Hail to thee
Queen of blood soaked battle field
Of fight
Of flight
Of dark winged messenger
Sovereign Goddess of battle cries
Of clan
Of tribe
Of standing bloody but unbowed
Great Queen of crow
Of wild wolf
Of sacred calf
Of healing wounds with blood and milk
Phantom Queen of sisters three
Macha
Badb
Nemain
I call your names
I seek your blessings in challenges to come
I seek your blessings for fertile lands
I seek your blessings of strength and protection
I seek thee out
To stand by your side
Morrighan
Goddess of my battle cry
Morrighan
Hear me now my Queen
