    Excellent short film. The bilingual narration was particularly apt, and the scenes of the Highlands were beautiful. Many thanks and blessings to sister Mhairi McIntyre for this work.

    Go raibh maith agat ! It is interesting and poetic. I think I am going to make a ritual for the Cailleach before the end of the winter. I feel sorrow for my home land when I see those beautiful landscapes.

    'Elemental Supernatural being'. I am more in favour of this term than Goddess. My practices are mostly based on aural stories passed down from my Scottish father who had a fascination for the Magick of the Islands.. The Outer Hebrides..Aural stories have been passed down of her as being a 'giant woman' the personification of winter, Modern new age Wicca and Wiccan practices related have been quick to idolise her as Goddess. Many stories now seem contradictory to 3 generations of aural spoken stories of Scotland. Beltane is the Anglo version of Betanin in Scotland and Belatine in Ireland.,' I really can't abide the English basterdisation Beltane.
