The Cailleach: Winter Goddess of Ancestors & Midwife of the Dying Year

The Cailleach, pronounced ˈkal-ya(h)', is an ancient Gaelic goddess who rules over the cold, winter months as the midwife for the dying year. In this livestream talk, at the heart of winter, we'll explore her enigma through folklore, symbolism, spell work and more.

This online talk introduces you to the Cailleach, a fascinating goddess that has endured since Neolithic times. She is the 'veiled one', a midwife for the dying year, who shapes the landscapes and controls the weather, bringing storms, floods and snow. The Cailleach is a powerful ally to have onside, and can support us in many aspects of our life when we know how to seek and find her. 

This livestream talk with witch and bestselling author Rachel Patterson will introduce you to this formidable goddess through her myths and legends, associations, and the many ways that she can help you and your magic. Book now to meet her, and deepen your magical practice this winter.
