Celtic Lore & Spellcraft of the Dark Goddess: Invoking The Morrigan



I have been waiting for the release of Stephanie Woodfield's book on the dark goddess The Morrigan for some time now. The waiting is almost over. I have pre-ordered this book on my Kindle and will be able to read it on October 1st. A fitting date for this goddess of Samhain.I will be doing a review of this book when I am done reading, which I will begin doing the moment it appears on my Kindle.

For more information on Stephanie Woodfield you can visit her blog here. You can also find her on Facebook.

    I think I heard a golfer invoking a Morrigan on the golf course the other day.

    No, wait... that was a Mulligan.

    OK, I'm not a golfer. What or who is a Mulligan and how do you go about invoking it. LOL

    A Mulligan is like a second chance. I'm not sure how they're invoked, but I always hear the raised voices coming from the woods, so it must be a spell.

    Hi Justine

    I'm Welsh and German so anything celtic and nordic interests me. The Morrigan is very close to my heart so I think this book will be special to me.

    Morrigan was also the basis for the King Auther Legends...even before the french version..."la Morte de Authur" I look forward to your review.... The Doctor
    the word it gave me to type was "Hecate" with a "k" at the begining (instead of a"c" where it should have been)

    Hi Spookworks

    I have not read the Alchemest series yet, I'll have to give them a try.

    You never know what lesson Raven may be trying to teach you.

    Hi Dr. Theda


    The Morrigan is a very ancient figure and has many guises. I wouldn't be surprised if She has been the influence for many legends.

    I have seen Hekate spelled both ways, I prefer the k.
