Cailleach Bheur [Scottish].
She is the blue faced tag that is reborn every year, on October the 31st
(Samhain), is her job to bring the new snow and wait on the goddess Bridget
to get around to turning her into stone. On April the 30th (Beltine).
It's her job to make sure that the death of the earth goes smoothly.
It's thought that in later times, the witch known as Black Annis is derived
from her.

A "hag" makes more sense than a "tag" if I may be picky. :-)
Coiissseesssss, I've been outed. Part of the evil plan was to get free
proofreading. Now that you've blown that out of the water, whatever will I
do? Have a beer I spect.
What that is, is sloppy proffreading on my part.
Laddie, to err is human - to forgive divine. I forgive you ... am I
now Goddess Pang? lol
I use AVR for almost
everything, & should have listened to the text first.
Ah well, it's hard as hell to walk on water anymore, & M&M's, forget it, they
fall through the holes in my hands.
Googled the name and found several articles ...
http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/folklore/calleach.html
was one I enjoyed.
Pfffft, bookmarked of course.
Of course, I expected not a jot nor tittle less. I was only commenting
that I enjoyed the article - being certain you had read it.
You have not even seen the surface lass, I spect I have over 10,000 of the
critters in my notes.
Eeeekkk! Don't let them escape into the house! *Visualizing
Walksalone with fly swatter in hand - killing seven with one blow!!!*
walksalone who is gooooiiiing to dodder off for a nap so he can present his
next goof up, AKA a collage of mistakes. & have fun doing it.
Having fun - what's that? I've nigh forgotten.
I believe that religion, generally speaking, has been a curse to mankind.
