Christian tradition locates the Spirit in the Godhead from the beginning: Hebrew scriptures speak of ruach (Spirit/breath) active in creation (Genesis 1:2), and New Testament and creedal formulations present the Holy Spirit as the third Person of the one God. Trinitarian doctrine treats the Spirit as proceeding from the Father (and in Western Latin theology also from the Son — the filioque formulation), while sources note nontrinitarian Christians reject the Trinitarian personhood without detailing alternative accounts.
Scriptural and iconographic traditions present the Spirit through symbolic theophanies — breath/wind language (Hebrew ruach, Greek pneuma), a dove at Jesus' baptism, and tongues of fire at Pentecost. These are presented in sources as symbolic or theophanic images rather than a permanent corporeal form.
Sources attribute to the Holy Spirit roles grounded in scripture and creed: present at creation as the animating Spirit, inspirer of prophecy (ruach ha‑kodesh), agent in the incarnation and baptism of Jesus, Paraclete or Spirit of Truth who guides and instructs, and bestower of the Spirit upon the Church (Pentecost) with baptizing and sanctifying functions. Liturgical and creedal language (e.g., Nicene Creed: 'the Lord, the Giver of Life') underpins these theological functions.

Hoderi (Umisachi-hiko)
Hoderi, also called Umisachi-hiko in some accounts, is a figure from the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki presented as a kami of the sea’s bounty and an enchanted fisherman. Son of Ninigi and Konohanasakuya-hime, he is associated with a magic fishing hook, a quarrel with his brother Hoori over exchanged sacred gifts, and is recorded as ancestor of the Hayato people.
Hodites
Hodites is a proper name attested in ancient Greek mythic sources and modern secondary summaries for a small number of distinct individuals: a centaur named among those at the wedding of Pirithous and Hippodamia (killed by Mopsus), a named combatant slain by Clymenus in the Perseus–Phineus conflict, and an alternative reading in a genealogical list where Diodorus Siculus (in citation) uses the name for one of the sons of Heracles and Deianeira. The name functions as an onomastic item in lists and episodes rather than as a recurring supernatural class.
Hodja Nasreddin’s evil twin (Ayna-Adam / Leylek) — Unverified
The supplied source contains no attested information about an evil twin of Hodja Nasreddin called Ayna-Adam or Leylek. The only material provided is a brief personal portrait of Hodja Nasreddin; therefore the existence, attributes, and rituals regarding an alleged evil twin are unverified in this source.
Hojir
Hojir (هُژیر) is a human heroic figure in the Persian epic Shahnameh: castellan of Dez-e Sepid, son of Goudarz, and participant in key Iran–Turan conflicts (notably the Rostam–Sohrab episode and the Davazdah Rokh). He is presented as a martial nobleman of a notable heroic family; no consistent supernatural attributes or cultic practices are attested in the supplied sources.
Holy Guardian Angel
In Christian theological and devotional contexts, the Holy Guardian Angel is an individually assigned angelic being appointed to protect and guide a particular person, group, or nation. The idea is embedded in the Christian angelic worldview and is commemorated liturgically (Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels, 2 October).
Holy Living Creatures
A class of heavenly attendants appearing in Jewish and Christian throne-vision literature (notably Ezekiel and Revelation) who perpetually worship and stand before the divine presence; later traditions (merkabah, Zohar, patristic exegesis) adapt and symbolically associate them with four archetypal forms.
Holy Wisdom (Hagia Sophia / Sancta Sapientia)
Holy Wisdom (Greek Ἁγία Σοφία, Latin Sancta Sapientia) is a theological personification of divine Wisdom in Jewish and Christian scripture and later patristic and liturgical tradition. Treated as an active, quasi-personal attribute of God, Wisdom is invoked in liturgy, celebrated in church dedications, and identified variously with the Logos (dominant patristic view), the Holy Spirit (minor patristic view), or — in later Russian Sophiology — a feminine principle associated with the Theotokos.
Homay
Legendary figure from Persian tradition, daughter of Kay Bahman, central character in the epic poem Homāy-nāmeh. (Note: - Power tier: Not specified - Appearance: Missing - Abilities: Missing - Sensory cues: Missing - Weaknesses: Missing - Wards: Missing)
Homer (tradition)
Homer is the traditional name given to the poet or poets credited with composing the Iliad and the Odyssey. Treated in ancient and later writings as an authorial identity that can be a historical individual, a rhapsodal role, or a legendary figure, Homer functions as a foundational cultural and educational authority in Greek literary tradition.
Hone-onna
Hone-onna (骨女, "bone woman") are a class of yōkai in Japanese folklore identified as women who died while still attached to living lovers and who return at night to reunite with those lovers. To the beloved they appear as beautiful young women, while their true form is a decaying skeleton; their nocturnal visits are said to drain the life force of the living partner unless the deception is revealed or religious protections are maintained.
Honey Island Swamp monster
A regional Louisiana cryptid reported from Honey Island Swamp in St. Tammany Parish, commonly described as a large, bipedal, hair-covered humanoid. The figure exists primarily in local legend, tourism, and popular-culture accounts rather than as a scientifically verified animal.
Hongatar
A Finnish haltija (localized spirit) associated with the bear: presented in runic songs as the mother or progenitor of the bear, and named for the honka pine used to hang bear skulls during peijaiset (bear funeral/feast). She is an invited guest of those rites and forms part of a family/network of tree-linked female haltijas in Finnish/Karelian oral tradition.
