Alpine Mother Earth, Saint Notburga
Saint Notburga is an Austrian and Alpine Folk Saint, actually many Folk Saints varying from a version of a Divine Princess Seer atop a White Stag, to a Mary type figure with many children, and even a harvest figure with a symbol of the moon. Though predominantly what these figures are connected by is the name Notburga (The Protector) and the fact that her story ends with being pulled by two White Oxen across a River to the land of the dead. This figure has never officially been canonized but has numerous pagan traces including elements of Perchta of which she shares a sacred lake with, the image of many children recalls the role of Holle in guardian of Infant Souls, while much of the rest of her myth is suspiciously similar to the Myths of Hertha (Nerthus), and her role seems to combine all three goddesses and more to become somewhat of a protector and fertility figure of the Alps both of Austria and Southern Germany. Becoming like Hertha a Mother Earth style figure.-TLK

Lord of the Wild Dead, Sinterklaas
Sinterklaas, and I mean Sinterklaas; as St. Nicholas of Southern Europe has little to do with this Germanic figure, the boy saint is not the Hirsute leader of wildmen.
Placed over numerous gods from Woden and Fro to Krampus and Veles and even the King of Elves! Save the contorted name nothing is left of his former self engulfed in pagan symbolism. At Yuletide he rides the Wild Hunt, in the Alps he walks alongside Krampus the Wild God replete with his retinue of dead, his baby face covered in a voluminous beard, his youth faded for the visage of a stern elder. He rules the land of sunshine the Germanics know as the land of the dead, sailing aboard a ship in the Netherlands just as people once ferried the souls of the dead at the sea shore of continental Europe, from "his" cornucopia he distributes gifts of fertility and wealth the same as Hades, Rubezahl, Cernunnos, Fro and many other "Lords of the Dead". Soot covered the dead join his retinue, how "Christian".-TLK

Babe The Big Blue Ox
Babe The Big Blue Ox is a staple of American folklore, the constant companion of Paul Bunyan, Babe is every bit as famous as Paul. Various tales of how he got his unnatural coloration have popped over the years, one says it was a specific kind of magic blueberry, while another says he was frozen solid during the winter of the blue snow, others speak of being blessed by the moon, or even being carved out of Mountain Stone. Babe was strong enough to pull a river straight and wrestle Paul hard enough to build mountain ranges and create the Northern Lights, he was so big that The Bald Eagle wasn't Bald until it tried to fly from one end of Babe's horns to the other. Babe is not the only name the Blue Ox has had, as some will claim his name is Benny. Nor is he the only cattle that Paul owned, there was also Lucy the Giant Milking Cow, and his herd of giant oxen that he would ride across the Frozen Pacific to bring Snow and winter to logging camps.
Babe loves Sourdough Donuts.-TLK
