Cailleach Beara submitted by Runemage on 11th Mar 2011. I'd only just passed through the gate when my sandal broke after a few steps, so I continued barefoot. The atmosphere there that day was feminine, gentle and enfolding. It was of an intensity I've only experienced at a few other sites, Cailleach in her aspect of Mother, warm gentle and nurturing.
