Éowyn, Shieldmaiden of Rohan

Couldn’t forget to include the Sami kids in indigenous European family tree. Sorry if I missed some. It was not intentional. There are so many different European nations, and cultures, south, north, west and east Europeans. Too many to list.

Spell crafting

"Sunday" is derived from the Old English Sunne ("Sunnandæg"), in the typical tradition of naming the days of the week after the Germanic Deities. The same pattern can be seen in Latin, diēs sōlis, or the Ancient Greek Hλίου ημέρα ("helíou 'eméra").

This is well known. However, what is less well known is the discrepancy between the Germanic and other Indo-European religious traditions in relation to the Sun deity. In Germanic traditions, the Sun is feminine (Old English: Sunne; Old Norse: Sól; Old High German: Sunna), whereas, in the other traditions, the Sun is personified as a male deity (Sanskrit: Suryā, सूर्य; Greek: Hēlios).
