The Morr�gan ("phantom queen") or M�rr�gan ("great queen"), also written as Morr�gu or in the plural as Morr�gna, and spelled Morr�ghan or M�r-r�oghain in Modern Irish, is a figure from Irish mythology. The primary themes associated with the Morr�gan are battle, strife, and sovereignty. She sometimes appears in the form of a crow, flying above the warriors, and in the Ulster Cycle she also takes the forms of an eel, a wolf and a cow. She is generally considered a war deity comparable with the Germanic Valkyries, although her association with a cow may also suggest a role connected with wealth and the land. She is often depicted as a trio of individuals, all sisters.[1][2][3] Although membership of the triad varies, the most common combination in modern sources is Badb, Macha and Nemain.[4] However the primary sources indicate a more likely triad of Badb, Macha and Anand; Anand is also given as an alternate name for Morrigu.[5] Other accounts name Fea and others.
