Historical Background

Also called Cailleach or Cailleach Beara, she was a sorceress depicted as an elderly woman with the teeth of a bear and tusks from a boar in Irish and Scottish mythology. Cailleach means "old woman" and Bheur means "sharp" or "shrill", a term used to apply to the weather. She is associated with winter time and is considered the personification of Winter in the British Isles. One of her titles is The Blue Hag of Winter.
