Caileach bheur is a blue faced Celtic Crone godess usually associated with winter. It was said if she was seen gathering much wood we were in for a long cold winter. She is also associated with wolves, deer and looking after wild animals. Each spring tales speak of her either turning to stone until it is her time again, or becoming a young spring like maiden. After a european winter in crone form id be wanting some spring energy too, all that cold and joints.
To me she she sits by an oracular fire, tending it through the dark of the years turning wheel. Prone to having a wolf in for a bowl of her everbrewing stew when the hunt is low.
