An early personal attempt to set the gods of many traditions beside one another — to read their family trees, their adjacencies, and their echoes together rather than apart. Entries are added one tradition at a time and checked against sources before they are pinned in.
The aim is not coverage. It is composition: pantheons placed where a reader can see who sits next to whom.
What is here now
- A grid of pantheons, grouped by tradition or sortable by era and size.
- Family trees — parents above, consorts and siblings to the sides, children below, cross-cultural parallels at the bottom.
- A timeline of when each tradition was active and at peak.
- Cross-cultural archetypes (sky-father, earth-mother, trickster, psychopomp, serpent-dragon, …).
- Catalogues of deified humans and notable mentions outside the main rosters.
- A flat browse view for searching the whole archive.
Coverage is uneven by design. Well-documented traditions (Greek, Hindu/Vedic, Norse, Egyptian) are heavier; smaller pantheons sit as sketches until more reading happens.
What is intentionally unfinished
- Smaller regional pantheons are sketched, not filled in.
- Source citations exist in the working data but are not surfaced in the view yet.
- Wikipedia images are fetched live; some figures will show a glyph instead.
- A geographic map view (latitude / longitude per cultural centre) is planned but not built.
What is not here
This is not a theology. It is not a comparative-religion course. It is not an argument that the traditions are the same. It is a careful arrangement, growing slowly. Empty patches are intentional and will fill as reading continues.
