An old Irish legend of Ulster tells of Macha, a mysterious woman rumoured to be magic, who was forced to run against the king’s horses while pregnant to pay for her husband’s crimes.
The pain she suffered caused her to cast a curse on the men of the town, who were said to suffer labour pains for nine decades following. She is often associated with Navan Fort in County Armagh, which are named after her.
Several figures called Macha appear in Irish Mythology and folklore, all believed to derive from the same goddess. She is said to be one of three sisters known as ‘the three morringa’. Like other sovereignty goddesses, Macha is associated with the land, fertility, kingship, war and horses.
