³ *Cf.* Feist, *Kultur der Indogermanen*, p. 343, who accepts connexion of Wodan with *vates* and Irish *faith* and treats him as a god of spirits, in accordance with his belief that the gods are sprung from spirits. Helm (*Altgerm. Rel.* i. 260 f.) regards Wodan as a wind and spirit god. Cf. von Schroeder, *Arische Religion*, i. 127 f., 488; Rhys, *Celtic Heathendom*, pp. 278, 280 ff.
