		Holda also has been honored as a goddess of the moon, and sometimes her name has been used as a term for a lunar priestess.
		It was said that as Holda and her entourage passed through the fields, they blessed the land with abundance and caused a double harvest in the growing season that followed.
		Holda and Perchta probably emerged as local variants of the same goddess-turned-folk character, since both sometimes appear in tales as hunched-backed crones and bogey figures, punishing or blessing adults as well as children for bad or good behaviors, at Yuletide and at other times of the year.

	Frige or Frigga Anglo-Saxon Goddess

		Holda is in all essences, a female counterpart to Wóden, like him she leads the Wild Hunt, like him she recieves dead souls, and like him she uses magic, but particularly a form of magic more closely associated with galdor than Freo's seiðr.

	Holda

		Holda's sacred season is the time between Yule and New Year's; formerly, I would assume, the twelve days after the Solstice.
