<b>The Morrigan: The Washer at the Ford</b>
From the Encyclopedia Mythica ([link] <i>During the Second Battle, the Morrigan "said she would go and destroy Indech son of De Domnann and 'deprive him of the blood of his heart and the kidneys of his valor', and she gave two handfuls of that blood to the hosts. When Indech later appeared in the battle, he was already doomed." (Rees 36) Compare this to the Washer at the Ford, another guise of the Morrigan. The Washer is usually to be found washing the clothes of men about to die in battle. In effect, she is choosing who will die. </i> My interpretation of The Morrigan: the Washer at the Ford.
