Patroness of priestesses and witches. She shares the duties of death with Cernunnos.

The Morrigan embodies all that is ferocious and terrifying about war. Her powers are great and her anger is a force that even the gods fear. A dark deity, the Morrigan’a aspect is that of an ancient crone with iron teeth and a great reaping scythe. She delights in visiting battle watching from above in the form of a great crow. She is a violent goddess, one who causes war and strife but whose powers can also end it- though only at a great price.
