Saying these words he put on a coat of birch-bark, on his feet shoes of bark and took his birch-bark hat. Dressed in this strange way he could more easily be taken for a tree than a man.
The farmer thanked his hostess for her hospitality and bade Forest-Mother goodbye. At parting she gave him a box out of birch-bark to take home for his wife.

Then they started to go.

Though his guide appeared to be old, he walked so swiftly that the farmer could not keep up with him even when he was half-running, and begged him several times to walk more slowly.
“That is nothing!” Was the laughing answer. “You should see me when I walk quickly!”

When the two men had reached the borders of the forest, the Forest-Father remarked: “From here you may go home alone; now it is impossible to get lost!”

The farmer begged that the friendly Forest-Father would visit his home and be his guest for the rest of the day, but the Forest-Father shook his head and said: “No! Here is the end of my boundary and on the other side of it I have nothing to do! Soon it will be noon and the Old Mother will be waiting for me!”

And the Forest-Father was gone.

The "Endovelicus portal" (Portugal) is alleged to be of the place of worship of Endovelicus, the ancient god of the Underworld, wealth, and afterlife in the Iberian Peninsula.

In Galicia, dolmens, menhirs etc. are usually attributed to A Vella (the hag), an ancient goddess similar to Gaelic Cailleach.
She is said to carry these wide stones on her head (sometimes on her apron), while she spins on a spindle.

‘Eric of the Windy Hat' was a Swedish King, who could change the direction of the wind merely by turning his hat in the direction he wished it to blow. Eric achieved this by summoning a weather spirit/entity that did his bidding.

The Father Rhine altar from Argentoratum (Strasbourg), the only known reference to the Rhine river as father (of many tributaries).

"The women of the Celtic tribes are bigger and stronger than our Roman women. This is most likely due to their natures as well as their peculiar fondness of all things martial and robust.
The flaxen haired maidens of the north are trained in sports and war, while our gentle ladies are content to do their womanly duties and thus are less powerful than most young girls from Gaul and the hinterlands."

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Emperor of Rome, 161-180 CE.

"Here the women met then holding swords and axes in their hands. With hideous shrieks of rage they tried to drive back the hunted and the hunters. With bare hands the women tore away the shields of the Romans or grasped their swords, enduring mutilating wounds."

Plutarch

"A whole band of foreigners will be unable to cope with one Gaul in a fight if he calls in his wife... least of all when she swells her neck and gnashes her teeth, and... begins to rain blows mingled with kicks, like shots discharged by the catapult."

Ammianus Marcellinus
