Szélanya (Old Turkic: Çel Ene or Cel Ana, "Wind Mother") is the Turkic and Hungarian goddess or deity of wind.
She is a wise, elderly woman who lives in a cave on top of a huge mountain somewhere at the end of the world.
She rides the winds and creates storms and whirlwinds.
Szelanya has a Slavic version which is a nymph who has power over wind, in which she delights in causing storms.
In Hungarian and Turkic mythology, she is also believed to be a female fairy-like spirit who lives in the wilderness and sometimes in the clouds.
