At the Edge of Shadows: Myth, Ritual, and Reflection for October’s Descent with The Morrígan

As the nights lengthen and the veil between worlds thins, we gather with The Morrígan — Celtic goddess of prophecy, sovereignty, and the mysteries of death and rebirth. She is the crow perched in the trees, the voice at the crossroads, the dark current that invites us to release what has run its course and reclaim the truth of our own power.

This class is an invitation to honor Samhain, the threshold season when endings are clear and unavoidable, yet within them stir the quiet seeds of renewal. The Morrígan reminds us that decay is not destruction, but transformation — that stepping into our sovereignty asks us to let go of what no longer serves us.

Her guidance is fierce and uncompromising, yet deeply protective. She teaches us to walk with the shadows, not with fear, but with courage — trusting them as guides toward clarity and strength. Unlike the slow, gentle alchemy of Cerridwen, The Morrígan’s lessons are sharp, direct, and uncompromising: transformation asks that we meet the unknown, find our courage, and fully step into our power.

Through story, reflection, and practice, we will explore her wisdom — walking alongside endings, listening for her messages in the natural world, and discovering the strength that arises in release. Let her call guide you into transformation, sovereignty, and the profound clarity waiting beyond the threshold.

Your Invitation

As the Wheel of the Year turns toward Samhain, we stand in the space between the living and the ancestral, between what has been and what is yet to come. The Morrígan beckons us into this liminal moment, to listen for crow wings in the dusk, to let the old die with grace, and to step forward with courage into the unknown.

You will be invited to:

• Explore The Morrígan’s myths and her role as guide at the threshold of endings and beginnings

• Reflect and journal on what must be released to walk more fully in your truth and sovereignty

• Work with October’s plant allies (such as yew, hawthorn, mugwort, and blackthorn) for protection, vision, and courage

• Listen for The Morrígan’s presence in nature — the shifting flocks of birds, the withering fields, the whisper of dusk winds

• Learn about rituals of release and claiming, honoring both what is falling away and what new strength is arising within you

Why Morrígan, Why Now

At Samhain, the final harvest, the earth lays bare her bones. The fields are emptied, the trees stripped, the nights deepened. The Morrígan walks with us here, showing that endings are not to be feared, but met with reverence. She teaches us that sovereignty begins when we shed what no longer serves, when we listen to the dark for guidance, and when we dare to claim the fullness of our becoming.

Her presence in October is both fierce and deeply compassionate — reminding us that release is not weakness, but power; that shadow is not absence, but wisdom; that death is not the end, but part of the eternal cycle.
