An Cailleach brings the winter 🌬️

The mythological figure in Irish, Scottish, and Manx tradition who summons winter, and is associated with storms, reshaping the landscape, and horned beasts like deer. She defies convention and is a force for regeneration.

Love the new Jane Austen statue at Winchester. As commanding as a general and with a touch of defiance.

The selkie is a creature from Irish, Faroese and Scottish folklore who has the appearance of a seal in water, but sheds its skin to come ashore and reveal a human form. If a human finds the skin and hides it, the selkie cannot return to sea. 🦭
