Jogah

Jogah

Jogah are small spirit-folk (similar to faeries) in Iroquois mythology. They represent aspects of nature, and are split into various groups based on their relation to the world: the "Gahonga" are the jogah of rocks and rivers, the "Gandayah" make the Earth fertile and the "Odhows" control the spirits of the underworld, preventing them from rising to the surface of the Earth.
