ALKE (pronounced AL-kee) is one of the Greek Naiades. The Naiades were generally thought to be daughters of an Okeanid mother (the 3000 daughters of Tethys and Okeanos, Goddesses of fresh water sources) and a Potamoi father (the 3000 sons of Tethys and Okeanos, Gods of the rivers); in Alke's case, her father was Saggarios, God of the River Saggarios in Phrygia. Naiades were particularly responsible for water that came up from the earth, such as springs, fountains, and wells. Alke's name, which means "strength," is also seen as ALCE.

KUPALA (pronounced koo-PAH-lah) is the Slavic Goddess of water, herbs, and magic. Her festival takes place on the day of the summer solstice. Her worshippers bathed themselves in rivers and springs on this day to purify themselves. They also brought offerings of flowers, which they set adrift on the rivers. Another means of purification was jumping through bonfires built in Kupala's name. Her name means "to bathe" and was also sometimes seen as KUPALO. With the advent of Christianity, her festival was assimilated with another that purified through bathing, that of John the Baptist, known to the Slavs as Ivan Kupala.
