This book is an offering of devotion, both to the Morrígan and her Sisters, and to the poetic tradition that holds their myths and texts. In these pages is presented a Litany of a hundred names and epithets of praise to the Daughters of Ernmas-the Irish war goddesses Morrígan, Macha, Badb, and Némain. Following the Litany, commentary on each of the epithets is provided, giving its context and background in the Irish source literature, as well as what the language of the epithet tells us about its meaning.
Reviews
This is an incredible work. 100 names of the Morrigna put into a devotional piece as well as lots of footnotes to put all of the names into their context in the lore. A perfect addition to your devotional practice.
