Meeting the Great Queen the Irish Way

Episode 24: Meeting the Great Queen the Irish Way

A calm, practical entry point to right relationship with the Mórrígan using small daily actions - learn, experience, integrate - so the connection is real, respectful, and sustainable.

What this episode covers

Who the Mórrígan is in Irish terms: prophet‑poet, fighter, fixer, sorceress, sometimes sisters, shapeshifter, and the land’s sovereignty itself.
The building blocks model: learn, experience, integrate; the book’s chapter rhythm that keeps practice grounded and honest.
Right relationship: reciprocity, sovereignty, and ethics as the spine of a living relationship with the Great Queen.
Discernment basics: sometimes a crow is just a crow; use context, domain fit, and response planning instead of chasing signs.
Why ‘start small’ works: steady daily touchpoints outlast big, irregular rituals and grow real capacity over time.

Key takeaways

The Mórrígan is more than ‘war’; think prophecy, strategy, sorcery, and sovereignty, and the land itself, held together in one complex figure.
Keep it Irish: follow native sources and plain practices; avoid importing frameworks that bend the relationship away from context.
Right relationship is practical: offerings, order, and accountability matter more than dramatic experiences.
Discernment is a skill: ask domain fit, check context, and choose a response that aligns with sovereignty and ethics.
The steady signal is the practice itself; if nothing happens today, the offering was still received.

Five‑minute daily practice (from the episode)

Sit and breathe slowly for a count of four in and four out to settle the body.
Pour a small cup of clean water: ‘For the Great Queen, in respect and right relationship,’ and set it down.
Speak one sentence of intention naming a quality - courage, clarity, or sovereignty - for the day.
Read one paragraph or recall one line about her roles from the book and sit with it for one breath.
Write one line noting what you noticed and one small, sovereign action you’ll take today.

Starter altar and offerings

Keep it simple: a clean corner, a safe candle when appropriate, a cup of water, and regular tidying as an act of sovereignty.
Journal briefly, just one or two lines s enough, to track patterns without creating pressure or performance.

Discernment mini check

Domain fit: does the nudge relate to prophecy, challenge/courage, magic, or sovereignty, or is it free floating anxiety?
Context: did it follow prayer, practice, or study, giving the moment a clear relationship frame?
Response: choose one ethical action or line of speech that matches right relationship, rather than collecting signs.

Continuity and where this sits in the arc

Pairs naturally with earlier topics like ‘Building Right Relationship with the Morrigan’ and ‘How Do I Honour the Mórrígan?’ by offering a compact ‘start here’ pathway before deeper work.
Prepares listeners for future episodes on prophecy, sovereignty, and vows by establishing small, steady practice and source led framing.

Pick up The Morrigan, Ireland’s Goddess from a preferred bookseller, and if the work serves you, please leave a short review so others can find their start too.

Time‑saving recap

Do the five‑minute practice daily, keep offerings plain, note one line, and let steadiness do the heavy lifting.
