Re: Calling all Celtic witches, Druids, Recons or generally well-informed individuals
The Morrigna tripplet only appears in the Ulster Mythological cycle, and they appear as 3, sometimes even 4, different women, quite specific to themselves, and not in any maiden mother crone sort of way. In the Mythological cycle sometimes the names were used interchangable with the Morrighan, but for the most part again it was 4 names, not just 3, there are some interresting mental gymnastics (to borrow a phrase from Tyullan Penry...) which have to be done to shoehorn Morrighan into the wiccan form of triple goddess. Banba, Fodla, and Eriu, again were 3 different people, and none of them even remotely fit the maiden, mother, crone triad, the only one that even remotely works is Brighid, and I have not spent as much time studying her, as I have the Morrigna.
