Our ancestors believed the trees, rivers, mountains, stones and animals had souls. These nature spirits were eventually deified and came to be the gods and goddesses as we know them today. For those who need a reference to gods and goddesses and their magical plant associations, here’s our A-Z list. The deities are not categorized by culture or origin. Knowing the magical plants associated with your deities will help you learn, as well as give ideas of appropriate offerings. If your god or goddess isn’t included, please leave a comment.

Holle is not Hel. Holle is an older god than Odin and Thor. For you to look into German beliefs from an outside perspective and say “oh I want that god to be like this one” is the same problem the Romans had.

Where is there any reference to Holle being Hel in this article? I’m confused. And I’m pretty certain I’ve never said they were the same deity.
