1 1 ENT_REC_BAPHOMET_LEVI Baphomet (Lévi) 19th-century occultism Personified Abstraction magic; occult synthesis; polarity; wisdom; modern reception Androgynous, goat-headed figure invented by Éliphas Lévi in Dogme et rituel de la haute magie (1854-1856) as a symbol of the occult absolute: the synthesis of all opposites (male/female, good/evil, matter/spirit). Lévi drew on the Templar trial accusations of 1307-1314 (in which the Knights Templar were charged with worshipping "Baphomet") but wholly transformed the figure — his Baphomet is a Hermetic and Kabbalistic symbol of universal polarity, not a continuation of any medieval cult. Hutton (1999) and Hanegraaff (2006) confirm no ancient deity "Baphomet" existed; the name and figure are Lévi's 19th-century creation. Later adapted by the Church of Satan (LaVey, 1966) and by various Wiccan and ceremonial-magic traditions.
2 2 ENT_ASX_WODEN Woden Anglo-Saxon sky/sovereign deity war, wisdom, kingship, the dead Chief god; head of most Anglo-Saxon royal genealogies (West Saxon, Mercian lines) and named in the Nine Herbs Charm. Old English cognate of Norse Odin.
3 3 ENT_ARM_NANE Nane Armenian War Deity war; motherhood; wisdom; protection; weaving; divine justice Goddess of war and motherhood; daughter of Aramazd. Agathangelos (§22) explicitly equates Nane with Athena: "Nane, the daughter of Aramazd, who is called Athena among the Greeks; she is the mother of virtues, the teacher of virtue, who bestows wisdom and valor." Her temple was at Tiliē. The name Nane connects with the Mesopotamian mother goddess Nana (Sumerian Nanna; also the name of a minor Zoroastrian deity) and may represent a survival of the pre-Iranian Anatolian divine mother tradition in Armenia. In Agathangelos she is the only female deity besides Anahit, taking the martial-wisdom domain while Anahit holds fertility-love-war. The pairing Aramazd-Anahit-Nane as father and two daughters is a defining feature of the Armenian divine family. Russell (1987) pp. 322-340; Agathangelos §22; Khorenatsi II.12.
4 4 ENT_ARM_TIR Tir Armenian Wisdom Deity writing; wisdom; arts; dreams; scribal craft; knowledge; records Deity of writing, wisdom, and the arts; scribe of Aramazd and reader of souls. Agathangelos (§22) explicitly equates Tir with Hermes: "Tir, whom they call the scribe of Aramazd, who is called Hermes by the Greeks and Apollo by others; he who is the interpreter of dreams and the teacher of the arts of writing, who records human deeds." His temple was at Artashat, the Artaxiad capital. Tir's function as recorder of human deeds and interpreter of dreams reflects Iranian Tishtrya (the star Sirius, deity of rain and fate) and Mesopotamian scribal deities; his identification with Hermes-Mercury reflects the Hellenistic layer. The name Tir may derive from Avestan Tishtrya or from a Parthian intermediary. His dual identification with Hermes and Apollo in Agathangelos reflects the breadth of his scribal-artistic-prophetic domain. Russell (1987) pp. 380-440; Agathangelos §22.

Son of Ilmatar, the air spirit who floated on the primordial sea. Väinämöinen spent 700 years in his mother's womb before emerging as an already-old man with full wisdom. He is the greatest singer in the world — his kantele (Finnish harp, which he carves from a pike's jaw) has magical power over nature and humans. The Kalevala's main narrative follows Väinämöinen's quest for the Sampo (a magical mill), his contests of wisdom and music, his descent to the realm of the dead (Tuonela) to retrieve knowledge, and his conflicts with the sorceress Louhi. He is a paradigmatic shaman figure in the tradition described by Eliade — capable of soul-journey, magical singing, and cosmogonic action. At the end of the Kalevala (Runo 50) he departs in his boat to a realm between sky and earth, promising to return when needed. Pentikäinen (1999) pp. 148-220; Kalevala Runos 1-3, 16-17, 26-30.
