The Morrigan:
Badb, Macha and Anu
In one legend concerning the Morrigan, she appears to the hero Cuchulainn (son of the God Lugh) and offers her love to him. When he fails to recognize her and rejects her, the Morrigan is deeply wounded and informs Cuchulainn that she will hinder him while he is in battle. When Cuchulainn finally perishes, she settles on his shoulder in the form of a crow…the hero’s misfortune being that he never realized the feminine power of sovereignty that the Morrigan offered to him.
