The Norse god Heimdahl is not only associated with the rooster, he is also linked to the Ram. Heimdali- a head butt in viking days might be described as the 'sword of Heimdahl'. We have no way to tell if this God took his name from the ram , or vice versa, or even if the names are a chance pun in differing dialects, given added color by later scalds. If Heimdahl is considered a Ram-god, then his time would probably have been the years end. To this day , in Baltic countries, some villages maintain the tradition of a ram effigy in for or wicker, the kekripukki, assembled in the autumn months and dragged in a parade, before in a spectacular November conflagration.
The myth of the Asón Cascade of Cantabria

In front of the falls is a cave home to 2 sister nymphs. A cheerful one with silver hair, and a less outgoing one with golden hair. The falling water is believed to represent the pure silver and hair of the cheerful nymph, and the noise is her musical laughter. Wanting to bring tranquility to the local inhabitants, the golden haired nymph tried to alleviate her sister's commotion by moving her as she slept, through cabilistic words and signs, right into the source of the river. As it was moonless, she never noticed the silver hair floating in the air. Ever since, the silver haired nymph is imprisoned at this source, and the falling water would turn wineskins and pots into fresh water of those who offer to it

When the golden haired nymph tried to save her sister from this imprisonment, it so happened she forgot the ritual. For centuries, she searches for the arcanum that will finally return her sister to eternal awakening.
