Oracle: The Goddess Morrigan
Book: The Rite of Dana
By: Olivia Robertson

Invocation:
Holy Goddess Morrigan, Divine Maiden of the source of life, wife of the God Dagda, Goddess of full rivers, the Black Crow when the rivers divide, help us to face this initiation.

Oracle:
Dark and forbidding are the three mighty portals of the Underworld which you call earth! The Maiden sheds her blood to give birth. The Great Queen rules with severity and compassion. The Ancient One, the Black Crow, gives her life that her Daughter, the tributary, may share with her the onrush of life into the oceans of starry space.

So many of you in these days of luxury wish to enjoy ease and comfort, from youth to old age. You seek to cure all ills, provide yourself with food and shelter with little work, and above all, to escape from suffering.

But every stage in your life’s journey entails suffering. When you are young, you are tortured by unrequited love! When you are at the height of your powers, you are bitter at lack of success. What can be more dreadful, as you grow old, as the prospect of relegation to some easeful but boring institution, deprived of creativity, health and hope!

But if you submit to my rule, that of the Fates, you will have the benefit of my own experiences when I incarnate on earth. Your love will never be unrequited – because you love all. Your success is assured, because the only satisfaction you seek will be to enjoy the Divine reality all around you. As for old age – it will not exist for you. For with me you shall live joyfully in Tir na nOg, the Land of Everlasting Youth.
