Ruadán was the son of Bres, the half-Fomorian king of the #TuathaDéDanann, the people of his mother #Brigit. Before the second battle of Mag Tuired, Ruadán -siding with his father-came to spy upon the smith Goibniu and steal his magical secrets. Goibniu killed the lad, which caused his mother to invent the wild sound of keening to express her grief. For himself, Goibniu was able to heal his wounds by traveling to the sacred well on Slane Hill.

„Probably because fine weather was so important during harvest time, the #Cailleach was seen as a weather spirit, sometimes called `the old gloomy woman` or envisioned as a crane with sticks in her beak which forecast storms.“
