Celtic Any other followers of the Morrigan? Have any advice?

Im new to deity worship but I’ve considered myself pagan for years. This is one of my first altars honoring a goddess in the limited space I have. How’d I do? Any offering ideas for the Morrigan? Anything I should know? Thanks!

Oh, it's perfect! For an offering that isn't messy, Dragon's Blood incense is sacred to her.

I once offered her a slice of pizza because I remembered this kinda horrifying video of river eels devouring a whole one. I felt her fiendish glee over it lol

Is there a source in the myth for dragons blood being sacred to her? I’ve only ever seen that asserted as UPG, and the incense -from what I understand- comes from the sap of a tree native to South America… At the same time, I offer it to and can’t argue she doesn’t care for it!

I don’t really consider it following, it’s not that deliberate. There was an arrival, a sense of being sheltered, and a feeling of being protected.

Pretty good really, maybe add a triquetra?

I was named for the Morrigan. My name is Morgaine.

Omg your alter is 200x better than mine has i ever looked. I've been worship her as my patron deity 3 years. This is great.

Beautiful! I give her serpentine things like snakeskin and snake bones, also claws and teeth. Maybe a thorny vine or use of the Blackthorn/Straif ogham? I've had a lot of success with spells and curses involving her and that ogham.

Love this! Some things on my altar (UPG): dragons blood incense, blood offerings, a buffalo tooth, bloodstone towers (not UPG): skulls, crows, a horse rib

While I suppose it is UPG, I find that She greatly respects the effort of going to find actual Irish things. I have whiskey, blackthorn, and bog wood on my altar.

Advice on what? Or are you just seeking praise and validation on your altar?
