EPISODE ELEVEN : THE MORRIGAN

Send us Fan Mail

Welcome to Season 4 of the Irish Gothic Podcast.

In this episode, we explore The Morrígan, one of the most powerful and unsettling figures in Irish mythology.

Associated with war, fate, prophecy and death, The Morrígan appears across early Irish texts as a goddess, shapeshifter and omen of conflict. Often linked to crows and ravens, she moves between the battlefield and the supernatural, warning of bloodshed and influencing the fate of warriors and kings.

We look at the stories behind her legend, her connection to Cú Chulainn, and why The Morrígan still holds such a strong place in Irish folklore and modern culture.
