I searched yahoo for Callieach and lo and behold I found a ton of links.

One of the sites said...

It is said that the C'l Th'n traditions derive from the oral traditions of the "People of the Callieach" of ancient Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. The Cailleach, according to family lore, is also known as the "Bear Mother", as well as is associated with the Boar. The Blue Faced Hag is also known as "Bringer of the Ice Mountains" which is cognate with extant Gaidhlig oral traditions which associate Her with winter. Regardless, long has this formidable deity been a part of the Celtic consciousness. The Caillech is the patroness of the C'l Th'n.
