!NEW ARTWORK! The Badb Catha (Battle Crow) is one of three iterations of war goddess collectively known as the Morrigna. The Morrigna are mentioned throughout Irish mythology and are said to foreshadow death and influence fate and the outcome of battles. The Battle Crow in particular is associated with striking fear and confusion in soldiers engaging in battle. The Morrigna are a prominent and terrifying motif in ancient Celtic mythology. Ravens and crows are prevalent throughout many ancient mythologies and are often associated with war, death, and premonition. This common theme across cultures is most likely because of Crows’ propensity for feasting on the dead flesh of fallen soldiers. However, another interesting theory indicates that these birds are so intelligent that they learned to recognize when a battle was about to begin from the formation of troops, etc, and then gather above/near the battlefield seemingly predicting the coming fighting and death. This is what gave them their seemingly prophetic abilities.

CATUBODUA (or Morrigan) my archetype goddess. ANDRASTE. "In dama huair ann ba rigan roisclethan ro alainn; Ocus in uair aill.. na baidb biraigh banghalis". ( At one momet she was a broad-eyed , Most beautiul queen,/ and another time a beaked, white-grey babd). The Celtic Mother Goddess - the Morrigan, was a triple goddess, appearing as a trinity consisting of Macha, Anann and the Babd. The Celts believed that the Band/war-goddess, or more accurately the mother goddess in her war mien, appeared to warriors slain battle in the form of a bird of prey, most often a crow or raven. Her presence was not only a symbol of imminent death, but also influence the outcome of battle. Most often she did this by appearing as a crow/raven flying overhead, and would either inspire fear or courage in the hearts of the warriors, or, in rare cases, join in the battle herself. The aspect of the goddess was known as the Cathubodua, battle-raveness which survived in later Celtic tradition as the Cathbhadhbh or Babhbh Chatha. #morrigan #moriggu #badb #andraste #catubodua #celtic #celticmythology #myths #religion #goddess #ravengoddess #raven #birdofpray #crow #legends #irish #balkans #tribes #thracian #gundestrup #cauldron #celts #ritual #metamorphosis #rebirth #ancient #wargoddess

My portrait of a character known as “The Morrígan.” The Morrígan is a really interesting and mysterious figure throughout the Irish mythological cycles. The Morrígan is mainly associated with war and fate, especially with foretelling doom, death or victory in battle. In this role she often appears as a crow, the badb. She incites warriors to battle and can help bring about victory over their enemies. The Morrígan encourages warriors to do brave deeds, strikes fear into their enemies, and is portrayed washing the bloodstained clothes of those fated to die. ➖ #celticmythology #irishmythology #celt #celtic #irish #ireland #morrigan #themorrigan #goddess #witch #wargoddess #valkyrie #norn #tuathadedanann #danu #fairy #faery #supernatural #raven #draw #drawing #sketch https://www.instagram.com/p/BzK4yGbnwn4/?igshid=18ryb52agejob
