What is another name for Banshee that BadB is compared to because of her shrieking?
Badb In Irish mythology, the Badb (Old Irish, ] ) or Badhbh (Modern Irish, ] )—meaning "crow"—is a war goddess who takes the form of a crow, and is thus sometimes known as Badb Catha ("battle crow"). She is known to cause fear and confusion among soldiers to move the tide of battle to her favoured side. Badb may also appear prior to a battle to foreshadow the extent of the carnage to come, or to predict the death of a notable person. She would sometimes do this through wailing cries, leading to comparisons with the bean-sídhe (banshee).
Dhumavati Dhumavati (Sanskrit: धूमावती , Dhūmāvatī , literally "the smoky one") is one of the Mahavidyas, a group of ten Tantric goddesses. Dhumavati represents the fearsome aspect of Devi, the Hindu Divine Mother. She is often portrayed as an old, ugly widow, and is associated with things considered inauspicious and unattractive in Hinduism, such as the crow and the "Chaturmas" period. The goddess is often depicted on a horseless chariot or riding a crow, usually in a cremation ground.
