Auld Wives Day (Là na Caillich). Cailleach Shrines & Spring Equinox Gathering Invitation

March 25, 2021

Today is La na Caillich, day of the old crone. It was once New Years Day in an older calendar, an apt time for a new year as we enter into that phase of wild weather which takes us from the wild roar of winter and into the spring like weather of the frolic of lambs.

This year the dark has been darker and the deep has been deeper. It’s been a wonderful journey to gather with like minded women and tell tales of the old crone, and explore then through art projects and small gestures of ritual.

This year we journeyed for 6 months exploring the stories of the Cailleach, visiting:

  • The Shrine of the Cailleach

  • The Whirlpool of Corryvrecken

  • The Cailleach’s Relationship with Deer (Her Fairy Cattle)

  • As she can’t be found in different continents we explored the Old Women of Different Lands

  • We Heard Stories of the Bean Feasa and Their Relationship to the Cailleach

  • Looked For Any Links Between the Cailleach and Brighid

  • Lastly We Explored the Stories of the Cailleach’s Renewal and the Symbolism of the Myth

With online gatherings via Zoom, art projects and ritual. This course will launch again in October
