The Gods and Their Croziers
@godsandcroziers@pagan.plus
A project to apply comparative mythology to Celtic-Christian Hagiography to undo the layers of "Interpretatio Christiana" that rendered the Celtic gods into Saints. Focusing mostly on the Irish saints and Gods, but with wider relevance to how we understand Celtic, Norse, Mediterranian, Ossetian, Iranian, and Indian traditions.

I hope ye like fresh #Morrigan Lore because I'm dropping some on Tuesday. I've found connections that expand the Mórrígan's incarnations and appearances dramatically, exhibit some of her symbolic relationships to other female gods and to the seasonal cycles, and show a whole emotional side of her that never gets light in her traditionally-understood appearances.
I'm excited to share them!
This builds on previous work that exhibited the Mórrígan's Maternal and Cosmic-Ocean sides, displayed by Saint Íta:

As promised: today's issue of The Gods and Their Croziers is my second issue on the #Morrigan. Like my first Mórrígan issue it's a mess of cross-identifications, cosmic thoughts, and speculations about the wider role of the Mórrígan outside "war".
It's built around an observation, that several fairs in areas associated with the #Mórrígan, and feast days of several local saint versions of her, are held at or near #Bealtaine / #Beltane
But, it leads to interesting observations that suggest further identifications for her throughout myth and folklore: from Clídna to Aífe to Crédhe of the Yellow Hair.
As ever: this is not ”all" the Mórrígan, and it's not counter to what we already knew.
