Pagan Portals - Raven Goddess follows on from the author's earlier book, The Morrigan, to help the reader continue to get to know the Irish Goddess of war, battle, and prophecy with a particular focus on disentangling truth from common misconceptions. As the Morrigan has grown in popularity, understandings of who she was and is have shifted and become even more nebulous. Raven Goddess is intended to clarify some common points of confusion and help people go deeper in their study of the Morrigan and assist in nurturing a devotional relationship to her.
90% of this book is about diving into the ancient Irish texts of mythology surrounding the Morrigan, which I was already familiar with. In addition, theres a lot of repetitive material included throughout, which considering the book is less than 100 pages, seemed like a waste of space and information. There is only one chapter, roughly 8 pages long, that I found had some enlightening material. If a friend was asking me what to buy to learn more about the Morrigan, Id suggest they seek out a book by Stephanie Woodfield instead.
