This book was hard to get through, although it was elongated by needing to be returned to the library and sitting on the wait list again. I wanted more primary source myths and analysis and less personal anecdotes. Because it was the only book about the Morrigan available through my library, I slogged through. There was interesting information, but I felt it lacked depth overall.

Okay, I give up on this. I read, like, 50 pages and I just DON'T care.

A very good insight into the Celtic goddess who I previously knew nothing about. This book was well written and broke down the subject matter very nicely. I really like the history aspect of this book, the main reason behind picking it up, but it was a lot more. I love reading about individual experiences and thoughts on her as well.

I enjoyed this book. I loved the perspective of combining myth and folklore with magick workings. I do think it tended to be a little long winded in sections and I wish it had been organized a little differently - working with one story start to finish rather than by aspect of the goddess. It made it difficult to follow the threads of the different myths. The author has a beautiful understanding of the goddess that really comes through.

Since the start of covid I've notice an high rise of paganism, wiccan, spiritualism and vikings belief. Maybe it's always been there but it feels like it's become the the "new" way to believe in religion. I'm not very well learned in religion to start with and paganism and such felt like a daunting thing to learn about as I didn't know where to start so I'll start picking books at random.

I'm not interested in "working" with the Morrigan but I though this audiobook was very interesting and intriguing to learn more of. So much I had no clue about. Felt like listening to a fantasy book but make it non fiction
