| God name "Tremerius" | Roman | River god. The deity of the river Tiber. His consort is one of the Vestal Virgins sacrificed by drowning. His sanctuary was built on an island in the river and, until some time during the Republican period, all bridges across the river were made wholly of wood so as not to offend him. The adverse connotations of iron are unclear, but its use was forbidden by official decree.... |

"Urda Urdan" | Scandinavian | Urda or Urdan Fount. The sacred fount of light and heat, situated over the Rainbow Bridge, Bifrost. Scandinavian |
"White Ladies" | Normandy | A species of fee in Normandy. They lurk in ravines, fords, bridges, and other narrow påśśes, and ask the påśśenger to dance. If they receive a courteous answer, well; but if a refusal, they seize the churl and fling him into a ditch, where thorns and briars may serve to teach him gentleness of manners. |
