Make your own Mythology

Share with us your personal god list:

I'm currently on the road to making my own made-up gods (I'm christian so I don't believe they're real). And here's my compiled list.

Ripchak: God of sun and stone
Pixis: Goddess of imagination
Vaeux: Goddess of the sky
Pophne: God of plants and animals
Louga: Goddess of death and creation
Junfor: God of power
Whilist: God of humans
Latre: Goddess of love

These are the main gods
Demi gods coming soon. Share with us your list!


It's just time to be
sammy to the rasoodock.
And close up the business
of heart-related matters.

Re: Make your own Mythology

I have a personal god of the dreampark to whom I chant when entering any supermarket car park.

"Diety of the Dreampark, suppy with the park of my dreams! I offer your prayer or no prayer as per your wishes."

Certainly not as romantic as personal gods of the sky and love, but I park by the door!

I have no imagination = no personal gods, sadly.

Applications are far too involved for these types! In fact, your whole attitude is dangerously proactive. Just try not to accomplish anything and you can consider yourself a valued member of the religion.

Re: Make your own Mythology

The only pantheon I can remember creating offhand, for a game of Dungeons & Dragons, was stiflingly uncreative.  It just had one god for each of the four classical elements, plus six lesser gods -- the offspring of each pair of the four progenitors:

Fire + Earth = Clay
Fire + Air = Ash
Fire + Water = Steam
Earth + Air = Dust
Earth + Water = Sand
Air + Water = Ice

While the D&D game never materialized, this model did end up in a playful little computer program I wrote where you bred elemental-creatures called Pyrons, Geons, Aerons, and Hydrons to make creatures of the secondary elemental types, which you could then breed in certain combinations to get yet more creatures.  Eventually you could produce such creatures as the "Clinton," which I thought was pretty hilarious at the time.  I think he was the product of the elementals of humanity and fungus.

I haven't invented any other gods in a long time.  I did come up with an amusing idea for a medieval RPG setting in which there exists a set of books called the "Earth Chronicles."  The Earth Chronicles are a work of fiction describing in tremendous detail the history of "Earth," which the setting's Tolkien equivalent came up with from his fertile imagination.  The Earth Chronicles are so detailed that it's possible for a fanatic to summon up their main characters, who possess godlike powers in the "real world."  So you can get the spirit of the likes of Ludwig van Beethoven, Joseph McCarthy, or Joan of Arc to do your bidding.  That's sort of a pantheon, and a lot more interesting than elemental spirits.  :/

Re: Make your own Mythology

McFlaherty is my personal god of potatos.  Racist much?  PSSHHHH LOL!

Lets see here...

My personal god is Satan (Being a satanist... don't make any comments on that without at least looking it up or I'll PITCHFORK YO ASS!), but I'm really into stuff like saints and minor demons.  You know, little patron dieties who kind of make you feel special.

My patron saint is Saint Joan of Arc.  I love that woman.

I've tried to find some patron demon or something, and so far I've found one... but that doesn't stop me from making my own personal ones.

There's Jill, my demon of revenge, jealousy, hatred, and violence.
There's Margritte, my demon of pride, haughtyness, and snobbery.
There's Eugenie, my demon of lust, theft, and all sorts of adrenaline rushes.

I use my demons to lessen my personal urges and whatnot.  It helps.

Re: Make your own Mythology

Squat, the Goddess of Parking.  She is propitiated with the saying, "Hail, Goddess, full of grace, help me find a parking space," and any dirty jokes that come to mind.

Charlie, the god of travellers on the MBTA.  I don't deal with him too much anymore, now that I don't ride the T every day, but I'm wondering how he's feeling about the fact that they're phasing out the tokens in the system. emot-tongue
