Across source traditions the Earth goddess is the deified or personified Earth that occupies the role of the living ground or soil within a culture's cosmology. Sources summarize the category as deifications of the Earth tied to chthonic attributes and often paired or contrasted with sky or solar divinities (e.g., the Sumerian example Ki is attested as the earth goddess and chief consort of the sky god An). Earth goddesses are frequently presented as progenitors, consorts in creation narratives, or primal beings responsible for fertility, materiality (soil, crops, stones), and the generative cycles of life and death (Sources: Wikipedia list; Wikidata; Ki entry; Europeana discussion of festival continuity).
The provided sources do not establish a single pan-cultural corporeal form for Earth goddesses; mythic texts treat them primarily as conceptual personifications rather than fixed supernatural physiques. Modern and artistic representations vary: for example, Sandy Brown's Earth Goddess sculpture in St Austell, Cornwall, contemporary watercolors titled 'Mother Nature' and other artworks, and sculptural work by Jean Pallas render earth‑goddess imagery often in maternal or fertility iconography (Sources: Wikipedia sculpture page; absolutearts listing; JPallas site). These artistic depictions reflect cultural visualization rather than a uniform mythic description (Source: Wikipedia list).
Sources associate Earth goddesses broadly with chthonic and underworld attributes, fertility, growth, decay, and nurturing maternal roles rather than enumerating specific supernatural powers. The category is described as connected to fertility and the chthonic deities of the underworld, and individual exemplars (such as Ki in Sumerian religion) occupy generative and relational roles within creation myths as consorts or progenitors (Sources: Wikipedia list; Wikidata; Ki entry; Europeana on ritual continuity). Modern receptions (games, commercial products, and contemporary art) adapt these symbolic functions but do not supply traditional lists of magical abilities (Sources: Chaosium product listing; The Quantum Awakening product page; vintage RPG commentary).

*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.
