Moogie, Squeak!, Akasha and Ominique were the founding members, and
joined together to form a new and different household. The name and symbols
of the house were chosen in honor of the
Morrigan, a war goddess of Irish legend. Her name and aspects were
used in order to inspire
women to be more active and terrifying in battle. As a goddess of war,
she is a symbol of the fact
that women can be strong, brave and talented fighters, and have a precedent
in history and legend of doing so. The household aspired to become a house
of active and fighting females who were willing
to train together and support each other as fighters, and to help and
encourage other women to do
so.
House Morrigan has endeavored to support women fighters in a variety
of ways. Its members strive
always to be a visible presence on the field, leaving no doubt that
women can and do compete in
Amtgard fighting. They have held fighter practices, sponsored women's
tourneys, and researched
and made available information about the history of women warriors.
