The Morrigan wears many faces and fills many roles. When I first began my journey with her, my focus was on personal battles and breaking down things I needed to let go of. Now, over twenty years later, much of my path with the Morrigan revolves around connecting to her as a goddess of prophecy. Wherever the Morrigan appears in her stories there are prophecies and omens.

Are you getting Witchy Update for the first time? If so, you may have signed up at PantheaCon, and we thank you for your interest. If you've never heard of PantheaCon, it's a great Pagan festival held indoors in San Jose, California - yes, in February it can get a little chilly even in San Jose! But I love it because it doesn't require me to sleep in a tent - I've always been a city girl at heart, no matter how much I love a good bonfire. Plus there were nearly 3,000 witches, pagans and mages in attendance, some 70 vendors (sparkly things!), and a mind-boggling list of presentations, concerts, rituals and activities. Llewellyn hosted a panel discussion (emceed by yours truly) called Ask ...
