Celtic Goddess of War

The Morrian was the Celtic Goddess of War and Battle.  I have her carved in Lime with hair stained in a Celtic red on a Black Oak panel with her name carved below in old Gaelic Mór-rígan.  The carved feather represents her ability as a shape shifter to transform into a jet black crow.  She was also known as the Crow Queen.

Every year I get to play with lots of chain saws for Husqvarna at the Ploughing Championships.  I like to do a couple of large pieces in the arena.  These were 2015’s.  The Morrigan and a Green Man.
