Truly a blessing to listen to your re-telling of this tale. Thank you, Amy, and thanks Kathleen Prophet for sharing this.

So LOVE your work, Amy Palko, Goddess of the Sacred Stories! This piece helped me on the deepest levels of my being yesterday, on Imbolc, when I was both feeling a new sense of life burbling up from the great below, along with feeling a regressive pull back down and in. Something happened in listening to this story. The tension between the Cailleach, Winter, and the Bride, Spring was released, and the two nodded in love and respect for each other…. and I was freed.
Now I am dancing with the new energy, while respecting the olde, continuing to give myself the deep sleep and care Winter calls for, while dreaming my new work forward for its birth in Spring!
I could listen to your Scottish storytelling every night before bed. And I will! having purchased the whole set of stories in your Virgin & Lovers: Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Goddess!

Thank you

Oh, beautiful! Heart-breaking, too, because we love that Cailleach who makes the world and who wants to – but can’t – trust herself to thaw a little. Thank you so much for this, Amy. It went straight to my heart!
