In Gaelic (Irish, Scottish and Manx) myth, Cailleach is a goddess (often known as the 'divine hag') and ancestor associated with the creation of the landscape and with the weather, especially storms and winter. While it literally translated to as the “Veiled One", over time Her name came to mean “old wife” or “old woman”. From Old Irish caillech (“nun, housekeeper, elderly woman, crone, hag”), from caille (“veil”) (+ -ech), from Latin pallium. Yet she was thought to never grow old, an all powerful, ageless, Goddess of transformation.
