I just found this piece on Epilogue.net.
The official title is "The High Priestess" -- but to me she looks much more like a Queen of Swords.

The specifics of her look are wrong for Ereshkigal, but the energy is very similar. I'd say she was probably closer to the Morrigan. . .

Artist is Vance Kelly.






Hmmm. . . I was so focused on her ravens that I didn't notice the black goat until just now.

Sheep go to heaven...

Well, YMMV, but I'd opine this isn't An Morrígan, because she has a sword, and she doesn't tend to use weapons...

I can't think of a goat-associated goddess off the top of my head...

But, it is a striking image, most certainly!

I confess to not knowing much at all about the Morrigan. I was keying on the ravens.

I suspect that the artist simply combined a series of motifs he found potent, then gave it a title he felt would fit.

Looks like Hecate to me. But my Hellenic is showing.

Evidently I have a block about goats! I had to study the picture for a while to see the second one!

she reminds me of a caucasian Maman Brigitte, who adores goats

Wow, stunning pic! And I didn't see either of the goats either until I read the other comments.

She seems much more like the Queen of Swords than the High Priestess. And Artemis keeps coming to mind...
