#MythologyMonday
After the Autumn Equinox, the Cailleach [a Gaelic deity of the winter months] may be seen washing the tartan cloth that she wears in a whirlpool - reputedly the Corryvreckan Maelstrom. Once the cloth is bleached white through washing, it becomes the snow blanket that covers the land until the spring - when, exhausted by her snow-creating exertions, the Cailleach goes into hibernation.
