Latest revision as of 21:02, 19 June 2019

A goddess of war in Celtic mythology. Also known as the goddess of the dead. Her hair is red, her clothes are crimson, and she gallops around the battlefield on a one-legged, blood-red horse. She is the goddess of horses, war, and sovereignty. She also symbolizes the red color of blood. Her name appears in countless legends, where she is also revered as a goddess of the harvest.

When Macha fought the demon king Balor, the great-grandfather of Cu Chulainn, she became entranced by Balor's evil eye and saw a vision of her husband's and family's demise. The shock was so great that her very heart was torn asunder, killing her.

Like Hecate, the Greek goddess who was represented by three aspects, the goddesses of victory and destruction, Morrigan and Nemain were held to be different aspects of Macha, forming one goddess with three aspects.

She is sometimes conflated with Macha, the king of horses ridden by the hero Cu Chulainn.
