Post 4: The Sun God

RA 

When we look into the sky at the blazing ball of fire we see what the Egyptians believed to be a deity or at least something one was controlling. The god they believed to see was Ra; he is the king of all Egyptian gods along with being the god of the sun. Ra is another very well-known, deity being referenced across all forms of media and games. Prior to Ra, there was nothing: no land, no light, no humans, no Gods. When Ra came into existence he started creating everything else using fragments of himself. Ra was already one of the strongest beings but he merged with another god, Amun creating Amun-Ra, the strongest god in Egypt.

Ra and the Sun
Ra is interesting due to the sheer power he is seen to hold. He can vaporize mortals whenever he pleases and can overpower almost any god. He is quite well known, making appearances in many media including more recent things such as Call of Duty.

    It makes scence that the god of the sun is basicly the god of everything, due to the sun playing a part in the creation of all life.

Post 12: Goddess of Volcanoes

PELE Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of Volcanoes and Flame. She controls the volcanoes of Hawaii and the fires they produce.  Pele is also known as the spirit that shapes the sacred land.  Since she controls the volcanoes she is considered one of the most vital deities in Polynesia. If Pele never existed then the volcanoes would never have existed nor, in turn, would the islands of Hawaii of formed.  She is not a purely benevolent goddess. She seeks to protect those who inhabit her land and protects them from all foreign forces that endanger them. To Hawaiians she is the reason why they have land to live on, beautiful nature, and safety from the volcanoes. Pele in control of volcano

Post 1: The World Serpent

Jörmungandr   We are all familiar with many of the Norse Gods, as they have been popularized through the Marvel franchise; we know Thor, Loki, Odin, and many more. Loki has 3 children each sent to different locations: Hel sent to be the ruler of the underworld, Fenrir stayed in Asgard and Jörmungandr who was sent to the bottom of the sea. Jörmungandr is the child of Loki and Angrboða and is known as the World/Midgard Serpent. Jörmungandr survived by consuming some of the sea and growing to become a monstrous serpent. To escape he tricked Thor with the help of a king. The king challenged Thor to tasks that seemed easy, yet he failed both of them: lifting a cup and drinking all the liquid. Unbeknownst to Thor, the cup was actually Jörmungandrs restraints and the liquid was all of the seas. Jörmungandr escaped and the king told Thor the truth, infuriating him. Jörmungandr speaking to Thor Jörmungandr is one of the most terrifying beings in Norse mythology. With him...
