In the Celtic Mythology Irish, Morrigan (or Morrigu ) means Grande Queen. Girl of Ernwas, of the Tuatha Die Danann, it is the Irish goddess of the war or more exactly, it is the warlike aspect of the Souveraineté or of died in Ireland. It is also known under the names of Bodb (Crow) or Macha (Flat). It is the wife of the god-druid the Dagda. She seems sometimes like a flight of three crows or a corbel. Like the other deities, it is only one misadventure of the large female goddess Brigit.

She moves on the battle fields in a red crew, on a tank guided by only one horse with a leg. During wars, it appears in various animal forms and to call upon it, croasser is needed. Inter alia capacities which are numerous, it can inspire the fear or courage with the warriors. Deaths with the combat are the “nipples of Morrigane”.

In the Táin Bó Cúailnge (the raid of the cows of Cooley), under the appearance of beautiful and young girl with the russet-red eyebrows, it tries to allure Cúchulainn, which refuses its advances. She threatens it under the aspect of various animals and, while it fights, she is rolled up around her thigh whereas she is eel. The hero demolishes himself some and wounds it. It is then absent from combat for a long moment, but when it returns to fight it appears to him for the last time as an young woman washing of the oozing skins of blood. It knows whereas its hour sounded.

Later, it is in crow that it attends the anguish of Cúchulainn, perched on its shoulder.
