The Cailleach, the 'veiled one', is the Gaelic embodiment of the dark mother/harvest goddess. Called the bringer of storms, she is a crone often portrayed riding on a wolf with a hammer made of human flesh. She sometimes wears human skulls on her clothes. #FolkloreThursday
News for those born on All Hallows Eve:
If you were born on Halloween you're said to be gifted with "second sight."
It is also said that Halloween's seers are not only able to foretell events and see ghosts, but they're also able to ward off evil spirits.

A fierce guardian of churches haunts the lore of many lands. England had 'church grims', said to toll the bell to herald a death. As the first laid to rest was fated to be the guardian, an animal was ritually interred in a new cemetery, so human souls could RIP #FolkloreThursday
