The Crone Goddess Of Samhain
Nicnevin, a Pagan goddess who hails from the old religion of pre-Christian Scotland, is known as the Crone Goddess of Samhain. She is said to be a deity of great wisdom and magickal aptitude, and many modern Witches (especially those of Scottish heritage and/or those who follow a Scottish tradition of Wicca) invoke her presence during Halloween rituals for empowerment and protection against all forms of negativity. Witchcraft and the magickal arts are the realms that this goddess governs, and she represents the imminent onset of the dark half of the year.
