Samhain - The Morrigan ©2005-2007 staticgirl at deviantART

Last night I had a very intense meditation. Part of it took me to the Underworld - a place with which I have become very familiar over the past couple of years! - where I met the Morrighan - another very familiar occurrence. She handed me a sword and I found myself with black faery wings (she gave these to me the first time we met) and wearing warrior garb. She said to me: "REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!"

To explain the significance of all of this would require recounting numerous shamanic journeys and meditative experiences wherein I have appeared before the Morrighan, frolicked with my crow sisters, flown on black faery wings, wielded a magickal sword, met Pictish warrior tribesmen, and been blessed by my Fortrenn ancestors. But one thing that I believe was being made abundantly clear is that I have a duty to remember those from whom I come and the blessings and protection that I have received from a very powerful goddess. The Morrighan teaches women to find their own strength and one of her many roles is as protectress of her kin. She comes to those of us who need her.

Who am I? A chosen daughter of the Morrighan. A strong, fierce, capable woman. A force to be reckoned with. Sometimes I forget these things. Not any more!
