#Celtic#InternationalWomensDay: #Spring is not the moment of regeneration that we think it is; the #Cailleach is not the grandmother we presume her to be. She has been gestating all the activity of burgeoning new life deep underground throughout the long winter. We are ignorant of it because we can only appreciate that which we can see and touch, such as the green shoots of spring bursting out of the ground with the arrival of Brigid. An Cailleach, the pregnant mother, has done her work; now she hands over to Brigid, the foster mother, to rear her offspring.
