Referring of course to the preChristian Gaelic belief in metempsychosis or reincarnation. In this time death was considered merely as a passing into a new life and of no consequence at all. Gaels were considered to have no fear of death whatsoever by Romans and Romano-British like St Patrick.
Which is why the Morrigan isn't such a gloomy spirit as appears in later legends. She counted the dead in battle rather like points in a basketball game.
Black crow, death's omen,
War queen, the mustering hosts
Vie for your favor
Love this, such a great image🖤
Flicker of a raven's eye
whistle of a speartip
the next life has come for you
Beautiful. This is such a perfect moment🖤

"In the chaos a crow flies" love this line. Yay for chaos!
Thank you! All hail chaos!
Corvus crows with split tongue to say
Charge ! A mass of winged warriors foray.
Fearless to fight. Erie delight.

" but if she is seen washing..."
Tide came in with Cheer
A Dove Wisked over the sea
Irish Spring bathes me
😂 Really incredible🖤
I took one I wrote a few weeks ago here and expanded it and put it up on my 'stack.
I read a similar poem years ago using soap brands. Can't find it. It was something like: "From Joy to Cheer to All..."
The equivalent of Ares/Mars in Greco-Roman mythology.
If that’s your measuring stick, sure.
Love it! Thanks for Irish perspective🖤
