Szélatya (also attested as Szélkirály) is presented in the cited sources as a deity associated with wind. The available references identify the figure as a wind god but provide only minimal details; one source labels the figure 'Turkic' while another describes it as 'Hungarian.'

Origin

The cited sources do not provide any mythic origin story or genealogy for Szélatya. They identify the figure by name and as a deity of wind but contain no narratives describing birth, parentage, creation role, or integration into a wider pantheon. The lack of recorded origin material in the available references means no origin account can be reconstructed from these sources.

Appearance

The available sources offer no description of Szélatya's physical appearance. There are no recorded anthropomorphic attributes, symbolic iconography, or standard visual representations provided in the cited material; therefore, no appearance details can be asserted from the sources at hand.

Abilities

The sources consistently identify Szélatya as a deity 'of wind,' implying an association or agency over wind phenomena, but they do not specify particular powers, behaviors, or functions (for example control of storms, benevolence or malice, messenger roles, or interactions with humans). Beyond the general domain of wind, the sources supply no documented abilities or mythic actions.
