Nua-: On the Isle of Man the #Berrey Dhone (Brown Berry) lived either on top of North Barrule Mountain or inside it. Like other forms of the #Cailleach, this hag or witch was an Amazonian giant, and her rocky heelprint can still be seen on the mountainside.

Nua-: #Ceridwen lived on an island in the middle of Lake Bala (Llyn Tegid) in north #Wales with her mate, Tegid Voel (“the bald”), and their two children, the beautiful Creirwy (“light”) and the ugliest little boy in the world, Afagddu (“dark”). To compensate for his unfortunate appearance, Ceridwen planned to make her son a great seer, and to this end this fearsome goddess (sometimes called a witch or sorceress) brewed a powerful secret mixture of herbs. Into her cauldron she piled the herbs to simmer for a year and a day—a magical length of time appropriate to such a concoction. The brew had to be stirred regularly, and Ceridwen was not always on hand to keep the brew mixed. So she set a little boy named #Gwion to stir the cauldron, warning him that he must on no account taste it. Three tiny drops splattered from the cooking pot onto Gwion’s thumb, which he popped in his mouth to ease the burn. Immediately, all the wisdom and inspiration Ceridwen had intended for Afagddu was Gwion’s.

was eager to gain all the knowledge that the Salmon of Wisdom had from eating hazelnuts. For seven years the had been waiting for just the right moment to gain the wisdom that the salmon held within itself. When the time was right, Finnéces/Finegas caught the fish, who came to his line as though by prearrangement.
The old druid set the fish to cook, leaving the boy mac Cumhaill to watch it and warning him not to touch it or taste it. But the salmon sizzled and spattered onto Fionn’s thumb, which he stuck into his mouth to ease the pain. Immediately wisdom flooded him—the very wisdom that Finnéces had been hoping to attain.

: The bloc na Nollaíg, a huge chunk of wood, would burn in the home’s central hearth for the duration of the Christmas festivities, about twelve days. It would be lit with a piece saved from the previous year’s log, thus continuing the cycle of the seasons and of the sun. It would smoulder until the end of the festival, when it would be extinguished. Its ashes would then be used to nourish the seeds of the new spring planting, and a sliver reserved to light the following year’s log.

The Cailleach is the embodiment of winter itself, an old woman and witch who flies like a storm over Ireland and Scotland and wields a powerful hammer that can break trees during a cold snap. A trickster and almost certainly a goddess, she can bless too.

#Fairies were not evil. However, they were amoral, not tied to the moral and ethical demands of humanity. They were merely playful troublemakers rather than devilish opponents. They commonly tried to lead travelers astray. This was a minor inconvenience and could be quite frightening, but even without protection, the #fairy eventually grew bored with the trick and released the ensnared human. More seriously, the fairies attempted to lure useful or attractive people into the #Otherworld, to do their bidding until released.
