The shore at the beach or around a lake is a place of ‘in between’ it is a boundary between the water and the earth and is therefore a very magical place, a spot of transformation and enlightenment. The Cailleach can help you overcome fear and to deal with your emotions bringing cleansing and purification with her. Water also has an element of danger, especially oceans and the power that they have, never underestimate the strength of water. Water is cleansing and purifying and is most definitely linked to our emotions. The Cailleach is a goddess of fresh and salt water in the form of oceans, rivers, lakes, streams and wells. Perhaps the veil is there because we aren’t ready to share, perhaps the veil has been there too long…the tricky part is recognising when to reveal our true selves to others if at all, but I think we should always be true to your own self, The Cailleach can help with that. We not only hide things from others but also from ourselves.

However she also has her own light compassionate side as well.Īs she is associated with ‘veils’ The Cailleach helps to remind us that we all hide behind veils or put on masks at some time, perhaps too much of the time. The Cailleach can help us to see into that darkness and not be afraid. The dark is a place of shadow and mystery and can be seen as something that we fear. She is a dark goddess but you need to see and understand the dark to be able to appreciate and balance with the light. The importance of nature and our planet.Shape shifting – you can be whatever you want to.Whatever you are doing, give it your all.Work with empathy, love and compassion.Let go of the old and that which holds you back to be able to move forward.
