27 Feb 2007	SkyDragon	Loading... Have you ever read DAnte's Inferno? tis good, but the point of saying that is that the Devil is represented as a man, with three heads and wings, but the wings are beneath the heads. Just checking- that was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this piccy. BTW, great job. I like your artwork! Sky

5 Oct 2008	Taz Magpye	Loading... No.. The Morrigan is a triple aspect Goddess as well and although is usually represented as three separate women rather than this triple aspect, I think a little artistic license is allowed. You can read more about the Morrigan here: http://www.shee-eire.com/Magic&Mythology/Gods&Goddess/Celtic/- Goddess/Morrigan/Factsheet1.htm
