Welcome to April 21st; the day before Earth Day. I guess The Cailleach wanted one last hurrah before she let Spring in...What's it like where you are? Weird weather?

Today belongs to Old Woman. It's said that around this time the Cailleach brings winter storms to hold off spring. Today has been a beautiful day so it look like it's Bride's season now. Nevertheless I will be pouring some whisky and lighting some incense in honour of Old Woman.

Offerings for the Old Woman, An Cailleach. Spent the evening cleaning the altar and laying out offerings. Remember to keep your altars tidy. A messy altar is disrespectful to your gods, your spirits and your magick. Clear away the old incense ash, don't leave food and drink on the altar till it turns moldy. Clean it up. A clean space to work in is conducive to getting good results, the witch can focus better in a tidy place. Keep your sacred spaces sacred. #witchcraft #scottishwitchcraft #spiritwork #pagan #gaelic #altars #witchesofinstagram #witches #magick #scottishdeities #oldwoman #thecailleach #cailleach

It’s a start…a long way to go yet, but this is the Cailleach, the Crone, the last in the Triple Goddess Cycle. She rules over winter and signifies the resting time before rebirth begins…going inside, into the dark moon, into out shadows, the chrysalis, the dormancy before the bloom… #cailleach #thecailleach #thecrone #triplegoddess #winteriscoming #antler #triplespiral #oldwoman #cauldron #irishmythology #irishmythologyart #irishgoddess #bellacoolaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CWmb5nIpsS0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Planning phases of my next painting, another round one. This is the Winter phase of the Triple Goddess, the Cailleach, or the Crone. Bringer of Winter, protector of the woodland and it’s creatures, Weaver of the World. #cailleach #thecailleach #irishgoddess #irishmythology #visionaryart #visionaryartist #fantasyart #goddessart #archetypeart #archetypeartist #goddessarchetype (at Quesnel, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWM8F3Ol1hH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Nearly done part 2 of The Cailleach! After paint touch ups is glazing, and then the fabric/textile piece! In Gaelic mythology, the Cailleach is an old goddess of mountains, rocks, storms, and the winter. By the end of this little project, she should have a head of hand-dyed wool roving hair(hand-dyed by bee’s step mom!) and a hand knit little grey hood, and she’ll be hung up throughout the winter! #artsandcrafts #craftart #thecailleach #airdryclay #watercolourpaint https://www.instagram.com/p/BsSJJ_7hSDY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dcgl6g1s4jnv

Steady as she goes, my friends. Build for the long haul, not just for the moment. Use your magic to create what you need from the elements that exist around you, and build on that. Don't worry if it's too small -- the greatest mountains are built on pebbles. Your wisdom begins step by step. And remember, you stand on the shoulders of giants, so any view you've achieved has been with great help. #tarot #oracles #runes #charms #divinersofinstagram #darkgoddesstarot #themusesdarling #witchesofinstagram #thecailleach #ancientmountainmotherspeaks #listenup
