Morrigan is the formidable Celtic Goddess of transformation. A 'shape shifter' who's able to change her physical form at will, she is said to have learned magic from Merlin. Morrigan rules the great wheel of life, death and rebirth. A ruthless warrior and sorceress, she's fearless in the face of death and is often symbolised as a raven. She teaches women to accept and embrace their darker side, so it can be brought into the light to be transformed.
In ancient times Morrigan was seen as the Goddess of fate - deciding who lived and who died.

One of the many myths that are well know about Morrigan, is found in the stories of the Ulster Cycle, in the story, she falls in love with the warrior Cu Chulainn:
The Goddess Morrigan was in love with this warrior, and she tried to use her powers to draw Cu's inner strength. The first time she appeared to Cu Chulainn, she took the shape of a bull, and asked him to flee, but he didn't do it and keep going his way.
Again, she appeared to the warrior, but this time as an Eel, and tried to make him trip, to get more time and use her magic on him, but fail. And one more time she changed her shape, this time taking the form of a wolf, and scared the cattle to make him stop, failing.
Finally, she took the shape of an old woman, that was milking a cow,and it was that finally Cu Chuliann recognize her, and finally she gave the warrior three drinks of milk, making him stronger.
One day, Cu Chulainn, was riding his horse by the river, when he found Morrigan washing his armor, (which was consider a death omen). During the battle, Cu was wounded really bad, and when he was about to die, he tied himself on a stone to die in an upright position, and when a crow landed on his shoulder, everyone knew he died.
Some texts say that the Goddess Morrigan was one of the daughters of Ernimas, and that she was half-sister of Eire for their similarities (both are associate with fate and birth, and both were also shape-shifters). Another texts assumed that she was the partner of Dagda, leader of the Tuatha de Dannan.
The story of how Morrigan and Dagda met, says that he was on his way to see the Fomorian King, when she saw Morrigan, washing herself in the river Unius. They both look at each other eyes and felt in love, having sex at that place.
Once they were done, she told Dagda about the Fomorian's battle plans, even promised to bring forth the magicians of Ireland to help in the battle and defeat the King Indech. When the King died, Morrigan took two handfuls of the blood of his heart and kidneys of his valor, and deposit them in the Unius.
Another battles in which the Goddess Morrigan was of help, were against the Firbolgs at the First Battle of Magh Tuireadh and at the Second battle of Mag Tured, in which she fought by the side of the Tuatha de Danann warriors.
