wind god

Storm's divine master

A wind god is a deity who controls or personifies the wind in a mythology or religion.

Most polytheistic traditions have them—Aeolus and the four directional winds in Greek myth, Vayu in Hinduism, Fujin in Japanese Shinto.

Wind gods typically govern storms, sailing, and the breath of life: The sailors prayed to the wind god for favorable passage.
