An Cailleach - The Hag of Winter
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- We are approaching mid winter and An Cailleach is bringing lots of storms to encourage us to turn inwards, rest and recuperate. She is the Hag of Winter, bringing wind and rain, ice and snow and tells us to stay indoors and dream by the fire.
If you are interested in Irish Goddesses, you may want to know more about the Wise Woman Way training which follows the Celtic Wheel of the Year. An Cailleach is associated with the next festival - the Winter Solstice. You can find out more about this transpersonal course here - www.danusirish...
Whilst the Wise Woman Way training includes healing plants and making some medicines, the Introduction to Herbal Medicine Course is a more practical course. If you would like to become more self-sufficient and self-reliant, this course might be for you. Find out more here - www.danusirish...
My two little books - The Weed Handbooks Vol1 and Vol2 are available from the website, here - www.danusirish... and make lovely little Christmas presents or stocking fillers for the herb/plant enthusiast in your life.
Thanks to Lol for the music and video making. You can follow Lol on RUclipsr - / @lolhardiman5247 or take a look at his website - lolhardimanmus...
Here is an uplifting little film that makes so much sense. I hope you enjoy it.

Have a great week and thanks for watching! xx
What a beautiful, inspiring speech you offered us today! Thank you so much, love and blessings to you all, dear doggies included. Thank you again and again for being here.
Glad to hear you found it inspiring, thank you xx
I just adore your clothes! Where do you buy them?
Such an important message about the cycles of Nature and embracing Death as part of Life.
I agree, knowing this takes away a lot of stress and worry xx
Absolutely ❤
your animal friends are so inquisitive. 🐕🐱🐓🐔 thank you for sharing the story of the hag of winter, ☃🎄
Thank you too, for watching. Glad you liked it xx
💯❤🔥@@DanusIrishHerbGarden
I had never heard of the Cailleach until about a month ago and then she has popped up three times. Thank you very much for sharing her history. 💚
Glad you enjoyed it! Perhaps she has a message for you xx
New England is known for its unpredictable weather, especially during the winter months. I often hear both residents and visitors complain about storms. The weather is not merely there for us to enjoy; it is a part of something much greater. There is both joy and lessons in everything. Solstice blessings to you and yours, Terri!
So well said - we humans tend to make everything about us!😂 Blessings for a happy and peaceful Solstice and Christmas. xx
such a beautiful message Terri, thank you. your videos have been so comforting for me, and I learn so much from you. I am grateful to have found you!
Thank you so much! Delighted to hear you find the videos comforting and helpful🙏 xx
Thank You Terri for sharing your garden, your knowledge, your sweet sweet dogs, and bringing hope, confidence and light to shoo away whatever darkness is around.
Thank you Cristina - I am sure you are sharing the light too xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden ❤️
Lovely talk, timely for me and so many others. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! xx
I look forward to your videos every week. So inspiring.
Wow, thank you! Delighted to hear that xx
She is a favorite of mine…..I’ve always loved storms……I view Storms as a cleansing…a bit of a declutter a upheaval of what has been stuck and an incentive to mop up under things to bring in new movement and a swirl of new energy ….nothing like a good storm to purify the environment (as long as people stay safe that is) 😊
I absolutely agree. Storms blow away all stagnant energy and refresh everything. - As long as people are safe xx
Thank you, love the stories and legends you tell of the ancients
Glad you enjoy them. xx
I always enjoy your videos Terri. I'm watching this one for a second time. I do love dogs. I appreciate learning about the history and folklore of my Irish and Scottish ancestry. 'Tis the the season to rest and recoup, to appreciate the efforts of the harvest, and to plan for next year's garden. We are in what I call, 'soup season.' Lots of veggies and harvested herbs go into the pot for nurturing simple meals. Hearty and filling, warm and healing. Thank you again Terri and Lol for your video series. They transport me to a more wholesome time from my history. Blessings from Canada.🍁🌲
I like to get out in those storms sometimes, to camp on the moors and fells around me; I like the peace - and lack of bugs - and just the sounds of nature about me. Huddled in a hot tent or by a fire under a tarp with nature all around me, when i get home the warm comfort is increased. BB
Sounds wonderful - exhilarating and peaceful at the same time xx
So beautifully said ❤
The dogs are a couple of dafties😅 that sounds like me talking about my cats.I used to live in north west uk. Your co inhabitants are lovely 😍 Enjoy seeing them following you around always wagging their tails and seeing the cats and chickens too. You're doing a great service putting this information out there💗
Glad you are enjoying it FairyJam - where would we be without the dogs and cats? xx
So glad to see you back. Can't wait to see the new chickens!
Chickens have settled in very well, I will introduce them later xx
Everything in Nature is constantly changing, yet in balance. To ensure that balance, it is necessary to have resting and rearranging times. I really enjoyed the story of the Cailleach. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
Glad you enjoyed it, it is a great story and more to it than I could mention here. Definitely we need some resting and rearranging times xx
WOW Terri how interesting to hear the folklore of my dad's family . The video too was 👍 wonderful. Thank you for sharing for me🎄🕊️
You are so welcome xx
Wonderful. Thank you for the telling.
You are so welcome xx
So good seeing you. Thank you.
Thank you too! xx
Thank u Terri the dark days before Christmas can become overbearing for some but to secure the hatches and light the candles always makes me feel cozy and secure. It's like a form of hibernation during the dark cold winter months....as u say it's a time to rest and take stock for the year ahead. Truly inspiring to hear your tale reminding us of Winters value.
Please can u let Lol know he catches the light and the mood if your videos so beautifully every single time for me. Thanks again and blessings to u both and your beautiful dogs 🙏 xxx
The dark days can be difficult for some and I hope this story helps people to get through until the light returns. Lol will see your comment and will be thrilled with it. thanks Pat xx
Good day dear Terri, Lol and the 🐾🐾🐔🐔🐔 ! That was so interesting and also encouraging in many ways. I tend to get a bit sad when the land changes in winter. I'll be looking at things in a new light today 💜. Glad to hear the chickens are adjusting and happy with your daughter. I can't tell you what a bright spot it is on any given Sunday to watch and listen to you. Blessings always, with love 💜🕯🌲
Love and blessings to you Marilyn. Thanks for watching and hope you will see things in a new light. xx
Wonderful, thank you Terry for your sharing of Caileach. I live in mountains where the cold of Winter is typically six months long. My home is in a vast, healthy Forrest of Pine, Cedar and Fir where Bears wonder daily and snowfall becomes very, very deep. The Bears only semi hibernate here, yet their ways along with the depths of snow have taught me much, especially as I get older, I am so in sync and strive for more patience as I'd prefer much shorter winters now..... I am grateful for hearing of Caileach and will recognize her with better appreciation.
Thank you and a lovely Sunday to you❄️
Sounds like a beautiful and pristine place. The air must be so clear and cleansing to breathe. xx
Praises to Terry, Goddess guide to calmness, wisdom, wellness, contentment & positivity.
Wow! thank you for such an accolade. You have all that inside yourself xx Have a wonderful week!
Good morning!! Such beautiful lessons. Not just about a goddess but about using the winter to rest and dream. So much better than dreading it. ☕️☕️
I agree. We can't change it so make the best of it and there are so many lovely ways to do that xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I am finally at this stage in life to do what feels right and brings joy rather than what I became accustomed to (habits) or what society thinks is the right way.
Timely reminder of the Cailleach and sensational photography!! Thank you both!
So glad you liked it xx
Brightest blessings, Lovely Terri! Such a beautiful film and such a glorious message, and particularly well timed! I am taking this to heart as I am in fact moved into a lovely new house in space and trying to think and plan for the future and what I want to see foster and grow here! Thank you immeasurably for all of your beautiful work!
Perfect timing. Just sit by the fire and dream xx
Hi Terri and Lol, and the doggies as well!!! Nice story about the old and wise one eye women!!! The one eye might be the pineal glad, our old inter-dimentional eye... Interesting she becomes more human-like as she is living and staying on Earth!!!! The landscape, particularly the rivers direct the energy on the ground, makes it fluid, magnetically fluid... My friends see a difference with me in winter, they say that like a bear I hibernate too!!! I simply sleep more and get outside less... and the healing fire..., yes the fire!!!! We should not feel afraid of death even of billions of humans death because life goes on and indeed we are immortal souls travelling on a human body to just experience humanity!!! Love, wisdom, temperance, courage and peace to all of you my Irish friends!!!!😃🙏🌹
Thank you so much for your blessings Mariel and I wish them to all as well. That is a good point about the Pineal Gland. xx
Wow! Amazing words thank you! I could read that over and over. Sending love from New Zealand ❤
Really lovely and welcome reminder that the dark of winter is bringing the light back as the wheel turns.
Glad you thought so. Most definitely xx
Lovely lessons and stories from the land ❤ Thanks for my weekly dose of wisdom and beauty 🎉
Thank you for watching and best wishes for the week ahead xx
Perfect timing, storms are coming to California starting today. I have been feeling tired and in much need of rest, this was the perfect message, thank you.
Enjoy! Put your feet up xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thank you so much! 💖
Thank you, old goddes stories are always very interesting, lots of wisdom in them💜
Glad you enjoyed it. I agree so much wisdom in folklore - so much guidance xx
I'm adding to the many other sentiments of thanks here in the comments for a particularly uplifting talk today about the Hag of Winter and our place in winter. It was very welcome today!
Glad to hear it hit the spot Mike. Hope all is well with you xx
Good Afternoon Terri! Thank you for your stories. I love learning. Glad the rescue chickens are doing well. Have a great week! Blessings.
Thank you! You too! You re very welcome. xx
Always look forward to Sunday mornings with you!
That's lovely to hear, thank you , you are welcome xx
❤Thank you Terri see you next time 😊
Next Sunday I hope. Have a great week in the meantime xx
What a wonderful positive story about the Calleah. It gives us a new way of looking a winter and destructions of storms. I am glad your chickens are OK.
Glad you enjoyed it! Xx
Mother Nature has so much to teach us, if only we will be observant. Thanks for sharing the story. Holiday blessings to all 🤗💗🇨🇦
Blessings to you too - there are so many answers in folklore - so much wisdom xx
What an aspiring and intelligent lady
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it xx
Hiya Terri Thankyou for the visit. Always enjoy the tales you share. Oh I could imagine being by the fire all snug while the storm is about. Blessings Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
Blessings to you Beverley - I hope you do get to snuggle up close to the fire. xx
Thank you but I meant you and yours by the fire unfortunately I only have the fake sort lol 🇨🇦🐝@@DanusIrishHerbGarden
You are a breath of fresh air, Danu 🥰
Thanks Susan - glad you liked it xx
Have a bright solstice.
Thank you Jeanne - it is lovely so far xx Hope you are enjoying it too xx
Funny that this is also my favorite time of the year. I love Yule, I was born on the 25th of Dec. and have been working the craft in my own way since I was 16, now I am 68 this year, LOL.
Thank you for also the correct pronunciation of the Dear old Hag's name and that she is part of the evolving face of the Goddess. I am a blacksmith and a farmer of a small plot of land and do landscaping , so it is very interesting to see all the dots connecting after all these years. Yep She is fierce but it is a loving fierceness that brings in necessary change and brings the elements needed for the growth in the Spring. am very happy for this video this morning while I am sitting in a fierce winter deluge of rain that will go up the eastern coast of the USA as a nor'easter for sure.
My place is a bit wild like yours is and I understand all the effort it takes to deal with it all. You do a smashing job of it. Hug the critters for me, they add a lot of warmth to your videos.
Lots of rain everywhere - lots here too. Stay warm and cosy by the fire during your nor'easter xx
Wonderful film,stunning photography,thank you both xx
Thank you Mary. Hope all good with you xx
So glad to see you back this week, Terri! I loved learning about An Cailleach and seeing the garden in winter. Blessings!
Glad to be back - sorry about last week. Winter Blessings to you too xx
Solstice Blessings to you.
Solstice Blessings to you too Cynthia xx
Thanks guys! And animals , beautiful earth X
Thanks for watching xx
Hello there dear terri, and all the lovely s,happy Sunday xx.😊
Hello 😊 and Happy Sunday to you too xx
Terri you look radiant in your bright colors 🌺. Thank you for sharing uplifting and gentle reminders about life’s hope and growth🌿🌟.
Thank you Barbara and so glad you enjoyed it. xx Have a very happy Solstice xx
Thanks for this gift every week 🎁🙏
Thank you for your time watching xx very appreciated. xx
So beautiful. I truly needed this today. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Glad it was helpful! xx
You are right, only the body dies. Your spirit will find an other body. Many years ago I had physical contact with the other side and I dont want to lose it and NOBODY can take it away from me. The other side has NO name, but I call it The One from Above. You must know that It will punish NOBODY, only people do to another and to themself. I whish more people could feel this. Grtz from Belgium 🌅🙏
Happy to hear you have had such a revelation. Have you watched Next Level Soul podcast on youtube? Some very interesting stories xx
Exactly. The spirit is eternal love. A beautiful comment thank you. I’m am happy you had such an experience ❤
Thank you for all your hard work
Thank you very much Joan xx
Love that description, and I am enjoying my winter hibernation. I joined a book club for the first time and I spend cosy afternoons reading. Merry Yuletide to you and yours 🎄 ❤
Sounds great! Heavenly even xx
Thank ❤you for wonderful episode. Love seeing the pups and seeing the landscapes and water view.
Liked learning about winter goddess and Holly .
Always good to see and listen to you thx
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much. The Winter Goddess is very interesting. xx
Thank you so much and lots of love to you all 💓💓💓
Lots of love to you too Louise, Have a very Happy Winter Celebration xx
Reminds me of Keats, “Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?”
A wise man with an open mind xx
Terry, your view of the landscape is just breathtaking. I have always wanted to visit Ireland and experience it myself (maybe one day) and you bring that to me...thank you. Your knowledge of the land, its uses and inspiration is just lovely! I take this information and use this for my own home land and its native plants. I'm in the US (North Carolina) region. I look forward to your videos! xx
Aw thank you so much Jennifer. I think North Carolina is beautiful too - lots of trees and mountains and the Appalachian trail xx
💚 Thank you Terri, for the view.
Glad you liked it xx
Blessed Be, thank you for this. Love learning about the old ways.
An Cailleach is one of our oldest stories xx
Like you said "there is promise in the havoc". Have a healthy, happy winter. Cheers!
Thank you and hope you do too xx
Love the paradoxes of life. Dark needs the light, bland transforms to beauty, dormancy reinvents to a new birth cycle. Isnt it marvelous!! So glad you got the chickens to their new home. I am a city dweller and would love a video on how you manage chickens and care for them, especially the egg cycle
They make life interesting - as do chickens. They need very little from us and will show you one day xx
I love your description of life’s paradoxes ❤
Thank you , its good to tell stories about winter and how regenerative it is ❤❤
It really is! xx
Terri, I love so much of the winter branches to bring a few indoors, I have cut o small amount from my big birch tree to have as decoration over Christmas and bit beyond, I do have a couple of winter hellebore s white just peeping out they are one of my very favourite flowers, I do have tons of favourite s though,😊hello to those lovely dogs and the t arden girls and boys,,im glad to hear the rescue girls are settling in,,wonderful film again, thank-you Terri and to loll for the calming music, take care,bye for now xx from me and my garden girls 🐔. Xxheather 🇬🇧 xxx
The Hellebores are one of my favourites too Hetty. Hi to your girls xx
Your place is gorgeous even in winter! So far it's been mild in Wyoming but it could change at any moment. Enjoyed hearing about the hag of winter! Thank you and blessings! 🙏
Thank you! Blessings to you and yours xx
Thanks Terri and Loll.
You are very welcome, glad you liked it xx
Blessings Beautiful Terri❤
Love your spirit and ur videos. Kelli from California 💐🌲
Thank you so much! xx
Such beautiful videography. 😊
That's by my husband Lol. thank you! xx
Hello Terri, really enjoyed this episode. Fascinating goddess. As a horticulturist I just wanted to mention deciduous plants still photosynthesise through small pores in the bark called lenticils. All in preparation for spring.
Thank you for giving the rescued chickens a home. Merry Christmas everyone from Australia
Merry Christmas to you too xx
🌱🌈🌲🙏Thank-you xoxo 💖
You're welcome xx
Good morning my Sweet lady so good to see you
Glad to have you here too. Sorry we missed last week xx
I actually enjoy the darkness of winter. I like the dark mornings, especially when i'm up first. I quietly go around lighting candles and it feels good to do it.
Totally agree! It's a really special thing to do xx
I do like the lessons you give.
Thanks so much xx
Thank you for these videos. You’ve helped me get through the whole holiday season in NYC. There’s more than just the commercialism. You’re helping me connect with nature and history, giving the whole season less pressure and new meaning. Thanks!
I'm so glad to hear this. Thanks 🙏😊
Beautiful country, thanks for sharing this story ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄
Same to you and you are welcome xx
Always a joy being with you as I watch your video❤
Thanks Val - glad you are enjoying the videos . Have a great Solstice xx
This was so interesting! I love learning about anything nature & earth. 💚💚💚
Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you so much for your wise words. Yuke Blessings to you, your family and your cute doggies.😊❤
Same to you! Thanks for watching xx
I love the solstice as I find the fact that the earth stands still for a short time before moving back towards the light is fascinating given the size of its mass I allows me to feel connected to the whole.e
Isn't it incredible. Observing and celebrating the Solstices bring that back to us, to be mindful of that power xx
Beautiful ❤
Thank you xx
Hi Terri, we definitely have the hag around here in our area! Thank you for your teachings! I have learned a lot about the Celtic traditions from you, and a multitude of other things . You are a gem. Have a great week. 💚🌙🌿
You are so welcome Cynthia. Have a great week yourself xx
Thank you Terri 💕xxx💕
You are so welcome. Happy New Year xx
Thank you, Terri, I liked your telling of An Cailleach all the best, watch you next week, hope all your preparations go well for the up and upcoming festival.
All going well thank you , Deana and hope same for you xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden cheers 🥂
Thank you 🌱💚🌿
Thanks for watching xx
Happy to know you are doing well. I look forward to Sunday mornings with you and noticed your absence last week. Looking forward to your video about the light next week!
Sorry we missed one last week - it was just the time and the weather got away from us. Hve a lovely week xx
Wow ! Daffs already! Spring peeking out behind the curtain - only a few days to go before the Solstice! I like that way of positive thinking - storms being energy! Thanks Terri and your chickens are OK.
That is why I like storms, they clear away all the old energy xx
The daffs was actually footage from a couple of years ago as it seemed an appropriate illustration of what Terri was saying. We won't be expecting daffodils until late January or early February...
I was almost jealous there! LOL! But I have a friend in Sussex and she always has daffs in January! Little ones, I guess early flowering - always racing the snowdrops!
I enjoyed seeing those bits of stormy weather.
Me too! Very invigorating xx
❤❤❤
I have fallen in love with your pups. Beautiful creatures. Clearly, they love you :)
They love everyone!! 😂 Always looking for pats and rubs xx
I loved this story! I’m learning to lean into slower, more restful days of winter. Sleeping a bit longer and doing some quiet crafts and dreaming up next year’s garden. Blessings to you this Yule.🌲🐇
Sounds great! A good practice for us all xx
Beautifull story, learn alot watching you every week. 😘Have a wonderful week
Glad to hear that and hope your week is wonderful too xx
Absolutely love watching and learning. 😊 🙏🏼 TY
Lovely to hear that - thank you xx
Ye fill me with joy. Your videos are filled with hope and information. Thank you
Thanks dear Helen lots of love to you and family xx
Thank you Terri ,have a good week.
You are so welcome as always. Enjoy your celebrations xx
I learn so much about Ireland's culture and history from your channel. Hoping for a day visit to Dublin next year when we're in Anglesey, just a ferry ride away. One day I hope, the west coast! It looks amazing even at winter solstice.
Enjoy your time in the Celtic countries. Anglesey is full of myth, magic and monuments xx
dear Terri......thank you so much for the valuable information...........have a good time and take care of you........................I am back at home again but it was great to be in ireland .......................xx Daggy,from Kiel,Blessings and greetings☘☘☘
