You shouldn't find Veles in a Latin dictionary-- Veles (Velesu/
Volusu) was a Slavic God, although Puhvel in his Comparative
Mythology suggests a connection to 'Volsi' (umlauted o) the sacred
horse phallus manipulated in Norwegian fertility magic.
Hope you had a sacred horse phallus for your birthday, Glen!
