Page "The Morrígan" Paragraph 10

The first three daughters of Ernmas are given as Ériu, Banba, and Fódla.

Their names are synonyms for Ireland, and they were married to Mac Cuill, Mac Cécht, and Mac Gréine, the last three Tuatha Dé Danann kings of Ireland.

Associated with the land and kingship, they probably represent a triple goddess of sovereignty.

Next come Ernmas's other three daughters: Badb, Macha, and the Morrígan.

A quatrain describes the three as wealthy, " springs of craftiness " and " sources of bitter fighting ".

The Morrígan's name is also said to be Anand, and she had three sons, Glon, Gaim, and Coscar.

According to Geoffrey Keating's 17th century History of Ireland, Ériu, Banba, and Fódla worshipped Badb, Macha, and the Morrígan respectively.
