She could appear in her Crone image of the white haired lady.

I had not heard of the White-haired Woman until reading your post, but I was immediately reminded of MacDonald's story, wherein a little girl is threatened by goblins and is nurtured and protected by her wise, ancient, grandmother, a beautiful old lady with long white hair who lives in a tower that seemingly only the little girl can find. If you will search for "Jessie Willcox Smith" along with "Princess and the Goblin" in google's image search, you'll see some of the beautiful illustrations from the book. I'm wondering now if George MacDonald, who was interested in all sorts of religious traditions, as well as legends and myths, might have based this character upon the White-haired Woman.pogpersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773963837666860427noreply@blogger.com
