Cailleach

Type: Hag

Cailleach is a large woman who carries a staff, associated with the destructive powers of nature. In Scotland, she is sometimes described as having a blue face wearing plaid. She comes down from her mountain home beating her staff against the ground, causing it to freeze and bring snowstorms on the first of November. Mountains and other geographical features are created from her apron as she walks the land. Pictured above is one of many locations named after her.
