The Powerful Ancient Goddess of Winter from Celtic Mythology

The Cailleach is at her most powerful during the winter months, bringing the cold weather, icy winds and snow with her. She is said to often ride a wolf across the sky, bringing the snow and riding the wolf through the lands crushing any signs of plant life. But she is also seen as the midwife for the dying year, keeping the seeds of new life safe and warm beneath the earth, caring for them throughout the winter months so that they may become new life in the spring.
