Morrigan Celtic Goddess of Destruction/Creation. Elaborated from an Epona plaque, this image depicts the Irish triple goddess: Ana, the fertility maiden; Badb, the boiling mother cauldron, producer of life; and Macha, the death-crone symbolized by the carrion-devouring raven. Oral tradition says the Celtic dying god Cu Chulainn was met by the beautiful chariot-mounted goddess with red eyes and cloak. She cursed him to death that his blood might fertilize the earth, then transformed herself into Badb Catha, the Raven of Battle who induces panic in warriors. The Morrigan evolved into Morgana Le Fay, sorceress of Arthurian legend. For a picture of the Chariot Plaque, see Epona. Also available: #PS-MRS 16" Morrigan, poured stone, Indoor/Outdoor $79
