My Sacred Space

This is a small part of my sacred indoor space. This particular section is dedicated to the Morrigan, and at times Badb, Macha and Nemain. Sometimes they come together; sometimes they are one; sometimes they are separate beings. The skull reminds me of my… Continue Reading “My Sacred Space”
