Kallikantzaros is a mailicious goblin-like creature in Greek and Cypriot folklore...

The Kallikantzaroi dwell underground and saw the roots of the world tree, so that it will eventually collapse and destroy the earth....

The Kallikantzaroi come to the surface from December 25 to January 6, (from the winter solstice for a fortnight during which time the sun ceases its seasonal movement).

The Kallikantzaroi are creatures of the night and their name is propably derived from Its name is possibly derived from "kalos-kentauros"...

There is no standard appearance of Kallikantzaroi, there are regional differences on their appearance.

Some tales have pictured them with some animal parts, like hairy bodies, horse legs, or boar tusks, sometimes enormous, other times diminutive.

Others show them as humans of small size smelling horribly.

They are predominantly male, often with protruding sex characteristics.

Other folktales dsiplay the Kallikantzaroi as tall, black fur and/or skin, pointy ears, and a face that represents a dog.

There were ways people could protect themselves during the days when the Kallikantzaroi were loose.

They could leave a colander on their doorstep: If a Kallikantzaros approached for his evildoings, he would instead decide to sit and count the holes until the sun rose and he was forced to hide.

The Kallikantzaroi also could not count above two, since three is a holy number, and by pronouncing it, they would kill themselves.

Another method of protection is to leave the fire burning in the fireplace all night so that they cannot enter through there...

Selene is the moon goddess in Greek folklore...

She resembles a young woman with an extremely white face who travels on a silver chariot drawn by two horses.

She is often shown riding a horse or a bull.

Selene is said to wear robes, carry a torch, and wear a half moon on her head.

She was not one of the twelve great gods on Olympus...

After her brother Helios completes his journey across the sky, she begins hers.

Before Selene's journey across the night sky she bathes in the sea....

Sometimes she was said to drive a team of oxen and her lunar crescent was likened to the horns of a bull...

The seduction of Endymion is the love that brings Selene the most fame.

She fell in love with the shepard, Endymion, and seduced him while he lie sleeping in a cave.

Some sources say Endymion was a king or a hunter, rather than a shepherd.

Her seduction of Endymion resulted in the birth of fifty daughters, one of which was Naxos.

Selene's great love was the shepherd prince Endymion.

Endymion with the help of Zeus upon Selene's request chose never to grow old and to sleep eternally.

Endymion was placed in a state of eternal slumber in a cave near the peak of Lydian Mount Latmos.

There his heavenly bride descended to consort with him in the night and kissed by her rays of light....

Skadi is a female giant goddess (jötunn), daughter of Thjazi, wife of Njord...

The etymology of the name Skaði is uncertain, but may be connected with the original form of Scandinavia.

She is esteemed as a huntress and is known as the "snowshoe goddess" for her connection to the frozen wilderness.

Skadi is best known in conjunction with her husband (Njord) and her step-children (Freyr and Freyja).

Skadi is a bold and courageous female character in the Norse epics, who challenged male-dominated society by demanding that the Æsir (a clan of gods) compensate her for the death of her father...

In order to avenge the death of her father, the giant Thiazi, Skadi took up arms and went to attack the rival tribe of the gods (the Aesir) in Asgard, home of the gods.

The Aesir, wanting to appease her anger, offered her the choice of one of their number for a husband, with the stipulation that she choose a god by his legs (or feet) alone.

She chose Njörd, thinking that he was the fair god Balder; their marriage failed because Njörd preferred to live by the sea, and Skadi was happier in her father’s home in the mountains (Thrymheim).

http://bit.ly/JzFmhA

She is the goddess of  Vengeance, Righteous Anger, and is the deity who delivers the sentence upon Loki the trickster to be bound underground with a serpent dripping poison upon his face in payment for his crimes.

As with her husband, Skadi's place at Ragnarok (the Norse version of Armageddon) isn't declared.

Though a frost giant, the Asatru legend doesn't declare whether Skadi will fight alongside the other giants, the goddess Hel and her siblings the Fenris Wolf and Jormundgand the Midgard Serpent, or if she will fight with the Aesir, the valkyries and the Einherjar when the world comes to its next turning...

...Only so much was decreed by fate; the rest was up to the actions of the players...

Horae are the goddesses of the seasons and prosperity and guards of the Gates Mount Olympus, the god's home in Greek folklore...

They presided over the revolutions of the heavenly constellations by which the year was measured...

The number of Horae varied according to different sources, but was most commonly three, either the trio of Thallo, Auxo and Carpo, who were goddesses of the order of nature; or Eunomia, Diké, and Eirene, who were law-and-order goddesses.

They reflected the three forces at work in the cycle of nature. Thallas, the goddess of spring was the bringer of the flowers, a protectress of youth.

Auxo was the goddess of the summer and the growth of the crops.

Carpho was in charge of the autum, the ripening of the fruits, the harvesting.

"They bring and bestow ripeness, they come and go in accordance with the firm law of the periodicities of nature and of life", Karl Kerenyi observed: "Hora means 'the correct moment'."

Moss People are a class of fairy-folk, variously compared to dwarves, elves, or spirits, described in the folklore of Germany as having an intimate connection to trees and the forest.

In German the words Schrat and Waldschrat are also used for a moss person.

These wood-spirits are sometimes described as similar to dwarves, being the same size as children, "grey and old-looking, hairy, and clad in moss."

In other descriptions they are said to be pretty or even have butterfly wings....

You see, Moss People live by the rule that the gardens they inhabit must first embrace Mother Nature’s diversity and balance...

The variety of plants in a garden must be in harmony with the available resources and most of all the ratio of native plants to cultivated plants are equal or more...

The moss people are similar to hamadryads.

Their lives are "attached to the trees; if any one causes by friction the inner bark to loosen a Wood-woman dies...

Hobbit harmony thrives where trees are cherished, not culled and dashing chipmunks are admired, un-scolded.

Where the water runs freely and the beehives thrive, that’s where you’ll find them leading magical lives....

Māori people and their Polynesian ancestors lived close to the sea and relied on it for food and other resources.

Māori believe that water is an energy, with many moods.

It can be calm and life-giving, or dangerous and destructive.

This energy is called Tangaroa – ‘god of the sea’.

Married to Fertility Goddess Fauema, Tangaroa is often depicted with only three fingers on each hand...

After he joins his brothers Rongo, Tūmatauenga, Haumia, and Tane in the forcible separation of their parents, he is attacked by his brother Tawhirimatea, the god of storms, and forced to hide in the sea.

When Hina-a-rauriki, wife of Turia- Faumea was abducted by the demon octopus, Rogo-tumu-here, he and Turi-a-Faumea fished the monster up from the depths of the ocean and killed him, rescuing Turi-a- Faumea's wife....

Tangaroa is the father of many sea creatures...

Tangaroa in New Zealand is essentially an ocean being; his realm is the ocean. Thence, he has not the importance that Tane, Tu, and Rongo possess, but he comes next after that trio...

Cybele was the fertility goddess of Phrygia, an ancient country of Asia Minor.

In Roman folklore, Cybele personified Mother Earth...

She was also associated with forests, mountains, and nature...

Although usually shown wearing a crown in the form of a city wall or carrying a drum, Cybele may also appear on a throne or in a chariot, accompanied by lions and sometimes bees...

According to legends, Cybele discovered that her youthful lover Attis was unfaithful.

In a jealous rage, she made him go mad and perish...

Regretting what she had done, Cybele mourned her loss and as a consequence the pine tree remained sacred...

Another version tells us that Cybele really was the daughter of the Phrygian king Maeon.

She eloped with Atys since her family disagreed with their relationship, and for this he king killed Atys.

This drove Cybele mad with grief and she would let no one come near the corpse. She roamed the countryside and sang lamentations accompanied by cymbals.

Because Atys was no buried his corpse caused a plague, and on oracle said his remains must be burned to stop the epidemic.

The decay was too far gone, though, and an image of him was burned instead...

Bes is the god of music and dance, the god of war and slaughter, and a destroying force of nature in Ancient Egyptian folklore...

Bes is usually portrayed as a dwarf (large head); with lion and human features.

He is bearded with his tongue sticking out.

He has a flat nose, bushy eyebrows and hair, large projecting ears.

Around his body, he wears the skin of an animal and its tail hangs down behind him and touches the ground.

He wears on his head a tiara of feathers, suggesting an African origin.

Sometimes, he is shown playing a harp.

As a warrior he wears a short military tunic and holds a shield and a short sword...

As a strangler of animals, war god, and protector of children he may have some measure of battle prowess and agility despite his diminished size.

Bes may possess shape-shifting powers that allow him to appear either as a wily, stout dwarf or as a handsome, full-grown man, as Egyptian art has depicted him in both forms.

Bes is often shown strangling snakes (like Hercules), fending off evil with a knife, or wielding the Sa-hieroglyph meaning "protection."

BES is one of the best. He is into Home Protection, Children, Music and Mirth and can even come in amulet form as a talisman against evil spirits...

Hestia is the virgin goddess of the hearth (both private and municipal), architecture, home, the right ordering of domesticity, the family and the state.

Hestia is also the goddess of the sacrificial flame and received a share of every sacrifice to the gods.

The cooking of the communal feast of sacrificial meat was naturally a part of her domain.

The legends say that Hestia was the first born child of Kronos and Rhea who was swallowed by her father at birth.

Zeus later forced the old Titan to disgorge Hestia and her siblings.

As the first to be swallowed she was also the last to be disgorged, and so was named as both the eldest and youngest of the six Kronides.

When the gods Apollon and Poseidon sought for her hand in marriage, Hestia refused and asked Zeus to let her remain an eternal virgin.

He agreed and she took her place at his royal hearth...

Hestia was originally one of the twelve supreme gods on Mount Olympus, but she grew tired of the petty intrigues and wrangling that went on amongst the Olympians...

Ninurta is the Sumero-Babylonian god of rain, fertility, war, thunderstorms, wells, canals, floods, the plough and the South Wind.

Son of Enlil and Ninhursaga, he started off as an eagle and then asked his mum for a lion's head. But this made him aggressively unruly, so she left his wings and gave him a humanoid body.

It didn't do any good. What he liked was playing with thunderbolts and shouting war cries and smashing and killing anything he felt like...

Ninurta slays each of the monsters later known as the "Slain Heroes" (the Warrior Dragon, the Palm Tree King, Lord Saman-ana, the Bison-beast, the Mermaid, the Seven-headed Snake, the Six-headed Wild Ram), and despoils them of valuable items such as Gypsum, Strong Copper, and the Magilum boat...

He has a magic weapon known as Sarur and a doubleedged scimitar. Some say that these weapons, Sarur and Sargaz, were cyclones which he controlled. Eventually, Ninurta killed Anzû ivy these weapons...

Dike is the spirit of moral order and fair judgement based on immemorial custom, in the sense of socially enforced norms and conventional rules in Greek folklore.

She's one of the HORAE and was born as a human to keep the peace on Earth. When this didn't work, Zeus resorted to Plan B and dragged her up to Mount Olympus instead.

Dike is one of the Nymphs that make up the Horae.

The Horae were originally seen as personifications of the changing seasons and the forces of nature but later the Horae became goddesses in their own right.

The Horae were depicted as being at the gates of Olympus and alongside Zeus.

"…listen to right and do not foster violence…The better path is to go by on the other side towards Justice; for Justice beats Outrage when she comes at length to the end of the race…" (Hesiod, Works and Days, 214ff.).

Flora is the Roman goddess of Flowers, Springtime, and Sex--Fertility...

She is quite ancient; the Sabines are said to have named a month for Her (which corresponds to our and the Roman April), and She was known among the Samnites as well as the Oscans, where She was called Flusia.

Titus Tatius (according to tradition, the Sabine king who ruled with Romulus) is said to have introduced her cult to Rome; her temple stood near the Circus Maximus. Her festival, called the Floralia, was instituted in 238 bc. A representation of Flora’s head, distinguished only by a floral crown, appeared on coins of the republic. Her name survives in the botanical term for vegetation of a particular environment.

http://bit.ly/KB3XFf

Flora is usually depicted by the Romans wearing light spring clothing, holding small bouquets of flowers, sometimes crowned with blossoms.

She is sometimes called the handmaiden of Ceres.

Ovid identifies Her with the Greek flower-nymph Chloris, whose name means "yellow or pale green", the color of Spring....

Kikimora is the Slavic and Russian goddess of the Home; She rules over all aspects of housekeeping and the cooking.

She sets up Her home in the basement or behind the stove.

She is known in some locations as the wife of the house god, Domova.

She also correlates with dreams and nightmare...

The Kikimora also keep people awake at night by tickling them in their sleep and making whistling noises.

There is a different kind of Kikimoras that inhabits the forest or lives in the swamp.

The Swamp Kikimora is the wife of Leshy.

Her presence can be recognized by wet footprints.

In some tales, she looks like an average woman with her hair down. (Married Slavic women typically kept their hair covered, and young unmarried girls kept it braided.)

She may also be described as a small humpbacked woman in dirty clothes...

Kuarahy Jára is humanoid beast in Guarani Folklore...

Pombéro is ugly, hairy dwarf or spirit with hairy hands and feet...

He was also killed by Porâsy, but similar dwarves are still told about in Guarani stories today, usually by the name Pombéro.

The legend, along with other mythological figures from the Guaraní, is an important part of the culture in the region spanning from northeast Argentina northward through the whole of Paraguay and southern Brazil.

Pombero's original name in the Guaraní language is Kuarahy Jára, literally "Owner of the Sun", though he is said to be a primarily nocturnal creature...

He is also often described as wearing a large hat and carrying a knapsack over his shoulder.

It is also said that the Pombero generally dwells in rural areas, living in the forest, although he will sometimes choose to inhabit an abandoned house...

Among his favourite activities are setting loose cattle, stealing eggs, chicken and honey, frightening horses and causing them to throw their riders off, as well as scattering corn, rice, or other provisions...

As a forest dweller, the Pombero is said to be able to imitate the sounds of various forest creatures.

Most specifically it is believed that the Pombero can imitate birdsong, especially those of a nocturnal variety, and as such is viewed as something of a protector of the birds.

One common aspect of the legends among various Guaraní based societies is that the Pombero protects the birds from children who hunt them with slingshots.

Many witnesses of the Pombero say that before he appears he whistles.

Most are so frightened of gathering his wrath that they never whistle again.

The Pombero is difficult, if not impossible, to detect due to his silent movements as well as other supernatural abilities, such as being able to turn invisible, squeeze through impossibly narrow spaces, or other such feats.

It is said that one can keep the Pombero from engaging in such mischief by leaving gifts out for him, most specifically cigars and rum, though honey is also an acceptable offering.

Thus appeased, the Pombero will abstain from wreaking havoc upon one's home and possessions.

In some areas it is believed that repeated giving of these gifts can cause the Pombero to become friendly, to the point where he will guard over one's home, animals, and possessions, and sometimes even leave gifts in return.

This Pombéro is less evil than the original Kurupi-- he is more of a mischief-maker than a monster, and may even help humans who leave gifts for him-- but women and girls still need to be careful not to get touched by this being...

Bragi is the god of poetry in Norse folklore...

He is the son of Odin and the husband of Idun, the goddess of fertility.

At his birth, the dwarfs gave Bragi a golden harp and set him afloat in a boat, which carried him out of the subterranean darkness, whereupon he began to sing and play the harp.

Landing, he walked through the woods and met Idun whom he married and they went off to Valhalla where he became the god of poetry and music...

Described as an old man with a long beard, Bragi welcomed the warriors who had died in battle to Valhalla...

Bragi is the divine archetype of ancient Germanic court poets such as Unferð in Beowulf.

According to the Prose Edda, one of the Old Norse words for “poetry” (bragr) is derived from the name of this god...

Bragi had close ties to Odin.

Both are gods of poetry, and both were associated with royal funeral services, when a "cup of Bragi" was used to drink to the honor of a dead king.

In addition, the two gods were often referred to as "long-bearded." Some scholars think that Bragi might have been the deified version of Bragi Boddason, a Norwegian poet of the 800s....

Khepri is associated with the dung beetle (kheper), whose behavior of maintaining spherical balls of dung represents the forces which move the sun in Ancient Egyptian folklore...

Khepri gradually came to be considered as an embodiment of the sun itself, and therefore was a solar deity.

To explain where the sun goes at night, such pushing was extended to the underworld, Khepri's pushing of the sun being ceaseless...

The subsequent hatching of the eggs from this seemingly unpromising material lead to the Egyptians associating the scarab with renewal, rebirth and resurrection.

The scarab's habit of rolling up dung into spheres and pushing it across the ground was also noted by the Ancient Egyptians.

Khepri was often associated with the Sun and was conceived as a gigantic scarab rolling the Sun before him across the sky.

The renewal and rebirth associated with the scarab also came into play here.

Khepri renewed the Sun each day before rolling it above the horizon and carried it safely through the other world after sunset to renew it the next day.

Khepri was variously represented as a scarab, a man with the face of a scarab and a man whose head was surmounted by a scarab...

http://bit.ly/Rc8i4q

Khepri was soon seen as an aspect of the sun itself, in particular the sun at day break - when it "emerged" from the underworld.

He was closely associated with Atum, Nefertum (literally "young Atum" or "beautiful Atum") and Ra (who absorbed many of Atum's attributes).

Khepri was the emerging sun, Nefertum was the new born sun, Ra was the sun during the day, and Atum was the setting sun.

in later funerary texts, Atum and Khepri merged into a ram-headed beetle who was the ultimate expression of the power of life over death.

He is first mentioned in the Pyramid Texts but may well have been well known for some time before that because crude scarabs have been recovered which date from the Neolithic period (7000-5000 BC). Khepri´s popularity was at its height during the New Kingdom....

'Devil's small horses' In Cantabria (northern Spain), it is told that those creatures appear with a terrific cry at Saint John's Eve, amongst fire and smoke...

They are seven winged horses, of seven different colours: red, orange, yellow, white, black, blue and green...

The red one is the strongest, and their leader... He was a man who lent money to farmers and then used dirty tricks to steal their properties...

The white one a miller who stole many thousands of euros from his master...

The black one a hermit who played tricks on people...

The yellow one a corrupt judge...

The blue one an innkeeper...

The orange one was a little one who abused his parents...

All the horses are mounted by demons...

During this one night, they roam the land, in search of four-leaf clovers, that are rare, and considered as powerful lucky charms...

The mission of the horses and riders is to destroy as many four-leaf clovers as they can find, to avoid people searching them next morning to benefit from this gift...

Nabu is the Mesopotamian (Sumerian and Babylonian; Assyrian, Akkadian) god of wisdom.

He is the son of Marduk and Sarpanitu.

He invented the art of writing and recorded all knowledge on clay tablets.

His ship was known as Iddahedu.

Originally, Nabu was a West Semitic deity introduced by the Amorites into Mesopotamia, probably at the same time as Marduk shortly after 2000 BC.

While Marduk became Babylon's main deity, Nabu resided in nearby Borsippa in his temple E-zida.

He was first called the "scribe and minister of Marduk", later assimilated as Marduk's beloved son from Sarpanitum.

During the Babylonian New Year Festival, the cult statue of Nabu was transported from Borsippa to Babylon in order to commune with his father Marduk...

In late Babylonian astrology, Nabu was connected with the planet Mercury.

As the god of wisdom and writing, he was equated by the Greeks to either Apollo or Hermes, the latter identified by the Romans with their own god Mercury.

Nabu is mentioned in the Nevi'im of the Tanakh as Nebo in Isaiah 46:1
