Cailleach Referred to as the "Mother of All" in parts of Scotland. She is depicted as an old hag with the teeth of a wild bear and boar's tusks. She is believed to be a great sorceress. She is also known to have created the earth. "With her hammer she alternately splinters mountains, prevents the growth of grass, or raises storms. Numerous wild animals follow her..."
-- Encyclopaedia of the Occult, 1920
Disturbingly close to "Callieach", no? But in this context it's one person, the "Mother of All". Could there be some connections though? Or maybe Bungie just liked the name...
