Sorry it’s been so long between part 2 and 3 of this journey.  Thanks for joining me in the journey of learning about all these different gods. Thanks to those who challenge my thinking too :) At the end of the journey I will write a disquisition explaining why I believe only in God, Yahweh, The Trinity, Jesus Christ and not the others.  At this point I am just presenting facts.  Always feel free to comment :)  Here we go:

Aether – Greek Mythology and was the personification of the space and heaven…so not really a god at all

Aethon – Greek and Roman Mythology he took on numerous forms depending on who you asked…so a horse, an eagle, personified famine, alias used by Odysseus.

Aetna – Greek Mythology, a Sicilian nymph, a daughter of Uranus and Gaea, or of Briareus.  goddess of the volcanic Mount Aetna in Sicily The mountain itself was believed to be the place in which Hephaestus and the Cyclops made the thunderbolts for Zeus. 

Africus – Believed to be both an African god of wine and in Roman mythology believed to be the personification of the south-western wind

Agastya – Hindu. Credited with writing the earliest and most revered Hindu scripture. Agastya is also the Indian astronomical name of the star of Canopus, is said to be the ‘cleanser of waters’. He is also said to have crossed the Vindhya mountains and that they bent low enough to enable the sage and his family to cross over and enter and then had the range of mountains promise never to grow until he crossed back over.  

Age – I can not find anything on this one…sorry….he has an unfortunate name….

Aghora – Hindu and fierce manifestation of Shiva, annihilator 

Aglaea – Greek Mythology daughter of Zeus and the youngest of the three Charities (godesses of charm), known as splendor, brilliant, shining one

Agni – Aryan god of fire, he is the enjoyer, the digester, the consumer, sun, heat, stomach, lust, and passion.  The nature of Agni is to spread, to take over and rule.

Agoue – Carribean Mythology. Protector of boats and fisherman.  He likes his sacrifices sent to him on small rafts. If they sink the sacrifice is accepted, if they float then you’re out of luck :)

Agrotora – Greek Mythology Alias for the goddess Artemis under which title she was considered  the patron goddess of hunters.

Agwe – Same as Agoue, just a different spelling

Ah Bolom Tzacab – Mayan god of agriculture who was believed to control the thunder and rain

Ah Cancum – Mayan god of hunting

Well that’s it for part 3…part 4 coming soon

Thanks for reading my brain splatter :)  Have a happy day :)
