This Irish folklore dates back thousands of years. Long before St. Patrick, Caorthannach — the Celtic fire-spitter and Mother of the Devil — hatched deep inside the molten core of the earth. There, she waited. And her children, in the form of snakes, descended upon Ireland for centuries before St. Patrick received a message to save Ireland from evil by banning snakes from the Emerald Isle.
