Cofgod
/ˈkoːfˌɡod/
'Cofgod' (plural Cofgodas ("cove-gods")) was an Old English term for a household god in Anglo-Saxon paganism.
The Classicist Ken Dowden opined that the cofgodas were the equivalent of the Penates found in Ancient Rome. Dowden also compared them to the Kobolds of later German folklore, arguing that they had both originated from the kofewalt, a spirit that had power over a room. If it is true that such beings were known to the early English, later legendary beings such as the English hob and Anglo-Celtic brownie would be the modern survival of the cofgod.

This is specifically on Polish Slavic traditional wedding wear, but in all Slavic nations, women were known to wear flower crowns. The tradition of the flower crown is very ancient in Europe, and I personally do not believe that all European/indo-European nations got their flower crown idea from the Romans. Flower crowns were worn by Europeans long before the Romans came on the scene. https://www.google.com/amp/s/lamusdworski.wordpress.com/2017/02/26/flower-crowns/amp/

Beekeepers kept the custom of Telling the Bees any events in the family, especially of any deaths.
If the beekeeper died the surviving spouse or oldest son would knock on the hive 3 times & say “Little bees, our lord is dead, leave not while we are in distress."

The Wise Woman & The Faery.
Here I have retold a traditional story about a midwife or wisewoman, as they were called in ancient times, and her encounter with the faery realm. As you will find, the woman does in fact attain a kind of wisdom through her strange experience.
