In
Goidelic mythology,
Badb ("raven") or in modern spelling
Badhbh was a goddess of war who took the form of
ravens, thus known as
Badb Catha ("battle raven"). She often caused confusion among soldiers to move the tide of battle to her favored side. Battlefields were called the land of Badb.
With Macha and Anann, she was part of a triumvirate of war goddesses.
