Very interesting - although I'd like to add, and emphasise, that the first two are very much about Scottish traditions. Irish Cailleachean are very different, and so are Irish Brighid traditions. No doubt you know this, but I'm worried that some readers might not. I honour Cailleach Bhearra from the Beara Peninsula, and she is constantly conflated with the Scottish Cailleach. As a polytheist, that confuses me!
