The winter season has been associated with numerous deities: the Greek god, Boreas; Norse god, Ullr; Celtic goddesses Cailleach and Beira. Over time, the old gods and goddesses were often transformed into a more generalised 'Jack Frost'.

A 'hob-thross' lived in Millom Castle. He slept by the fire during the day, and worked all night, doing the chores the humans didn’t want to do. One harsh winter he was offered clothes, a terrible insult to a hob-thross, so he left.

In Scots Gaelic lore, faeries were regarded as either nature spirits or spirits of the dead. They exist in faerie mounds/ the underworld awaiting reincarnation. A similar belief regarding elves in n. Europe.
