Exploring the mystique and symbolism of one of Ireland's most enigmatic figures, The Ancient Irish Goddess of War delves into the Morrigan, a powerful deity from Irish mythology associated with battle, prophecy, and sovereignty.

Authored by W.M. Hennessey in 1870, this seminal work set the foundation for viewing the Morrigan as a war goddess, intertwining her character with themes of life, death, and fate. Hennessey examines folklore, historical texts, and oral traditions, shedding light on the Morrigan's complex role within the Celtic pantheon. This concise study is essential for understanding not only the Morrigan's duality as a protector and a destroyer but also her broader cultural impact on Irish mythology.

Hennessey's insights invite readers to contemplate the Morrigan's significance as a symbol of primal power and her enduring legacy within ancient Irish belief systems.
