Morrigan
This morning at my altar I had a rather, I would not say strange, but different occurrence.
It was about 9 degrees outside and I was sitting before my altar (which is outside) and was beginning my morning devotions. The temperature I guess would have bothered some people, but it really felt perfect. I realized when I walked into the area that things seemed a little different. About halfway through my devotion I looked up and a Crow was standing on the corner fence post. It never made a sound but sat there, very close and watched me the entire time. I just smiled but when I turned back to the Altar I thought I heard a female voice say “Use Me”. I looked for cats, as they all like to hang out at the Altar sometimes. Tom Cat and Lap cat had just left the area and there were no more over there. I looked up and the Crow was still looking at me. I finished my devotion, was walking away and looked back and the Crow jumped to the ground in front of my Altar.
A few things entered my mind, as I genuinely felt I was being given a sign of something. I have now just woke up from a nap (I worked midnights last night) and had a very strong dream of the Goddess Morrigan. She was trying to give me a Crow and said “use me” in the dream. We were standing by a river and she was just right in front of me. I have no explanation of how I knew it was her other than in my mind I stated her name.
Now this was too much of a coincidence. Grant you what happened this morning could have caused the dream, BUT…this morning Morrigan never entered my mind.
Any thoughts on what occurred? Was she wanting me to use HER or the Crow? How would I determine what purpose she wants me to use either? I have had interaction with things from the Gods/Goddesses to nature spirits and animals but I usually have a special connection to them and they show up. I have never really thought much about Morrigan and certainly not lately.
Would like opinions and insight if anyone has any.

“I like this page
about Morrigan. She can come to you as a crow as well. The crow can be thought of as a carrier of someone from darkness into light. Perhaps you have a battle and you will need to use the goddess’ help to emerge from the darkness it entails. Just one possible interpretation.”

“I don’t know what the message means. Sometimes I have dreams like that, though. In my case, it doesn’t always become clear exactly what it means, but the communication itself is sort of like a gift of power. …if that makes any sense at all.”

“The Morrighan, for me is about sticking up for yourself and your “tribe”, whoever you consider that to be. She’s a great help if you’re facing a life trial, and need some extra “oomph” to get through it. If you’re facing a big decision or problem, She’ll help you persevere. I try never to call on Her when I’m angry though, because she is a War Goddess!
Crows are also the keepers of sacred balance in several traditions, and are also a very magical bird, the color of night, but with a rainbow hidden in their feathers. They can also be harbringers of death, but again for me, that’s more a letting go of something inside me or a peice of my life I don’t need anymore, rather than an actual physical death.”
