The Morrighan - Power, Courage & Strength from the Celtic Spirit Oracle by Nicola McIntosh.
The Goddess of Death. As frightening as this sounds, The Morrighan may be one of our oldest Celtic goddesses and should really be seen as a keeper of death. She helps with the transformation. She is also seen as a healer and a triple goddess, due to many aspects of the Maiden, Mother and Crone.
I met her in a journey once and she was a gentle, caring being. Her message to me was this, as she drew what looked like a medicine wheel in the sand with the moon cycles around it: 'There is war within peace and peace within war. The two are interdependent like all cycles. Just like the yin yang. War is not to be feared, it is a natural part of life.'
The Morrighan comes into our lives when we really need some strength to make something happen. You know, when enough is enough. The power you get from that kind of situation is exactly what you need to propel you forward in your power to get what you need. This is a time to stand your ground, dig your heals in and be firm in what you desire. Go after what you want and don't let anything stand in your way.
The Morrighan shows us how to look at our Shadow Self. The aspects that we keep in the dark or are afraid to look at. She shows us that in the shadow lie our strengths, not our weaknesses.
The Morrighan also shows us that what we perceive to be a negative situation may be exactly what is needed to create peace or a desired outcome. Just like some forests need a fire to regenerate so too is death and destruction needed in our lives in some shape or form.
Death does not need to be a physical death, it can be an ending of some sort. Something that makes it final. If you face a situation you don't understand, say thank you for it. Why? Because it is in your life for a reason, a lesson, an ending. It's not until after the battle that we come to understand the gift it brings.
