No continuous mythic origin is evidenced in the provided sources. The name Caelia is employed in at least two discrete literary contexts: in Richard Johnson's romance Tom a Lincoln Caelia (also spelled Celia) rules an island called 'Fairy Land' populated by women and becomes the mother of Tom's son, the Faerie Knight; in Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene Caelia is an allegorical ruler of the House of Holiness and mother of the personified virtues Faith, Hope and Charity (Fidelia, Speranza, Charissa). Separately, Caelia appears as a Roman gens name in onomastic records, indicating classical onomastic usage rather than a single supernatural origin.
The provided sources supply no consistent physical description of Caelia as a supernatural appearance. In Johnson's romance she is presented in narrative as a queen and maternal figure who rules an all-woman polity; in Spenser she is portrayed as the matronly ruler of the House of Holiness and mother to allegorical daughters. Early modern broadsides and songs that use the name Celia/Caelia cast her as a beloved or romantic addressee rather than offering supernatural iconography.
Sources do not attribute specific magical powers or ritual capacities to Caelia. In narrative function she exercises political/social authority (ruler of an island in Tom a Lincoln), sexual/maternal agency (bearing Tom's son), and personal emotional agency (her suicide when she believes Tom has abandoned her). In Spenser's allegory she functions pedagogically and therapeutically: Caelia, with her daughters Faith, Hope and Charity, aids the Redcrosse Knight's restoration of holiness and moral strength. Other literary references use the name for a human beloved in song and poetry rather than implying supernatural abilities.

*Perkʷūnos
*Perkʷūnos is the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European thunder‑god hypothesized by comparative linguistics and mythology. Scholarly reconstructions portray him as a storm or thunder figure associated with fructifying rain and as the combatant who fights a multi‑headed water‑serpent to release life‑giving waters; no direct attestations from the Proto‑Indo‑European period survive and the figure is inferred from later Indo‑European traditions.
*Péh₂usōn (reconstructed)
Péh₂usōn is a hypothetical Proto‑Indo‑European pastoral guardian reconstructed by comparative scholars from parallels in Greek and Vedic traditions. Proposed as a Graeco‑Aryan ancestor‑figure, the reconstruction describes a protector of flocks, roads, and travellers rather than an attested historical cultic personality.

A Elbereth Gilthoniel
An Elvish hymn in Sindarin addressed to Elbereth (Varda) from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium.
