The Morrigan

A couple of months ago, I kept constantly hearing "Morrigan" in my head, I came to realise that perhaps she was trying to tell me something, so I sat down one day and began to write and this is what came from that:

I Am The Morrigan

I am the Morrigan. The Phantom Queen, the Great Queen and Queen of the Fae. Men fear me, for I also stand at the battle field and wait for those who have passed to come to me. I am seen as Death, as Fate and as a Demon Queen but that is not all of who I am. History has not been kind to my legend, but I must say I am not Morgan le Fay, I do not command demons and I do not collect souls out of spite or pleasure.

I am The Morrigan.

I am the Phantom Queen, Queen of the Fae, but I am also Patroness of Priestesses and Witches, a Goddess of Magick and Queen of the Witches. Those who follow the old ways, those of the Craft are my daughters, my legacy. My divinity and who I am shines through their magick, their power. When they look to a scrying mirror, crystal ball or tarot deck they will feel my power, my strength and my guidance. I transform energy into will; I help create renewal from death. As the water runs pure so does my strength.

On the night when the moon is dark, call to me. Drink a tea of Mugwort, burn Willow and look deep into your Obisidian crystal or scrying mirror and you will see me, you will hear me. My message will come to you and you will know it is me. So too will you know it is me when the Crow calls to you. Heed her well for she has something to tell you.

I am Queen, I am Goddess and I am Magick.

I am the Morrigan.

Litha Altar

Here is my Litha Altar, I added some dried herbs from my own garden - Wormwood and Lavender, both of my plants are growing spectaculary well - I have 4 lavender plants, I think they're lovely.

Halloween Altar

I don't usually celebrate Halloween but I thought this year I might give a little nod to one of the oldest Pagan holidays.

Beltane Altar

My Beltane Altar, isn't the cow just the cutest? I've been thinking about decorating my little broom there, maybe with some ribbons and dried herbs - I haven't decided yet.

Ostara Altar

I decided to have a little fun with this altar and popped a stuffed rabbit on it to symbolise the joy and fun of Ostara.

Long Time, No Post

It's been a long time since I've posted anything - since July. I haven't felt the need to write, which is unlike me but part of an overall situation of not knowing where to go and what to do. In the past 7 months I've changed a lot, there has been a feeling of not really being here, but now I am starting to explore that and find who I am. So now it is time to update and start exploring that part of me I feel is missing.

My Imbolc Altar

This is my Family Altar. I thought this time round I would keep it nice and simple. In the background is the Kitchen Witch's Creed I printed out for my Mum. We haven't hung it up yet but given that Imbolc is for the Goddess Brighid and she is a Hearth Goddess, it seemed appropriate to place this with the altar. The altar itself is sitting right next to the stove top, another ode to the hearth aspect.

It has 2 white church pillar candles, a purple scented taper and a rose scented square pillar. I love the little rose one, I got it from Cheap As Chips (with two other scents) they often have a great range of candles there. I also decorated it with my little cauldron, a besom, a little dragon and 2 white roses from the Garden.

It's a very simple altar, but I think it captures the mood of the Sabbat. I like my decorations to be simple and easy, I'm not one for flashy or overdone.

I'm still piecing together my personal altar but hopefully it will be completed in time.
