Breaking the rules here slightly! Holda is only known from German and continental folklore. However she is a popular goddess among modern pagans so Thorskegga has bowed to pressure and included her in the series.
Holda is shown here in her aspect of the housewife/crone. She is shaking her feather bed and the flying feathers full to earth as snowflakes. At the top corners the flax stems and flax wooden flax knives represent Holda's ability to cause lightning.
Apples represent Holda's influence over human fertiliy. She is also beleived to waken the apple trees in the Spring and make them fruitful.
