Morrigan
Maybe many people remember this name from a old game, or some silly reference.
But originally The MorrÃgan ("phantom queen") or MórrÃgan ("great queen"), also written as MorrÃgu or in the plural as MorrÃgna, and spelt MorrÃghan or Mór-rÃoghain in Modern Irish, is a figure from Irish mythology who appears to have been considered a goddess, although she is not explicitly referred to as such in the texts.
The MorrÃgan is a goddess of battle, strife, and sovereignty. She sometimes appears in the form of a crow, flying above the warriors, and in the Ulster cycle she also takes the form of an eel, a wolf and a cow. She is generally considered a war deity comparable with the Germanic Valkyries.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
