  1. On #Cruachan Aigle, on her white quartz harvest hill, St. Patrick had thrown his silver bell at #Corra. This featherless bird blackened it, and turned it to iron. After that, St. Patrick chased her from Croagh Patrick to Lough Derg, also named after her: Lough na Corragh.

  3. At #LoughDerg, #Celtic folktales say, Patrick killed the #Corra, the `female fiend`, and so turned its waters half red with her blood. `Corr` means `stork`, and has childbirth associations. This featherless bird had the role of the Great Swallower. `The devil‘s mother` was the chieftainness of the demon birds and the pagan energy of the air.
