Morrigan Magick. 💙💙

The Morrigan is one of the triple goddesses in Celtic mythology. The crow symbolises the three Morrigu (aka Morrigan) sisters and especially Badb Morrigu (one of the sisters).

Her name (the Morrigan) means “Great Queen”, “Phantom Queen” or “Queen of Demons”. She is the Celtic goddess of war, fate and death and the patroness of retribution, night, magick, prophecy, priestesses and witches.

The Morrigan is known as the crow goddess as she would hover over battlefields in the form of a hooded crow or raven waiting to claim the dead.

She would also warn her folk of danger, and so became synonymous with death, fate, victory, fury and bloodshed.

I had been always thinking her third betrayal - the one for love - would be Jon - for Sansa, or the North or his family. But now I think it is going to be Missandei and Grey Worm. 

I had originally had it in my mind that one or both of them was going to die in last night’s episode. They were too pure, too in love, and planning for the future on this show is just about the surest sign that you are about to die. But now I realise they were laying the groundwork for something else.

Missandei and Grey Worm are the most loyal of D@ny’s subjects. They are more loyal than Tyrion, who no matter what he says has divided loyalties. More loyal than Varys, certainly. And even more loyal than Jorah - who though he loved her, had a mark on his record from the beginning of their relationship. 

Now that they both survived the Battle of Winterfell, I think they are both going to be looking towards the future. From Missandei’s conversation with Jon and Davos in Dragonstone, the Master’s comment to Grey Worm about still being a slave, and the conversation about them wanting to go to Naath, I think it is now pretty clear that them leaving IS going to be a problem. Their faith in D@ny will shake, because she will view this as the ultimate betrayal. 

She may value their counsel, she may value their lives, but she values loyalty above all else - and what you can do for her. All of the way she “loves” people is inherently selfish. That isn’t her fault, she hasn’t learned to love in any other way, which is truly tragic, but it doesn’t change the person she is today. 

I put “betray” in quotation marks because I think D@ny will view Missandei and Grey Worm wanting to leave as such, but it will be very clear to the GA that they are just two young people in love who have suffered far more than any person should have to, and they want to build a life together. They will see that Missandei was wrong, that D@ny would not give her a ship and send her on her way. 

I think her reaction to them, more than any Dance of Dragons, etc. will secure her place as one of the ultimate “villains”/antagonists.

The way she says a lesser woman would lose hope and a grater woman wouldn’t beg and be content But I’m me and I want someone to choose me..

Her last words are, "goodbye, family"
