Morrigan Silk Scarf

The Story

I have always been a little fixated on The Morrigán, the beautiful seductress, the triple war-goddess, shapeshifter and harbinger of doom. The same Morrigán who, in the guise of a black crow, drank the blood of the hero CúChulainn as he died slowly from his battle wounds tied to a stone pillar to hold him upright.
‘High up in my eyrie, I the sea-eagle Tuan, saw a huge raven plummet down onto the tent of Nuada. As it alighted on a tightly drawn hawser it spread out its wings, silver-blue in the moonlight, and I knew it for what it was. I watched it turn into a woman, it’s pale nakedness shrouded by dark hair. It was Morrigan, the crow of battle, beautiful war-witch, who had come to answer the anguished call of Nuada. As she entered Nuada’s tent my heart ached, for I remembered a time when I too was king and received pleasure and comfort from the same dark-haired woman who was my queen, but now lost to me forever.’
