—Morgan Daimler, author of Pagan Portals the Morrigan and Pagan Portals Gods and Goddesses of Ireland

"Weaving the powerful history and gorgeous mythology through an essential contextual lens, this book answers the questions of the enigmatic shape-shifter Goddess and leaves readers with the power to seek the answers of their own souls within the pages. The world needs The Morrigan now, perhaps more than ever. Therefore, it needs O'Brien, and their book, too."
—Courtney Weber, author of The Morrigan: Celtic Goddess of Magick and Might and Hekate: Goddess of Witches

"The Morrigan, Ireland's Goddess thoughtfully opens up the complex and endlessly intriguing figure of the Morrigan to a wider readership while honouring her own longstanding devotion to the goddess. This book is an extensive exploration of the Morrigan and Lora draws on her twenty-plus years of devotion to her, masterfully blending personal experiences, historical insights, and practical guidance. The book's hugely enjoyable and expert blending of historical context and mythology with practical exercises allows readers to engage authentically with this powerful and beloved goddess."

"What has long been missing is a guide to authentic connection, something that not only provides a solid academic base and comprehensive introduction to [The Morrigan's] story in the literature but one that offers guidance and practical exercises designed to foster a meaningful daily practice. Lora O'Brien has created just this in The Morrigan, Ireland's Goddess. The author's grasp of the complexities of the source material is impressive and thoughtful, and should be invaluable to anyone remotely interested in understanding this deity."
—Geraldine Moorkens Byrne, author of Draiocht Ceoil, The Sound of Magic in Irish Traditions (Moon Books)

"O'Brien's grasp of the ancient tales is firm and fierce, and her interpretations of the sources both folkloric and fervent. If you are looking for a kindly patroness to worship, flee this book; if you aim to live your religion day by day in close relationship with a timeless force of female super-nature, put yourself in O'Brien's hands and bow to the Morrigan."
—Lisa M. Bitel, Dean's Professor of Religion and Professor of Religion and History, USC

"The Morrigan, Ireland's Goddess combines academic research with the author's own personal beliefs and experiences...The author outlines who the Mórrígan is according to the medieval sources, highlighting to the reader that the material is not contemporary to a time of original native practices and how it was altered over time to suit the narrative of the period in which it was written. Understanding this will guide the reader to discover the Mórrígan for themselves. A self discovery of spirituality through the sources.
