The Lore of Gwarchyrhibyn:

The Lore of Gwarchyrhibyn:
Ireland, Celtic "washer of the ford", a death goddess. She can appear as a beautiful young woman, or as a haggard old woman, washing bloodied garments in a stream. If she is watched while performing this task, she will say whose garments she's washing, fortelling that person's death.

The definition of Grave...

Gardens dark and holding the World's secrets, you are a Mother, a Mother stern and true.

The Fey know your name, and they speak in hushed tones, carrying it with all the Reverence it deserves.

The stark images of the woods, grave and severe in deep winter, fill me with a cold solemnity.

Here you remain, and here you shall stay, fore'er more.
