Medieval Irish Tales of The Morrigan by Vernon O'Rourke

Before modern books reimagined her, medieval Ireland told these tales. Ireland's most powerful goddess, war prophet, shape-shifter, sovereignty figure, comes to life in the first comprehensive collection of authentic medieval tales retold as the engaging stories they were meant to be. THE REAL MORRIGAN FROM 1,000-YEAR-OLD MANUSCRIPTS Every story in this collection comes from actual medieval Irish manuscripts: the Book of Leinster, the Book of the Dun Cow, and other treasured sources dating from the 11th-14th centuries. These are not modern spiritual guides, not contemporary fiction, not invented stories, these are the genuine tales that medieval Ireland preserved about their legendary war goddess. EIGHT COMPLETE TALES NEVER BEFORE COLLECTED Follow the Morrigan through her greatest moments: her fateful encounters with the hero Cú Chulainn, her sacred union with the Dagda before the great battle, her prophecies of victory and doom, her shape-shifting as crow and eel and wolf, her role in determining the fate of kingdoms and the destiny of heroes.
