Am seeking information on the Goddess "Magog" from the Welsh Pantheon. I need any and all information anyone could share here, please. I did a websearch and kept getting hits for Gog and Magog of the Bible ~ and that's so not what I'm looking for. :D

Magog/Magg, Meg, Matrona, Maha-Devi: mother, wife of Gog; standing stone; like Scots Cailleach. Gog & Magog: two legendary British giants; descendents of Albina’s? Named in the Bible (Ezekiel 38:2, Revelation 20:7-8)with an air of “evil mystery.”! Giant effigies set up in the fifteenth century in the London Guildhall; destroyed by bombing. Two very beloved old Glastonbury trees.
