Wards
None recorded.
John the Evangelist
A central figure in Christian tradition identified as the authorial persona behind the Gospel of John and as an authoritative apostolic witness to Jesus. Traditions variously equate him with John the Apostle, John of Patmos, or John the Presbyter; modern scholarship disputes a single authorship for all Johannine writings. He is venerated as a saint, commemorated liturgically, and appears widely in Christian art and hagiography.
Johnny Cage
Johnny Cage (Jonathan "John" Carlton) is a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat video game franchise: a Hollywood action-film star and skilled martial artist who serves as one of Earthrealm's champions in inter-realm tournaments and wars. Though a mortal human in the fiction, his narrative repeatedly intersects with supernatural forces that kill, resurrect, or manipulate him.
Jokhini
A female supernatural predator of Assamese folklore — the Jokhini appears as a beautiful woman to lure men, but also as a hideous crone to devour them. She is associated with the dense forests of the Brahmaputra valley and is one of the most feared night entities in Assamese village belief.
Jonakr's sons (Hamdir, Sörli, Erpr)
Three brothers—Hamdir (Hamðr), Sörli (Sǫrli), and Erpr—of the Völsung lineage in Germanic heroic legend who, at their mother Guðrún's urging, attempt to avenge their half‑sister Svanhildr by attacking King Jörmunrekr/Ermanaric. Their deed and tragic deaths are attested across Norse poetic and saga sources and continental chronicles.
Jophiel
An archangel in Jewish and Christian angelology, Jophiel is depicted in mystical, liturgical, and occult sources as a high-ranking celestial guardian associated with wisdom, Torah-reading, beauty, and certain Kabbalistic/ceremonial correspondences. Sources place Jophiel among the highest heavens and in roles supervising scripture, teaching languages, and serving in angelic command.
Jorōgumo
A yōkai of Japanese folklore depicted as a spider-associated shapeshifter that can take the form of a woman to lure, entangle, and sometimes devour humans. Tales place it in liminal natural sites (waterfalls, abysses) and domestic edges (eaves, attics), and local practices sometimes worship or ritually counter it.
Jove (Jupiter)
Jove, more commonly known in scholarship as Jupiter, is the chief sky-and-thunder god and king of the gods in ancient Roman religion and mythology. He functioned as the leading divine authority of Roman state religion throughout the Republican and Imperial eras and is portrayed in legend as establishing principles of Roman cult practice through negotiation with the early king Numa Pompilius.
Juan Tamad
Juan Tamad (Tagalog for "Lazy Juan") is a stock character in Philippine folklore known for extreme laziness. Portrayed usually as a child (sometimes a young man), he appears in short comic or moralized tales that exemplify sloth through absurd behavior and its social consequences.
Judah (Yehuda)
Judah (Hebrew: Yehuda) is a biblical patriarch—the son of Jacob—whose name became the eponym of the Tribe of Judah and of multiple historical and geographic entities (Kingdom of Judah, Judea/Yehud, later provincial and modern toponyms). The supplied sources treat Judah as a human ancestor and an ethnic/political designation rather than a supernatural being.
Julia Carpenter
Julia Carpenter is a fictional Marvel Comics superhero introduced in Secret Wars #6 (1984). A human altered by covert government experiments, she has used the codenames Spider-Woman, Arachne, and later assumed the Madame Web mantle in some storylines; her narrative roles include government operative, team member, mother, and occasional double agent.
Jumala
Jumala is a divine name and concept in Finnic and some Volga‑Finnic language communities, referring both to pre‑Christian sky‑deity figures (often associated with sky, thunder, storms and fertility) and, after Christianization, to the Christian God as the ordinary word for 'God'. It functions variably as a proper name, a generic term for deity, or the designation of local sky gods in regional traditions.
Jumis
Jumis is a Latvian/Baltic agrarian figure and decorative motif associated with prosperity, the fertility of crops, and the household well‑being tied to the harvest cycle. Attested in folk context as a prosperity emblem in material culture and situated within the seasonal rites of spring and midsummer, Jumis functions as a positive agricultural agency rather than a hostile spirit in the supplied sources.
