Ok, so today I woke up, and I could /feel/ something. I haven't done anything with Brighid in a few days, so I was thinking, today I need to do something for Brighid. But then I just had the feeling... maybe it's not Her. Maybe it's another god. So I sat down and meditated. Several things came to me, not all at once, but successively, and between each one there was a wait. I "saw" a moon once, there were two separate instances of the outline of a beak, a dark bird, a cat (one, briefly), and also something that I think was just my mind randomly making up shit (A girl with red hair was flying, then stopped, landed, and gave a sheepish look). And then, right at the end, there was a succession of three faces. There was a first, crying face, a second face which looked older and more malicious, and then the last was this SCARY UGLY OLD WOMAN FACE. I stopped then.

I was thinking that maybe it's the Morrigan, but I'm not sure because I've never done anything with the Morrigan before, and it could be some other goddess. Help me?

Those particular symbols could belong to a large number of goddesses. I'd recommend going back into meditation and asking who you're dealing with.

I second Lionrhod. All of the symbols you list are pretty common, and can be ascribed to several deities across all kinds of pantheons. Birds, cats, the moon, and three aspects are probably up there as top symbols that appear, actually.

As frustrating as it may be, being patient and open to any possibility is probably your best bet. Trying to reach out in meditation, asking for a name, or other signs, are what I would suggest.

I know that kind of thing can be annoying sometimes. There are still some deities I have had interactions with that I am not sure of their names a couple years later. One of my primary goddesses, actually, is still nameless (but in that case I think her name may be lost to history or is still undeciphered from linear A). But it is better to be open to that kind of mystery than prematurely ascribing a name.

I second the other two replies, but I also want to suggest something. The crone face you mentioned really makes me think of Hecate, but just a suggestion.
