...Badb Your blood stained lips twitch Consuming death To ingest all that has ended And carry it across the battle marred fields Bones rattling in solemn reverence Carry me forth from bitterness And remake me again in your fury. - Joey Morris Songs of Shades Vol. 5

The photographs for Phantom Queen were in dire need of overhaul. I considered shifting the scent range to something more obviously ethereal but in the end I like what this scent matrix does.

It evokes the Morrigan in her guise of phantom queen, wandering through the remnants of a battle.

Through churned earth, ash, smoke; The Morrigan wanders.

Or the ancient bonfires lit by the barrow side as wails of keening send the dead on to the other side.

Phantom Queen has energies of honouring The Morrigan especially Badb, as well as all the lessons of death She evokes.

The visualisations and energy behind Temple of the Phantom Queen included many places of Death - smoking battlefields marred by blood, the silent tombs under the earth, the dark space between thresholds...  It is the fire and earth by the barrow side as the dead are honoured and mourned in rituals by the setting Sun.

It is the Otherness on the air, offering a lulling and lilting state that wafts into the unconscious just before the shocking piercing scream of the Bean Sidhe is heard.

It is the calling of The Hooded Crow over the Battle field as the slain depart this world, blood soaks the Earth in offering, and everything changes once again...

Connecting to The Goddess Badb as an aspect of The Morrigan can seem daunting, and truly tests us as human beings, our resolve, our resilience, our honour. Badb in particular draws our shadows close so that we can overcome them, strengthening ourselves to all battles... those within, and those without. We must honour all Death cycles, our own, those that occur within this life's' incarnation, and physical death, as well as those ancestors of whom we are aware, and those of whom are forgotten.

How to use this powerful energy: ★ In rituals to work with or honour The Badb or The Morrigan as Phantom ★ For spells of endings, transitions or transformations - invoking a death cycle ★ Use to help you to recover from difficult life circumstances ★ Use when you need to realign with your power after grief ★ To use banefully as a last resort
