Oh yes, The Morrigan. Ive heard a lot about her but never really read that much about her. She sounds like a really interesting dark goddess though. 8)

I think two of my favorite Celtic Goddesses are Brigid who reminds me of Hestia/Vesta in many ways (Goddess of the Fire who forges steel and protects domestic animals) and Epona the Goddess of Horses.

Have recently discovered a new favorite Naughty Goddess who reminds me of Lady Lilith.

Her name is Eris, the Goddess of Chaos who was hated and feared by everyone in Greece. She literally had no temples dedicated to her (much like the Sumerian Lamashtu or Egyptian Ammit) and was said to be responsible for causing the Trojan War when she tossed a golden apple before the goddesses Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite after they refused to invite her to a wedding.

She must have coined the saying "How 'bout dem apples?" :mrgreen:
