Is it anomalous to call the Morrígan a "great black crow"?

So last week I wrote a blog post about the Morrígan and depicted it as a great black crow in irish mythology. I showed it to my Birder Dad and he has pointed out, usually when people see what they think is a crow, or a deep black crow, they are looking a a member of the Corvid family, not the carrion crow regularly assciated with being a crow. Can anyone confirm this? Is it extremely rare for the carrion crow to show up here?

Brendan Myers has passed

I just wanted to let the community know that author Brendan Myers suddenly passed away yesterday after some heart troubles.

I will miss his posts on facebook, and I will cherish the books of his that I have purchased.

I'm certain that the Morrigan will have plenty to say to her warrior now that he's joined her on that side of the veil.

Are these signs or coincidences?

I only discovered the name of The Morrigan this morning. I’m sure I’ve heard it in passing but the first thing that came up on my FB feed this morning was this post that took me by surprise as I suddenly realised a pattern of events that have taken place recently. I want to know if anyone can offer any advice, words of wisdom or channeled info?

I’ve been going through a spiritual transformation these last few years, fostering a stronger relationship with witch craft that I had previously neglected due to becoming Christian in my teens despite it being a lifelong interest. I’ve had a number of deaths of close loved ones or friends around me losing loved ones that have been influential in my own spiritual practices and understanding of spirit.

More recently I decided to wear my Moldavite necklace to a work event where a new friend of mine who I’ve picked up is also alternative and interested in spirituality arrived dressed very distinctively dressed in a way that made me hyperfixated (AuDHD) on how crow-like their outfit was. I finally added them on Instagram to find a number of recent images of them dressed in a goth clown-like sort of fashion for some events.

That same day I had a sudden thought that humans experience of death is so startling to most normal people and that I’d like to think of or foster a way to help people through that transition. And suddenly became intensely interested in the idea of being a death doula - the title of which has come up once in the past most recently during another psychic reading in person, as a consideration.

Adding to this yesterday I caught view of a crow sitting in our driveway that stood out to me for some reason, I pondered the connection of death doula work and death, and crows and reached out to a friend to discuss if perhaps the Moldavite had some kind of influence on this. Immediately after which I opened Facebook to the first video on my feed playing the song “Why Not” by Hilary Duff- a song my late older brother quoted not infrequently as an ironic sort of philosophical joke. It felt like a distinct nod from him in some way.

So then this morning when I awoke from a long nights sleep of over 14 hours because I was so wrecked from the last few days, I awoke from a dream that featured my good high school friend Morgan - whom I don’t really talk to much anymore so seemed kind of random. To immediately open my Facebook to see the info about The Morrigan - that references an event I’ll be attending in a few weeks time. When it suddenly dawned on me that I think she had appeared to me in a dream many months ago, where this intimidating dark witchy but vaguely clown-like presence spoke to me. And I believe that was The Morrigan, and am now wondering if this is also connected in some way to my new work friend, given the crow and clown references…

So this is all a very long explanation of maybe a list of random coincidences that have some kind of significance but I’d love the feedback from others who have more experience with her or the ways she communicates.

I’m currently going through a period of great emotional transition, including feeling trapped in a job that is no longer serving me, but I need to ride out for a period to make sure I can receive any benefits I’m eligible for. Not to mention the transition in my faith life and the loss of my brother and one of me and my husbands best friends a few years ago (that triggered the awakening in the first place).

One more thing is a sudden discovery of a witchcraft store within 10 minutes of our house, named Crow and Cauldron that I found was another sign.

Anyway would love any kind of guidance or channeling or even just thoughts from others who are going through a similar period of transition. Let me know if I can clarify anything.
