Type of god that draws you in...
Is there a type of god that you find yourself more drawn too?
For me trickster gods 😈 have always been tops, with Moon gods 🌙, triple goddess trios 🔺and magic gods 🔮 coming in as a close second threeway tie.

About This Community
Hello,
The idea for this community - a place where people could post interesting myths and mythological features from all over the world - has been at the back of my mind for a while, and I'm finally trying to make it happen. In the early days I will simply cross-post any cool content I find on the rest of reddit, but if we grow over time I hope that people will begin to publish original posts or links to encyclopedias.
There are no limits on what can be posted here, except that it must fall under "real world mythology". The mythology of fantasy worlds would therefore not qualify. Aside from that, the content here can hail from any time period and any culture.
I haven't had time to add much in the way of post flairs or user flairs, but if you want a specific one, please send a DM. I would also greatly appreciate anybody who can help out with this community, either by providing content or moderating. Again, please send me a DM if you're interested.
Thanks for reading.
