Tuatha De Morrigan is a group that honors the Morrigan, the Irish Great Queen of battle and sovereignty. We are devotees, teachers, warriors, priests and priestesses, writers and ritualists. We come from many different Pagan and Polytheist paths and traditions, coming together to worship the Morrigan within a modern tradition.
We are dedicated to creating a culture of a Tribe and community. In Irish tuatha means “Tribe” or “People”. We seek to uphold the values of a modern tribe of devotees, honoring the unique skills of each individual, working together in devotion, while nourishing and strengthening one another on our spiritual paths.
Who is The Morrigan
The Morrigan is one of the Tuatha Dé Danann (The Irish Gods). Her name means “Great Queen” and is both a title given to the three sisters Anu, Macha and Badb, as well as a name for the goddess. She is associated with battle, death, as well as victory, sovereignty, shapeshifting and magic. She is well known for taking the shape of a raven or crow, often appearing over battlefields, giving or taking courage away from warriors. She is a shapeshifter, also appearing as a heifer, wolf or eel in her mythology. She is the sometimes wife of the Dagda, and is connected to the Irish hero Cúchulain.
