This shall be a place to share thoughts and practices in serving the Gaelic War Goddesses, primarily Badb, Macha and An Morr\u00edgan, whose name is Anand; as well as Nemain and Fea; known in various combinations as B\u00e9 N\u00e9it<\/em>….\u00a0 I am keeping this focused on these Goddesses collectively, as there is much overlap and often confusion about how They might interrelate.<\/p>\n

This project won’t be able to continue if I lose my home, this has been actual work, unpaid work. So you might want to consider a tip:<\/h3>\n
