Title: Morrigan
The hooded crow, with its black and grey feathers and habit of feeding on carrion, was a symbol of death war and bloodshed in Celtic myth, and was associated with the goddess of war in various forms. In folklore the hooded crow was also an omen of death and was linked to the banshee, the fairy women who was heard keening at the death of members of certain Irish families. The hooded crow was also seen in folklore as a clever and wily bird.
The hooded crow’s habit of feeding on the bodies of the dead, and thus appearing to exult in blood and warfare, linked it to Irish was goddesses like Morrigan, Macha and Badhbh. These war goddesses appear frequently in Irish mythology . helping and protecting their warriors in battle by instilling fear in their enemies with this fearsome appearance and cries, and often taking on the appearance of a crow or a raven. For example in The Book Of Invasions Morrigan is described as “The Crow Of Battle” or Battle Crow and was said to sometimes fight her battles in the shape of a crow. The Morrigan most famously appears to the hero Cúchulainn in the legend The Cattle Raid Of Cooley to offer help in the battle. However after he scorned the help of a woman she warned him that she would oppose him in every way possible, and changed her appearance from a women in a red dress into a black crow before disappearing.
