Rozhanitsa (12 Century East Slavs, Russia) In 12th century Russia, the eastern Slavs worshiped the winter mother goddess, Rozhnitsa, offering her honey, bread and cheese. Bright colored winter embroideries depicting the antlered goddess were made in her honor and white, deer-shaped cookies were given as lucky gifts. Some Russian women continued the observation of these traditions into the 20th century.
According to some sources, this goddess replaced the original Slavic goddess of winter which was Morana, Marzanna, Mortzana, Mora, Marena.

The Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Wessex (i.e. “West Saxons”); map showing extent by AD 878 and purported golden dragon flag. 🏴
A compelling theory exists, which posits that Wessex started out not as an Anglo-Saxon kingdom, but as a Celtic or Romano-British one. This notion is based on the names of the earliest rulers, which are not Germanic, but indisputably Celtic. The first known king was Cerdic (Welsh: Ceretic or Caradog), followed by his son Cynric (Welsh: Cynwrig), then Ceawlin (Welsh: Coelin). These men are described in Anglo-Saxon sources as having familial relations with others who did have Germanic names, such as Ceol, Cutha, Ceolwulf, etc. Ceawlin was deposed by Ceol at some point, after which kings with Germanic names become the norm, with the exceptions of Cynegils (Welsh: Cynglas) and Caedwalla (Welsh: Cadwallon). The name of Cerdic’s father or ancestor in several Anglo-Saxon genealogies is also curious: Elesa. It is remarkably similar to the Greek name Elaphus, (“deer”) found in Bede and in Constantine of Lyon’s Life of Germanus. Elaphus was recorded as an early Romano-British ruler who met St. Germanus of Auxerre during the latter’s visit to Britain in AD 446.
For this theory to be correct, the traditions of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and other texts as to the origins of Wessex would have to have been partially fabricated, and the dates for many early events inaccurate (i.e. having occurred much later). The theory would envision a scenario in which there was a Romano-British kingdom somewhere in southern England that formed marriage alliances with Saxons who’d settled within its territory, probably in the upper Thames area. The Saxons perhaps laid claim to the throne through their mixed descent, when the last Celtic king, Ceawlin, was overthrown by his half-Saxon nephew Ceol (grandson of Cynric), who then perhaps elevated his kinfolk to elite status, thereby leading to a sort of “Germanization” of the kingdom.
