This gorgeous goddess is my twist on the Cailleach!
The Cailleach is a crone goddess, usually depicted dressed entirely in grey with a dun-coloured plaid wrapped around her shoulders. In many depictions, her face is wan and blue, like that of a corpse, and her hair is long and white and speckled with frost.
However, I chose to create a more youthful and beautiful version of her!
This stunner has long white and silver hair, frosty antlers, and a mossy crown. She carries a staff topped with a clear crystal point and a highly vibrational angel aura quartz inside a mossy acorn cap, ❄️✨️🪄
The Cailleach goes by many different names, such as:
Blue Hag of Winter
Bone Mother
Woman of Stones
Cailleach Nollaig (the Christmas old wife)
Cailleach Mhor Nam Fiadh (the great old woman of the deer)
Despite the many variations of her name and excepting a few area-specific tweaks to her story, the myths surrounding her consistently focus on her four main aspects: bringer of winter, weather witch, goddess of destruction, and goddess of creation.
Her most prominent characteristic is that of the winter goddess, ushering in the cold and dark winter months at Samhain, the Celtic festival from which our Halloween celebrations originate, and maintaining the cold until Imbolc, the Celtic festival of growth and renewal which is now widely marked in America as Groundhog Day. ✨️🪄❄️
She was lovingly handmade by me using floral wire, yarn, felt, trim, sari silk, and dried moss, preserved juniper and evergreen, and will make the perfect addition to your holiday mantel or Yule altar. She measures around 12" tall with her shimmering antlers.
