Much more under the cut:

Sunset bleeds where her altar lies,

Sun bows to shadow through ancient skies,

Her flame endures, though daylight dies.

Three lights are of Brighid: the light in the home, the light in the mind, the light of truth.

Hello! Would love some answers regarding this from those who are devotees of The Morrigan. I’ve been increasingly interested in Celtic deities, and I’ve been doing a lot of research about them lately.

Mostly I’ve been reading about Danu & Brigit, and I’ve only briefly looked into The Morrigan. Just some baseline research on who she is and watching videos by devotees of her’s on TikTok.

I thought I was going to be more interested in serving Brigit, but something interesting happened today. While I was leaving the store with my son strapped to my chest, a big black bird swooped right in front of my face. The bird couldn’t have been more that 6 inches from my face, and I was really surprised they didn’t hit my son.

Normally, I would have freaked out a little bit, but I was surprisingly calm when this happened. I didn’t even flinch. The bird landed gracefully a few feet away from me and just stood there. I kept walking, but I turned to look at them and it felt like the bird was eyeing me.

Now, I’m really not a bird expert by any means. I know it had to be a raven or a crow based on size and look, but I have a hard time making the distinction between the two.

My question is two-fold. For those who are knowledgeable about corvids, how can you tell the difference between a crow and a raven? Also, bonus question, is that normal behavior for one of these birds? Now, for those who are devotees of The Morrigan, do you think this was a sign from her? Is she possibly trying to reach me? It’s a very exciting prospect, and I would love to hear your thoughts!

They really get around, huh? 😅
