The Pantheons of the World

Welcome to the gateway to dsd's Pantheons. The plan is to log every known deity, demon, spirit, hero, saint and legend of all cultures and times, but divine intervention is a little slow in coming. All sections are strictly works in progress so if you want to chip in with suggestions, have spotted a mistake of epic proportions or just want to pop round and put the kettle on, please contact me.

Africa

Ancient Egypt and Africa (...the bits that aren't Egypt... obviously!) Including gods from The Ashanti, Bantu, Barotse, Boshongo, Dahomey, Dinka, Dogon, Efik, Ekoi, Hottentot, Ibibio, Igbo, KhoiKhoi, Lugbara, Wahungwe, Yoruba and Zulu of Angola, Benin, Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Uganda, Zaire and Zambesi... and maybe others.

Americas

Aztec Pantheon
Meet heroic ants, drunken rabbits and the divine cactus!
The Aztecs are on a holy mission to return the favour of sustenance to the gods, with volunteers literally scrapping to get up the alter steps!
'Heart burgers - get 'em while their warm they're lovely!'

Mayan Pantheon of Mesoamerica.

Incan Pantheon of the Andes

South America, and the native Algonquin, Anasazi, Chinook, Choctaw, Chumash, Comanche, Cree, Creek, Delaware, Lenape, Mohawk, Mojave, Osage, Seneca, Ute, Cheyenne and Pueblo of North America. Also the Caribbean which is mostly Voodou.

Asia

Japan

The Gods of, well, everything. Nature, elements, toenail clippings, you name it. There's probably someone somewhere running the rule over this very screen for possible deification right now...

India

It started out as a celebration of the elements but super-size-me shots of ambrosia-roid were soon needed as religions battled for supremacy and the new godly heavyweights slugged it out for top dog status. Destruction is high on the agenda ... Feel my wrath!

China

Tibet

South East Asia : basically all Asian countries south of China and east of India (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Bali, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Java, Burma, Singapore...)

North Asia : (which takes in Mongolia, Korea, Siberia, Taiwan, and the other stuff i haven't already mentioned, probably).

Europe

Norse Pantheon of Scandinavia

Giving Gung-ho Gods a divine hammer, giant iron boots and a cauldron full of Ale can only mean trouble... especially if they also get their hands on some mistletoe and a huge horn!

Celtic Pantheon of Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Gaul

and bits of England.

Slavic Pantheon

including Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia.

Finnish Pantheon of, erm, Finland

plus Lapland.

The Middle East

The Middle Eastern Gods of Biblical times plus Mesopotamia.

Oceania

The Pantheon of Australia which is basically Aborigine, plus the rest of Oceania including Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia.
