Fàilte!
This
shall be a place to share thoughts and practices in serving the Gaelic
War Goddesses, primarily Badb, Macha and An Morrígan, whose name is
Anann; also Nemain and Fea; also known in various combinations as Bé
Néit.... I am keeping this focused on these Goddesses
collectively, as there is much overlap and often confusion about how
They might interelate.
In the near future I intend to publish an essay here on the War
Goddesses, which is itself derived from a larger manuscript I am
working on.
