Mala Liath
The Hag

This Scottish hag’s name indicates either “gray eyebrows” or “gray horse.” She has dominion over pigs—her sacred animals—and so folklorists believe that she was an ancient sow goddess, perhaps similar to Cerridwen. Mala Liath may or may not be another aspect of Cailleach Bheur (see page 537).
