Subject: Warriors

He,he.. I noticed a while ago.. that the triple aspects of the warrior, or.. the three warrior sisters..are really all in the game.
Two guardians and a game title.

Macha, Badhbh Catha, and Mor-Rioghain. (or Morrigan (as in Wrath)which, of course, is pretty close to Morgan)

Boy, we're a gruesome lot aren't we?

According to my references, Macha has a fondness for severed heads. (gasp! Macha! I'd never guessed) She is also associated with twins and horses. (pronounced makh-uh.. and apparently means 'a pasture')

Badhbh Catha (that's me ;oD ) haunts the battlefields and flies around shrieking at the warriors.. then picks the corpses. (hey.. at least I keep thing's tidy) oh.. and that is in the form of a raven.
(pronounced bove catha and means 'raven')

Mor-rioghain (or Morrigan) also likes to keep things clean.. she takes the form of a weeping woman washing bloodstains from clothing. Known now-a-days as th e Washer of the Ford. She seems to be the head of the three sisters, as her name means Phantom Queen, or Great Queen.. and is often portrayed as a single entity with her sisters actually being her aspects. (pronounced more-ree-en)

Anway, I noticed that a while ago...thought I would mention it. And.. for those unfamiliar with these deities.. they are from Celtic religion and lore.

Ah well..
