The Morrigan is often depicted shape-shifting into a raven/crow, or else wearing attire crafted from raven feathers. The MorrĂgan is a goddess of battle, strife, and sovereignty from the Irish mythology. She sometimes appears in the form of a crow, flying above the warriors Taking the form of the death raven announcing death, or the banshee predicting it with shrieks.
