Behind the teeth of nightmare there is knowledge.
Within the monster’s chambered heart is love.
Your fear can be a threshold to the sweetest wisdom,
Your mind a mirror of the earth.
Go in, go in, go in.

Morrigan Hymn #6
Sacred lover,
Your menstrual blood the wine of warriors,
Your breath that which shudders the earth into flower–
Come to me, proud queen,
And, quaking, I will accept your gifts.
Shrieking one, whispering one,
Bathe me in the bliss of knowing you.
Let me embrace you in the dew of dawn
So that I may smile at your perfect love.
Morrigan Hymn #5
Dark lady, you whisper in my ear.
Witch queen, you whisper:
Weave magic into the wind
And carry it to the far places.
Feel the lamia writhing in your blood.
At night she becomes your power.
Warrior queen, you whisper:
Bare your teeth and howl to the sky.
Let the land mold you
Into a glinting knife,
Ready to slice through greed
And banish the invaders.
Prophetess, you whisper:
Be shrewd and thoughtful.
Look to the far future.
Let the battle-frenzy take you
And let it fade like incense.
Lady, you speak for the rivers and meadows.
You speak for the spirits whose voices are soft.
You call to the thousand goddesses and say,
See, sisters, the world swells to reclaim itself.
This is my age, stripped bare by my anger,
Molded by my wisdom.
Lady, the world shivers around me,
Watchful and awake.
I will listen, O shadow.
Morrigan Hymn #4
O Angry Earth,
We have relinquished our claim to you.
How patient you were! How lovely your face, young maiden!
How many blessings you gave us!
Now, crone, your storm clouds roil
And your teeth are bared.
You prepare to expel us, your arrogant tenants,
In search of a new people
To be crowned your consort.
O Goddess, help us become that people.
Seep into our minds and hearts;
Fertilize the grass with the work of our hands.
Allow our bodies to become sacred things.
Help us love you once again.
Morrigan Hymn #3
Lady of Peace!
Lady of Power!
Lady of Sweetness!
Lady of Honey!
Lady of Bloodlust!
Lady of Entrails!
Lady of Agony!
Lady of Sorrow!
Terrible hag and beautiful maiden!
Carrion crow and life-giving cow!
Why would the Shapeshifter be only one thing?
Eel becomes wolf becomes heifer becomes raven.
Daughter becomes lover becomes warrior becomes god.
Does my body contain you, O goddess?
Can my mind comprehend you, old queen?
I see you in the grass that waves in the wind.
I know you in the quiet of my land and my heart.
Hymn to the Morrigan #2
Terrible Grandmother,
Black and Red Woman,
Let me drink your rage
Until it transforms me.
Let your fires cleanse me from my bowels to my skin
Until I know peace
From the ancient Earth
To the soaring Sky.
A Hymn to the Morrígan
O Morrígan,
You are an ancient power.
Before blade and bullet,
Before tooth and talon,
You were there, feeding the grass with blood.
O Queen,
Teach me to face my rage and sadness and shame
And mold them into weapons
That slice through delusion
From now until the end of things.
Help me walk in love and peace,
O lamenter of souls.
Let me look upon your face without fear.
So mote it be.
