In Irish mythology, Neman or Nemain (modern Irish: Neamhan,[1]Neamhain) is the spirit-woman or goddess who personifies the frenzied havoc of war. In the ancient texts where The Morrígan appears as a trio of goddesses — the three sisters who make up the Morrígna[2][3][4] — include Macha and Badb; Nemain is strongly associated with Badb with whom she shares a husband, Neit.[5] Nemain may be an aspect of Badb.[5]
