#caliach

“The Caliach” (Old Woman) “is the creator and shaper of the land in Irish and Scottish mythology... she’s also a very fierce guardian and protector of the land... from the days where the cosmological force of the universe in these countries was female... You will not find the Caliach in the New Mexico deserts but you will find the ‘old woman’. There is always an old woman everywhere in every land if you are looking for her.” Via @sharonblackiemythmakings on the Future Primitive podcast
