Did Morrigan Have A Consort?
« on: May 24, 2013, 03:29:03 pm »
I'm confused about this. Did Morrigan have a consort? I would really like to understand this because one source says one thing and another source says another. Help would be appreciated.

As I understand it, Morrigan is independant and chooses those that may be worthy to be with her (the Dagda, CuChalain).  She is a goddess of Sovereignty over the land as well as self sovereignty.  IMO she doesn't 'need' a consort but chooses someone when wanted.

I don't claim to be an expert, but this fits well with my understanding

Aye, I believe there's a connection to Neit but that was more so to do with Nemain and Badb :)

Thanks for your comments. I do get really confused by the Morrigan.

I almost forgot about Neit!  The impression I have about the Morrigan though is that it's always been a relationship of equals and on her terms.  She's not one to be a whimpering little wallflower in the corner.  She's definitely one that's strong and independant and doesn't need a man to be 'complete/whole'.  Which is why I'm most attracted to her as a devotee.
