A **pantheon** is a group of divine spirits, or other authorities worshipped within a particular society.

## Overview

Pantheons typically form a primary group of deities within a culture, although how "God" is defined can vary significantly from one belief system to another. Most religions worship multiple gods, while some only recognize a higher, generally primordial being as the Supreme God, considering other deities as messengers or avatars, others have an extensive list of mythical creatures and heroes, among which only a few can take on the role of deities.

In some cases, the term "Patron" may be used to refer to major deities collectively, although this is not a universal standard.

There are also singular cases of primordial pantheons, which are superior beings recognized by their followers as a group. However, for various reasons, such as being inactive, existing on a higher plane of existence, or being in conflict with the major gods, these primordial pantheons are generally not members of The High Council.

## Description

Not all pantheons have the same importance or status in a mythology. A single Origin may house several independent groups of deities that may or may not be related to each other.

Different categories of pantheons are described below:

Main Pantheon: When a pantheon is unique or is worshiped above other gods, it is considered a main pantheon.

Geiton: When the pantheons are independent but maintain a non-negative relationship with the main pantheon.

Antipalos: When a pantheon is openly against humanity and/or the gods, it is considered an antipalos pantheon.

## How to make a Pantheon

Investigate everything there is: A mythology is not just gods. Wizards, mythical heroes, legendary races, ALL enrich a mythology, and several of them serve as a slippery slope to finding potential pantheons.

Look for a name: this changes depending on whether it is just a town that is not as documented on the Internet or if literally only some remains of its existence are known. If it's the first, start looking for a name. We recommend searching for dictionaries on the Internet, archive.org and scribd usually have information on many little-known cultures.

This name is the word equivalent in the language to "god" of the language, although it is not the norm, the world taught us that devotion is very diverse, prepare for cases such as religion having an umbrella term for all supernatural beings and the pantheon are the most important group (Sga'na Qeda, Manitou), that there is no difference between a god and a human and there is a term that encompasses both (Aents originally), or that they consider a single being as THE God and the pantheon are minor deities with their own category (Orisha, Malakhim, Dzuar).

There will also be cases in which they do not directly have a name for classification, they will have to create one based on the language, type, if according to research they consider the gods as "older brothers", translating that term into their language they will be given a name appropriate for the pantheon.

This is not mandatory in the short term for creating a page, if you have information but not the name, you can simply create it as pantheon of [name of worshipers] until an ideal one is discovered.

Be skeptical: In the research community itself there is a lot of politically correct diatribe when it comes to calling some worshiped being "god", often more because of silly and contradictory demands than because of realistic analysis, so even on Wikipedia you would end up seeing beings that here They are called gods under the name "spirit", "goblin" or "mythical figure".

The wiki is not academically serious, but to know if something fits with the idea of God we do base it on certain guidelines:

-They is adored

-Epic feats are attributed to him (creating the world, some important geography, teaching things like hunting and architecture, etc.)

-Unique characteristics are attributed to him (god of fire, water, hunting, energy, etc.

-They are attributed kinship (it depends on the myth, in some the gods are a unique family among all, in others they are the strongest of a whole classification of supernatural beings, in others they are directly spirits, but those that are venerated, etc. )

-His race is not homologous to any other (type, the figure complies with most things, but it is said that he is a djinn and king of a unique race totally separate from the gods of the same myth, it is because perhaps he is not a God)

-Be homologated with full-fledged gods (many peoples in Europe had gods that were the target of the Interpretatio Graeca with their contact with the Hellenic peoples, if that happened, it must have been for something)

## Rules for making a pantheon

**Don't repeat info:** Read before publishing, if your pantheon is too similar to one already existing on the page, perhaps it doesn't deserve to have your own in the first place.
There are pantheons worshiped with different names in various regions, or they directly worship the same one. If we already have a Mesopotamian pantheon, we do not need an Akkadian or Sumerian pantheon, which are the same beings with small differences.

In Wikipedia and other more serious pages they are separated because they take into account many scientific aspects that do not matter in ML.
The ideal is to add all that information to the appropriate page. You can also make pages about civilizations :D!

**It must have a name:** as long as it does not have one, it is simply called "pantheon [people who practice it]", in case the language is practically non-existent and there are no other official names even outside the language, it will simply be classified as a Devos Pantheon.
You can make up a name, but in that case it will be removed from the Real Base section.

**Something we can use:** We are not fanfiction.net, EVERYTHING in ML must be for public use, we do not want to see the Elder Gods of Mortal Kombat, Modern Gods of American Gods, Shards of Cosmere, Random SCPs or the Valar of the Lord of the rings (still) having pages here.
If you want to add a fictional pantheon, it must be one established as Public Domain, Lovecraft's Mythos, Gods of Pegana, William Blake's Zoas and other works in similar situations are accepted.

**Original creations are in another category.**
