The Morrigan: On Crow Goddesses
In recent years there has been a resurgence of worship of the Crow. It has become common to refer to all Crow goddesses as the Morrigan and to make sometimes unsubstantiated claims about what that name means. Now from our perspective the Morrigan is a specific Goddess described in the Ulster Cycle. This is not a generic title and appears only in the 8th or 9th Century of the Christian Era. That is not ancient, London was an old city before that name was written.
Behind that is an older worship of the Crow spirits. You can see it in Scandinavia and tribal Germany. But Crow Priestesses were a structural piece of Mithras worship before the Rise of the Cross and the Fall of the West.
The Ulster Cycle was written five hundred years after the last British Corvus Initiate went underground. There was the ritual initiation of the Corvii across the Roman Empire for centuries. We have no doubt that the Morrigan was there before the Ulster Cycle and we know the Morrigan is amongst us now.
