Other Origins: Cornwall.
Other Names: Korrigans.
Element: Water.
Appearance and Temperament: This changeable faery came to Cornwall from Breton France, where she is still well known. Corrigans appear as blonde females by night and repulsive hags by day.
Time Most Active: All year.
Lore: The Corrigan may be a devalued version of the Celtic Triple goddess known as the Morrigan, who is three Crone Goddesses in one.
Or she may be a myth which underscores the devaluation of women, especially elderly women.
Men who see her by night are never able to forget her, and some pine away for want of her.
Stories exist concerning men who marry a Corrigan only to discover in the morning the true nature of their wives.
Other legends state that if a man genuinely loves her in her night form and is open-minded enough to continue loving her in the morning, that she will become human and remain beautiful both night and day.
