nature deity
Spirit of wilderness
A nature deity is a god or goddess associated with natural forces or features—rivers, forests, mountains, the sun, storms.
Many polytheistic religions personify nature through such figures: Greek nymphs inhabited springs and groves, while Norse mythology assigned thunder to Thor.
Ancient peoples often prayed to nature deities for good harvests.
