Chakana
A symbol used by the Inca and pre-Incan Andean societies representing a bridge or means of crossing over, with a long cultural tradition spanning 4,000 years. (Note: 1.

Papa (disambiguation)
Not a single folkloric entity: 'Papa' is a common word and name appearing across languages and cultures. In mythic contexts it appears as an element in names (for example Rangi and Papa in Māori mythology and Papa, an earth goddess in Cook Islands mythology) but the provided sources are a disambiguation and do not document a singular supernatural being called simply 'Papa'.
Papa Isio
Papa Isio (Dionisio Magbuelas, also recorded as Dionisio Seguela or Dionisio Papa y Barlucia) was a historical Filipino leader of a babaylan-influenced social-religious and military movement in Negros Occidental around the Philippine Revolution and the Philippine–American War. He fused indigenous spiritual authority with agrarian reform and anti-colonial nationalism, led armed resistance against Spanish and later American authorities, surrendered on August 6, 1907, and died in Old Bilibid Prison in 1911.

Paps of Anu
Two mountain peaks in County Kerry, Ireland, with breast-like shapes and mythological associations to the Celtic goddess Anu.

Paqariq Tampu
Sacred cave and birthplace of the Ayar Brothers, ancestral beings responsible for creating humans in Inca mythology.

Para Brahman
Para Brahman (Sanskrit: परब्रह्म, parabrahma) is a Hindu metaphysical designation for the Supreme Brahman — the highest, ultimate Reality described as beyond all descriptions and conceptualisations.

Parabiago Plate (Cybele and Attis)
Ancient Roman entity associated with natural cycles, time, and the forces of nature. (Note: 1. Power tier: Ancient (not Primordial), given their association with natural cycles and forces of nature. 2. Abilities: Remove "govern the interactions" - this is an inference, not explicitly stated )
Parashurama
Parashurama is the sixth avatara of the god Vishnu in Hindu tradition: an axe-bearing warrior-sage who appears to correct systemic wrongdoing (especially abusive Kshatriya power), later performs Vedic rites and retires to ascetic practice.

Paraskeva Friday
A personified figure in East Slavic folk Christianity who represents the day Friday and associated saintly cults (notably saints named Paraskeva).
