Pekko

It's been a while since I did a DotD.

Today's, I'm going to introduce you to Pekko. Pekko, also known as Peko, Pellon-Pekko, Pellonpekko and Pellervo, is the God of fields and crops. He protects all growing crops and encourages them to grow.

He can easily be petitioned by offering him beer, or growing beer crops (such as barley).

Madderakka

Yup, another Finnisah diety of the day. Madderakka, also known as Madder-Akka, or Maderakka, is the mother goddess of childbirth. With her daughters, she was responsible for the welfare of the baby from conception. The four of them--Madderakka and her daughters--were responsible for inspiring parents for baby names.

Madderakka may be a side of Akka, the main female Finnish diety, but this is uncertain.

Akka

Akka, also known as Maan-Emo, Maa-Emoinen, Rauni, Ravdna and Roonikka, is a Finnish Earth Goddess. In fact, she is THE Earth Mother Goddesses. She was the consort of the god Ukko, and is the main goddesses of the Fins. She is the goddess of fertility, sexuality, and strength.
If you are doing Earth magic—kitchen witchery, planting, ect—she is a great Goddess to call on. You can also call on her when harvesting, as this is another aspect of her.
Her sacred tree is the Rowan.

Her name, Akka, means “woman” or “female”.

Otava

I have nothing else to talk about, so I'm going to randomly select a pantheon and deitiy. No, I'm not just talking about the deity of the day in my sidebar, you can click that one for yourself.

Today's Deitiy: Otava
Pantheon: Finnish
Sex: Male

Otava is the Finnish name for the constellation Ursa Major, or Great Bear. So, Otava is the controlling force for the contellation.
