“The Morrígan is an ancient Irish goddess of war, battle, prophecy, sovereignty, and otherworld power. While She was worshipped primarily in Iron Age Ireland, the earliest recorded mention of her dates back to 750 BC - however, this is widely believed to be a retelling of much older (oral) stories, and is simply the first time it was ever written down. The Morrígan’s name can be translated from Irish into both “Great Queen” (from Old Irish ‘mor’ meaning ‘great’ and ‘rigan’ meaning ‘queen’) and “Phantom Queen” as an alternate etymology. She is a shapeshifting goddess, often turning into one of her many forms in the ancient Irish literature; She has been known to shift into a crow or raven, a she-wolf, an eel, a cow, a horse, and both old and young women. She is a goddess that is deeply tied to both warfare and the land itself, offering a protective, tutelary role.
To get a better grasp of exactly who the Morrígan is, it is important that we distinguish who (and what) She is not. The Morrígan is often categorized as a trinity goddess, but She does not align with the modern pagan view of the “maiden, mother, and crone.” She has three aspects who are frequently depicted as “sisters” and often referred to as “The Daughters of Ernmas.” Together, they are collectively referred to as The Morrígan, or the Morrígna. There is also evidence that suggests The Morrígan herself is a stand alone entity.”

Lol. I thought this was from the Arthurian legend. And bought immediately. 
I was thinking of Morgana it turns out.

Sounds like maybe a Celtic version of the feminine trinity? Like Sarasvati, Lakshmi, and Parvati in the Hindu Pantheon.
Unfortunately, I have to pass on this one. But she is beautiful.

" The Morrígan is described as the envious wife of The Dagda"
A little excerpt from wikipedia. May be of interest to any owners of The Dagda NFT.
And then this
" She is associated with the banshee of later folklore."
While perhaps not proper cannon, brings to my mind Lydia from Teen Wolf. Quite an OP character in that show from what I remember.

Modern Practice
Since we are not engaged in the same activities as our ancient counterparts, The Morrígan’s role in our lives has necessarily adapted to hold a different meaning. Today, She teaches us the same lessons as She taught the warriors of old, but in a different context. She is a tutelary goddess and a goddess of sovereignty first and foremost, teaching us to fight and protect our sovereignty. She gives us strength to not only fight for our personal sovereignty, but to uphold the sovereignty of others and the land as well. She is a goddess of battle, and still aids in our battles today - this includes the physical, militant wars we fight and participate in, but it also includes the personal battles we fight within ourselves every single day.
