• The Cailleach: Scotland’s Ancient Winter Goddess of Power and Change

  

  The Cailleach is Scotland’s ancient winter goddess, embodying both creation and destruction. Depicted as a blue-skinned crone, she shapes the landscape while representing the harshness and nurturing aspects of winter. As spring approaches, her power fades, reflecting the cycle of transformation, chaos, and renewal seen throughout nature.
