In Irish mythology, Carman was a goddess of evil magic. Her three sons were Dub ("darkness"), Dother ("evil") and Dian ("violence"). They rampaged through Ireland.
The Tuatha Dé Danann 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.
In historical times a festival named after her, Óenach Carman, was held in Wexford.
