Carman

In Celtic mythology, Carman was the goddess of evil magic. Her three sons were Dub ("darkness"), Dother ("evil") and Dian ("violence"). They rampaged through Ireland.

The Tuatha de Danaan warred against Carman and her sons. Bechuille, a powerful sorceress, was finally able to defeat her. Her sons were killed and Carman was chained, eventually dying of grief.
