I love how every example of an Old God in fiction come in two flavours

The breath is the storm, and their pulse the dance of the heavens, and the stars sing a song of them, for they await their dread and formless self, older than names, to drag them into their embrace, and I fear they may not be long

Some guy who used to be a big deal and maybe ruled over a grove somewhere until a Catholic monk showed up and hit him in the knees with a stick, and now they're completely irrelevant

OLD GODS: TOTEM

THE SWAN

The swan was one of the most sacred animals to ancient Finns. It was believed to be able to travel between the realms and carry messages over to the underworld - and return. The swan is also monogamous bird and it can be seen as a totem of loyalty and peace.
