It is jam packed with myths and legends of the Cailleach, from the Uk and throughout the world, but it's nothing like the dry academic studies which I always struggle with.
♥♥♥ From the first page I was hooked and had trouble putting it down. If you're into Goddess worship or just want to know more about the Cailleach, then this is your book. Thank you, Rachel Patterson, for contributing such an insightful, well-researched book to the Celtic Pagan community ♥♥♥ The book is written in a very readable style complete with folk tales, poems, even a recipe or two. ♥♥♥ I have been waiting for a book about The Cailleach. The Cailleach, with her attributes of winter and rocks and transformation, so infuses the wintry world I have always called home that I was drawn to learning more of her. As a newish member of the pagan community I am hungry for information about the gods and goddesses of my ancestors. Reviews: For such a little book Rachel Patterson's new Pagan Portals offering ¨The Cailleach¨ provides a satisfying blend of scholarship, folklore, humor, and personal experience. A must read for anyone interested in the Cailleach. The author's wit and engaging writing style make the re-tellings of old stories fun, while her honest presentation of information invites the reader to think and draw their own conclusions. Endorsements: Morgan Daimler, author of Pagan Portals - The Morrigan, Pagan Portals - Brigid, and Fairycraft The Cailleach is one of those rare books that perfectly balances folklore and modern interpretations to create a vision of the ancient Crone Goddess which is both grounded and visionary. The Cailleach – Goddess of the ancestors, wisdom that comes with age, the weather, time, shape shifting and winter.
