5. She of the Cruach

Cruach (chalice, bowl, the hollow of a bird's nest) CROO·ach —the "ch" is a gutteral sound unlike anything in English or American, but is used in Scots Gaelic. Cruach is the faery pronunciation of the Gaelic "cuach", pronounced the same but with the fae grace note of the "r" omitted.
A special cup or chalice, used to hold sacred drinks, like healing potions or the wine for the shared cup of a bride and groom at their wedding ceremony. A sacred, magical vessel. In this case, the Cruach holds the universe and all of time.
