Title: Morrigan's quiver
Post by: lostarrow on November 28, 2013, 05:18:26 pm
" Sweetpea " just turned seven! How many seven year old girls do you know that would ask their Daddy to make them this. She is a special girl , and I'm a lucky man to have such a wonderful daughter and friend to share this interest with. She was pretty specific about what she wanted after she saw my quiver. Took me a while to find the time but she was pretty happy with the results.

Is Morrigan your daughter's name? Beautiful Celt-Gaelic name and a beautiful quiver to match! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtOgFHdwZ3M

Yeah, they say that people suit or grow into their names. Morrigan (my daughter ) has always been fascinated in the most beautiful way with things that most would consider dark or creepy. For her , the perfect hike would end with finding some bones or the like. Her favorite birds are Ravens ( thus the beadwork on the fire bag). She asked If I could teach her how to throw a spear ,when she was 5 and the next thing I new she was throwing while running and then finishing off the cardboard box with some aggressive two handed thrusts while yelling that we were" going to be eating Mammoth tonight". For those unfamiliar with Celtic myth, Morrigan  is the goddess of war and death on the battlefield. She is symbolised by ravens.  We hadn't told her the meaning of her name until recently. She's just always been that way. Even with the Ravens. She isn't squeamish at all  with dead birds and animals ,and shows great respect and reverence for them. Something I've always  insisted on but never had to teach her.At the same time, she is the most loving ,sweet little girly girl you'll ever meet. She sees beauty in places overlooked by most ( very refreshing in our busy world) Thanks for listening to the babblings of a very proud father.

Very special quiver and sounds like a heck of special little girl too Arrowind. She'll be roaming the fields in style wearing that fine piece and probably be the envy of all her young friends. Enjoy your time together warriors. :)
