The Morrigan, (from Wikipedia)
“The Morrígan is mainly associated with war and fate, especially with foretelling doom, death or victory in battle. In this role she often appears as a crow, the badb.[1] She incites warriors to battle and can help bring about victory over their enemies. The Morrígan encourages warriors to do brave deeds, strikes fear into their enemies, … She is most frequently seen as a goddess of battle and war and has also been seen as a manifestation of the earth- and sovereignty-goddess,[4][5] chiefly representing the goddess's role as guardian of the territory and its people.[6][7] “ (end quote)
There is an immense amount written about The Morrigan, many good books and many blog articles, as she is a very popular goddess, and rightly so. She is fierce, strong and takes no shit, which are much sought after and needed traits to have in today's world. But this is not all that she is. She is also wise, loving and, I would suspect able to view any given situation for what it is, rather than what we think it is.
With this piece I wanted to connect to her strong and protective aspects, as well as her wisdom and how she loves fiercely . She is ready for battle of course, but there is a calmness about her. At her feet offerings of swords, a shield and chalice with red gems. There is a bowl with water and of course candles. I like to think of these offerings as being left by those who are devoted to her, and are symbolic of that relationship that individuals have with her.
And as with all of my pieces in this collection, there is a small key, I create these fabric tapestries as magical and sacred doorways. They are energetically connected to the energy of the Deity that they depict. And itis up to you as to whether or not you will open that door.
The piece is 36 x 96cm (14.17 x 37.80 inches) and is hung on a bamboo pole with a black cotton cord. It is all fabric artwork and stitching. The original design is one of a kind, that is stamped with the artist's stamp and it is signed by the artist.
