The Egyptian God of the dead, Anubis, was the god of the dead, mummification, and embalming. He was associated with eternal justice, and held the scales upon which the heart and soul of the dead were weighed. He helped prepare and escorted souls to the afterlife.

The Egyptian Sun God: Atum, (or Atum-Ra), is often depicted alongside Khepri, who are both aspects of the Sun God Ra. Khepri depicting the morning sun, Ra the midday sun, and Atum the evening sun. Atum was sometimes seen as Ra's human form.

The World Tree, Yggdrasil., is home of the Nine Worlds: Niflheim (the primordial world of darkness & ice), Muspelheim (the primordial world fire and fire giants), Hel (the world of the dead), Nidavellir/Svartalfheim (the labyrinthine world of mines and forges of the dark elves), Alfheim (the world of light and beauty of the elves), Vanaheim (a world of nature and fertility), Jotunheim (a grim & inhospitable world of dark forests and frozen mountaintops), Midgard (Earth), and Asgard (which maintains order of the cosmos). The dragon Nidhogg lives among the roots of the tree, while the rainbow bridge connects the mortal world of Midgard and the land of the Aesir (Asgard).

Sleipnir from Norse mythology, is the eight-legged mount of Odin. He was born when Loki shape-shifted into a mare. Sleipnir is the fastest steed in the world.

The Norse storm god, Thor, from Norse mytholog, is the son of Odin and Jord, and married to Sif. He's loyal, honorable, and strong. His weapon is his hammer, Mjöllnir (Lightning). While his weapon symbolizes lightning, Thor himself is the embodiment of thunder. Not only a warrior, Thor is a god of fertility and agriculture.

The Aesir goddess, Sigyn, from Norse mythology, is the wife of the trickster god Loki, and mother to Narfi and Vali. Her name means 'friend of victory,' and she was thought to epitomize the best virtues in a wife. Even after Loki is chained by the gods, Sigyn remains faithful by his side, holding a bowl to catch the venom which drips down onto him, and only leaving when the bowl runs full. This is one of the only surviving stories of this Norse goddess.

The Norse god Heimdall is the son of Odin and nine mothers. He protects Asgard and lives in a fortress atop of the Bifrost (the Rainbow Bridge) watching and listening for trouble. He sounds his horn: Gjallarhorn, if intruders appear. Upon Ragnarok, Heimdall will blow his horn, and then die slaying Loki.

The Norse God, Odin (the Allfather), is the ruler of the Aesir of Asgard. He is a contradictory god: both the patron of rulers and outlaws, a war god, and a poetry god. Odin has only one eye – the other sacrificed for wisdom. He practices shamanism (practising seidr), and is often accompanied by his wolves, Geri and Freki, and his ravens, Hugin and Munin. His spear is named Gungir (swaying one).

The trickster God, Loki, from Norse mythology, born to giants Farbauti and Laufey, blood-brother to Odin, and father of multiple children (which includes Fenrir, Hel, Jormungand, Narfi, and Vali), Loki most often portrays the role of trickster and schemer. Loki's precursor in mythology may have been Loptr, possibly making Loki a god of fire. He is a shapeshifter, is the one who carved the mistletoe spear which killed Baldur, and is often portrayed as a 'knot' or 'tangle.' Eventually, for his many crimes, Loki is tied down inside a cave (from a chain made from his son Narfi's intestines) while a venomous serpent drips poison from above. His wife, Sigyn, stays forever at his side with a bowl to catch the venom.

Frigg, (sometimes Frigga), wife to Odin and mother of Baldur, from Norse mythology, is a goddess often interchangeable with Freya, both taking on similar rolls. Both are völva, practicing seidr (Norse magic), as was often symbolized through Frigg's weaving.

The Norse goddess Sif is the wife of Thor and is thought to be a fertility goddess. Some scholars believe her golden locks symbolize harvest. She's most known for the myth where Loki cuts off her blonde hair; Thor only spares the trickster's life when he promises to find her an even fairer head of hair. Unfortunately, not many references remain of this Aesir goddess.

Jormungand from Norse mythology is a snake (the Midgard Serpent) that lives in the oceans of Earth and is so large that he encircles the entire planet. Son of giants Loki and Angrboda, he is the brother to both Fenrir and Hel. Upon Ragnarok, Thor and Jormungand are destined to kill one another.

The Norse goddess, Hel (also known as Hela), rules the underworld (also called Hel), and is the daughter of the giants Loki and Angrboda; ( Hel was sister to Fenrir and Jormungand). She was often depicted as being half-white and half-black and plays a role in the myth of Baldur's death where she states she will only release Baldur's soul if every being in the universe cries for him. One giantess (which may be Loki in disguise) refuses, ensuring Baldur stays in Hel.

Fenrir is the son of the giants: Loki and Angrboda, and brother to Hel and Jormungand. Raised by the Aesir gods, Fenrir grew too fast and was them tricked into being chained to a boulder with dwarf-forged chains with a sword in his mouth – biting off the god Tyr's hand in the process. Upon Ragnarok, Fenrir will break free and destroy the world and kill Odin.

Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos are the Three Fates (or Moirai) of Greek mythology. Clotho spins the thread of life, Lachesis measures its length, and Atropos cuts the thread with her shears. Atropos also sees the past, Lachesis the future, and Clotho the present.

Zeus is the Greek God of the Sky and Thunder, and the Ruler of Olympus. Zeus was often portrayed with a sceptre in one hand and a thunderbolt in the other. Zeus had a giant pet eagle called Aetos Dios, and is most known for his numerous affairs and trysts. Zeus features in many ancient Greek myths.

Hestia is the Greek Goddess of House and Hearth. Hestia stayed at home, tending the hearth. A household fire was an essential and sacred element of early civilization, and Hestia was often referred to as 'Beloved' and 'Eternal.'

The satyr Pan from Greek mythology is part man and part goat. Pan was rarely seen without his panpipes. He was fathered by the God Hermes, and only loved sleep more than he loved pursuing nymphs (though they did not love him back).

Hera, the Greek Goddess of Marriage and Fidelity, was married to Zeus (King of Olympus). The peacock was Hera's sacred animal, and was often portrayed as a matronly woman accompanying Zeus, wearing a crown, with sometimes a sceptre. Hera was often seen as a vengeful wife, married unhappily to a husband who had numerous affairs, and was very vain about her beauty. But which goddess (especially of fidelity) wouldn't be unhappy in such circumstances?

Hephaestus, the Greek God of Fire, Metalworking, Masonry, Forges, and Sculpture. Hephaestus was the blacksmith to the Gods, the son of Zeus and Hera, and was married to Aphrodite. Hephaestus was the only imperfect immortal of the pantheon.

Poseidon. the Greek God of the Sea. At one time, instead of being God of the Sea, Poseidon may have been a fertility and Sky god. Poseidon is often depicted wielding his trident, which he used to create the first horse: Skyphios.

Dionysus is the Greek God of Wine and Fertility. Dionysus brought both joy and rage (as alcohol tends to do). Dionysus was born to Zeus and the mortal Semele, and wandered the world to spread his cult. A highly popular festival for Dionysus was held every Spring, where writers, actors and participants converged.

Demeter is the Greek Goddess of agriculture & controls the fertile Spring and Summer, as well as the cold, barren plains of Winter (showing her grief as her daughter Persephone is forced to spend the Winter months with her husband, Hades, in the Underworld). Demeter is often seen as a matronly/motherly figure, but also wielded a golden sword in battle against The Titans, where Demeter and her siblings cast their father Kronos into Tartarus, the darkest and most horrifying place in the Underworld.

Eris is the Greek Goddess of Chaos, Strife and Discord. Also the catalyst behind one of my favourite Greek stories: the 'Golden Apple.'
