As a daughter of Haumea and Kāne, Hiʻiaka is part of the divine family in ancient Hawaiian cosmology.
Akua
Akua is the Hawaiian common noun for a god, deity, or divine being; in the provided sources it functions as a lexical category applied to indigenous Hawaiian deities and as the translation-term for the Christian God in Hawaiian-language liturgy and scripture.
Pele
Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of fire, lightning, wind, and volcanoes, traditionally credited in Hawaiian narratives as the creator of the Hawaiian Islands and addressed with honorifics such as "Madame Pele" and "Tūtū Pele." She figures in genealogies of Hawaiian deities and in myths that explain volcanic activity and island formation.
Hitogami (Arahitogami)
Hitogami, often rendered Arahitogami (現人神), is a term in Shinto denoting a kami who is a human being — a divinity identified with or embodied in a human. The term is attested in classical Japanese sources such as the Nihon Shoki and is treated in modern reference works as a category of Shinto deity.
Hitorigami
Hitorigami (独神) are a class of solitary-origin kami in Shinto cosmogony who 'came into being alone' rather than as male–female pairs. They are primordial, often hidden deities named in early texts (e.g., the Kojiki) and include figures such as Ame‑no‑Minakanushi and Kuni‑no‑Tokotachi.
Hitotsume-kozō
A class of Japanese yōkai depicted as a bald child or young monk with a single central eye; typically a mischievous, comparatively harmless apparition that startles people and appears in Edo-period picture-books, local tales, and calendar-based folk practices.
Hitotsume-nyūdō
A Japanese yōkai appearing as a one‑eyed ōnyūdō (large monk). Found in roadside and procession narratives, it is variously explained as an autonomous monkish spirit, a transformed or admonishing monk figure from Mount Hiei, or as a kitsune/tanuki disguise in local traditions.
Hiyang Athouba
A Meitei folkloric phenomenon in which a human corpse is said to transform into a demon-like, monstrous or vampire-like being. Described in folktales as arising from unattended or improperly tended deaths and usually reverted by daybreak or ended by proper funerary action.
Hoaki
The supplied sources do not document Hoaki as a folkloric supernatural being. Most occurrences of the string "Hoaki" in the corpus are modern commercial or publishing names (e.g., Hoaki Books, imprint hoaki); one fragmentary Hocąk (Ho-Chunk) language text contains the sequence "Hoaki" but is unglossed and too incomplete to establish a mythic referent.
Hob
A household and local helpful spirit in northern English / northern Britain folklore, the hob is a capricious but essentially kindly presence associated with farms, households, and named local sites (e.g., 'hob-holes'). Hobs assist with domestic labour and healing when kept on good terms, but may withdraw their help if offended by particular actions (notably the gift of clothing).
Hobbit
A fictional, short-statured race of people created by J. R. R. Tolkien in his Middle-earth legendarium; rural, domestic, and culturally anachronistic within the imagined past, noted for homely underground dwellings and ordinary courage in extraordinary circumstances.
Hobgoblin
A household spirit from English folklore that traditionally performs domestic chores for a family in return for simple food but is also prone to practical jokes and mischief; accounts vary regionally and over time, and Christian influence is reported to have shifted popular descriptions toward greater mischief.
Hod (Kabbalah)
Hod (Hebrew הוֹד, Hōḏ) is the eighth sephira on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, traditionally rendered as 'majesty, splendour, glory'. In classical and later Kabbalistic schemata it functions as an abstract divine emanation or attribute concerned with form, order, and the structuring of intellect; later occult writers add correspondences such as Mercury and tarot links.
