Description

The Morrígan ("phantom queen") or Mórrígan ("great queen") (also known as Morrígu, Morríghan, Mor-Ríoghain, sometimes given in the plural as Morrígna) is a figure from Irish mythology who appears to have once been a goddess, although she is not explicitly referred to as such in the texts. The Morrigan is a goddess of battle, strife, and fertility . She sometimes appears in the form of a crow, flying above the warriors, and in the Ulster cycle she also takes the form of an eel, a wolf, and a cow. She is generally considered a war deity comparable with the Germanic Valkyries, although her association with cattle also suggests a role connected with fertility, wealth, and the land. source - Wikipedia Model - Photoxpress Background purchased

Very nice rendition! I've always thought she was at least somewhat analogous to the Norse Freya, as the crow (specifically the hooded crow which she was apparently associated with) was a bird associated with death and prophesy. AS for Cuchulain (sp?) when a goddess wants your phone number, give it to her!
