5 Ways to Connect with Morgan Le Fey
Known by many names such as Morgana, Morgain, or Morgne, Morgan le Fey is often depicted as a villainouse sorceress in the Arthurian legends of Avalon. But there’s much more to her than the movies would have you believe!
In the mythology, Morgan is known as the half-sister of King Arthur. Many versions of the story portray her as a villainous figure, seeking to undermine Arthur and plotting the downfall of his kingdom. They show her as an evil witch, an enchantress, and a foil to the virtuous King Arthur.
However, Morgan is one of the many ancient pagan figures who was demonised in the middle ages, when witchcraft hysteria was at its peak. In Celtic mythology, Morgan is one of nine sisters who rule the ancient isle of Avalon. Le Fey – of the fae folk – tell us of her importance and connection with the fae and magic. She was known as a healer with compassion, a benevolent figure of mythology. But in the Arthurian legends she was painted as a villain (similarly to other strong female deities such as Lilith).
Recently, there has been more of a push to reclaim Morgan’s real personality and power. As a figure in witchcraft, Morgan is known for her innate magic, her ability to shape-shift, cast powerful spells, and harness the forces of nature. Her knowledge of herbal medicine and healing arts also sets her apart as a wise and mystical figure.
She’s associated with the element of water, and with the moon. These elements represent intuition, emotion, and transformation, reflecting Morgan’s own mysterious and enigmatic nature. By connecting with the energy of water and the moon, practitioners can tap into the depths of their own intuition and inner strength, much like Morgan le Fay herself.
Overall, the mythology of Morgan le Fay is rich with symbolism, mystery, and intrigue. Whether you see her as a fierce and independent woman defying conventions or a misunderstood healer and protector, there is no denying the power and allure of this captivating woman.
