Ffiona Morgan Obituary
11/21/1941 - 12/17/2020
Ffiona was Born Patricia Ann Orbean in Ceylon, Saskatchewan, Canada. She earned a BA in Psychology and Women's Studies at UC Santa Cruz in 1974 and an MA in Psychology, Social Science and Women's Studies from San Jose State in 1980.
During her years in Santa Cruz, Ffiona came out as a lesbian and began studying Women's Spirituality, which became her life's work. She brought Daughters of the Moon Tarot to life, led rituals as a Dianic High Priestess, taught astrology and tarot, wrote and published a lesbian cookbook and Goddess Spirituality books, consulted, and lectured worldwide. After moving to Eugene in 2006 she continued her creative and spiritual work, as well as her activism. Ffiona was a lifetime activist for Civil rights, the environment, LGBTQ+ rights, and actively campaigned for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Ffiona was passionate about sharing her knowledge and creativity. Her life offered many challenges, but she lived with determination, conviction, passion, and love. Ffiona is survived by her son Jeff Riddle, daughter Michelle Bailey and partner Andrew Bailey, grandson Shay Bailey, and many friends who miss her and wish her spirit a peaceful journey.

I was shocked to see that Ffiona has passed to the other side of the veil.
I had been working with Daughters of the Moon deck for years, loved it and, living in Austria, deeply wished it could be translated into German.
I ended up becoming Ffiona`s translator for the Daughters of the Moon Tarot by running into Ffiona, while she was selling the deck and cristal pendants on a Goddess Festival in California.
First I didn´t know it was her. But when I enthusiastically went on and on about this wonderful tarot, her grin became wider and wider - and suddenly I realized: "Are you Ffiona Morgan?", I asked in complete awe of this coincidence. She nodded, quite amused and invited me and my partner to her place in Sebastopol in California.
I remember an amazing time we spent with her, filled with laughter, talks, gazing into the starlit sky, sitting in her whirlpool; and of full moon rituals on the Pacific beach.
The result of this time with her was the German version of the DOM deck, published by Urania, a renowned publishing company for German speaking countries.
We also invited Ffiona to do workshops in Austria. She consented and quite a number of women were able to partake in her knowledge and wisdom.
Thank you, Ffiona Morgan, for everything that you shared with us!
Even if you are just a thought away on the other side of the veil - I am very sorry that I couldn´t thank you, while you were still around.
I do hope, that you will be back soon to help Mother Earth and all Her beings in Her time of transition, birthing Herself anew.
So I wish a merry meet and merry part and merry meet again, dear Wise Woman!

I'm so glad I got to know Ffiona at the Wild Women Coffee Club in Eugene. She was creative and artistic: she showed me her Tarot cards and beautiful jewelry she made and sold. We used to talk about going to London to march in that gay pride parade and about a trip to Greece to enjoy the isle of Lesbos and the women who gather there. Ffiona was adventurous, enthusiastic and ever the activist. I will always remember her spunk and her passion for building inclusive communities of women. I'm sorry she's gone. I will miss her.
