 | | When Nuada was replaced by Lugh, Lugh became the king and Morrígu’s husband. |
| | Morrigu is the tribal goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann, just as every tuath had its own local goddess: Sinand of the Shannon, Matrona of the Marne, Aine of Cnoc Aine (Knockany), Teamuir of Tara, Tailltiu of Teltown, Macha of Ard-Macha (Armagh), Sequana of the Seine, and Brigantia of Brigantes. |
| | It is important to note that when Morrígu of the Tuatha Dé Danann takes her warrior form, she appears as a crow on the battlefields picking up the spirits of slain warriors and taking them to the heavenly realm beyond this world, such as Tír na nóg or Tír na mBeo. |
