Horagalles' consort is called Ravdna, and the red berries of the rowan tree are sacred to her. The name "Ravdna" resembles North Germanic names for the tree, such as Old Norse "reynir", and according to the "Prose Edda" book "Skáldskaparmál", the rowan is called "the salvation of Thor" because Thor once saved himself by clinging to it. It has therefore been theorized that the Norse goddess Sif, Thor's wife, was once conceived of in the form of a rowan to which Thor clung. Tiermes is a Sami god of thunder and rain, also called Aijeke or Ajeke and often identified with Horagalles. Tiermes is god of the sky and thunder and lightning, the rainbow, weather, oceans, and lakes and rules over human life, health, and well-being. He protects people and their animals from "hurtful demons" and "evil spirits" (i.e., trolls). According to the mid-18th century "Cérémonies et coutumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde", "Thiermes or Thoron" is the first in a trinity, of whom the other members are Storjunkare and Baivre or Jumala. He is also called Aijeke, "grandfather" or "great-grandfather"; in 1673 Johannes Scheffer wrote that when Aijeke thundered, he was called Tiermes. The names of the god vary considerably between regions, with Tiermes and variants being commonly used among northern Sami and Horagalles and variants among southern Sami, but unlike Horagalles, the name Tiermes is not a loanword; it is related to "Torym", found in Siberia.
