are through hubby so I don't know exactly what's happening and he's clueless about these things)

My Son in Law said some purposely spiteful things to me and now he says his throat feels like there's knives in it

Oh wait, I've also started greeting The Morrigan whenever I see or hear a crow. That last one seems like something she might do

Been making little witch ladder charms! Just two, so far, but they're simple and fun!

The newest one is for Loki and the other for the Morrigan! 🙏

Thinking of making more in the future and maybe selling them!

anybody have a copy of Courtney Weber's book about The Mórrígan? I'm out of town til Friday and away from my books, trying to help a friend with something and there's a specific funerary ritual in that book I really wanna send them and can't find it online

A bit of a life update:

I graduated college

I am now a licensed funeral director intern

I conducted my first few funerals/burials + have been meeting with families

I'm excelling at embalming! (Femoral girlie for life.)

The fire of Na Morrígna still courses through my bones, strong as ever. I realize now that I had to go through all of those trials, errors, and shadow work to unlock my true potential. Two years ago, I would've never thought I could have achieved my dreams. But still, She believed in me, gave me a second chance to unlock my strength, and guided me to where I needed to be.

In my heart, I always knew I was destined to aid the grieving, and provide the utmost dignity, care, and respect to their loved ones. It is an honor and sacred work. I am blessed to have this life.

“The Morrigan is arguably best known for her warrior form, and for good reason. In many of the Morrigan's most famous myths, the sisters play crucial roles in winning battles. They strategize with heroes, summon exhausted kings to rise, and attack with magick. They bring about victory when it seems impossible.”

Morrigan is Old Irish and likely means “Nightmare Queen.” Mórrígan and Mór-Ríoghain are later Irish versions that likely mean “Great Queen.” Other interpretations of her name include “Queen of Phantoms,” “Sea Queen,” or “Queen of the Slain.”

The Morrigan sisters by Naomi Cornock

[highestelf420]

"She is the spirit of fury and peace, power and destruction, joy and terror. She is warrior, queen, death omen, mother, murderer, lover, spy, conspirator, faery, shape-shifter, healer, and sometimes the living earth itself. A captivating contradiction: a demonic female who both haunts and heals; benevolent in one moment, ghastly the next, and kind the moment after that."
