About Our Name
Morrígan, the Phantom Queen, is a figure from Celtic mythology. She has many names, some of which include Morrígu, Morríghan, Mor-Ríoghain and Morrígna. She was the goddess of war, fertility and was often associated with the battlefield. She was also part of a triad of goddesses, which included Badb and Macha.
She is also rumoured to have had the ability to transform into a crow.
Mark Deniz, owner of the company, chose the name Morrigan because of his love of Celtic mythology, especially the darker side of the lore. His imagination was captured by the concept of a goddess of both love and war and thinks that the title, the Phantom Queen, inspires majestic imagery. |
