Deities of Specific Bodies of Water

This is a list of Deities, Spirits and other Higher Powers associated with the element Water. As always, before working with any of them, do some research to become familiar with all of their facets, lest you be caught off guard by their ways.  Each Higher Power is unique in they way they approach a situation - some may be very straightforward, others brutal (even in healing), and others gentle.  If you are unsure who to pick, you have not progressed enough in your magickal workings to create your own spells and rituals - try using a spell someone else has written such as those located in my Book of Shadows.
