UPG: Thor is the ultimate hype man, and loves encouraging his followers. Heโs also a massive flirt, and is surprisingly ticklish. His presence is strong and warm, and you can feel his love for you in everything you do.

UPG: Zeus is a surprisingly kind and fatherly god. He cares deeply for his followers, though can act out at times when angered. I heard an account of a follower who was complaining about there being no rain, so he sent a thunderstorm that lasted so long they got 18 bottles of rainwater out of it. That being said, he is kind and will take care of his followers' needs.
God/Goddess of: The Sea, Storms
Offerings: Rainwater, Chocolate, Crackers, Sea Salt, Noodles and Ramen, Rain scented Candles, Sea water, Fish and Sushi
UPG: Susanoo is a very active god, heโs easily angered and tempestuous. However, he is also very fun to be with. He has a regal presence befitting a god, but he is also disheveled and able to hang out with his followers freely. He is stubborn. As long as you avoid angering him, Susanoo makes good company for any weather or sea witch

UPG: She loves to hear her followers sing, and is a very kind and motherly presence. This is strange, but she has the exact same vibes as the song by Fleetwood Mac. Otherworldly, Witchy and Kind. Her sacred day is Monday, and her Sabbat is Beltane. Her feast is on March 1st.
God/Goddess of: Rain, Sunshine, Fertility, Peace, Kingship, Virility, Harvest
Offerings: Honey, Grains, Gold, Antlers, Phallic Objects, Wheat Bread, Rich and Dark Beers, Pork, Apple, Barley, Nuts and Seeds, Coins, Rain Scented Candles, and Golden Objects
UPG: Freyr really lives up to his title as God of Sunshine. Heโs a little bit of a worrywart with his followers, he really doesnโt want them to get hurt, bless his soul. Heโs strongly associated with antlered animals, and is very affectionate and kind. Freyr is a very loving god.
God/Goddess of: The Sky, Storms, Rain, Law, War, Fertility, Oak, Nobility and Warriors
Offerings: Meat, Ale, Mead, Golden Apples, Red and Gold Candles, Rain Scented Candles, Fowl meat (especially Rooster), Wooden Objects made of Oak, Rain Water, Arrows and Arrowheads
UPG: Perun is truly befitting the title of King. He has a very fatherly and stern presence, but never a hateful one. However, Perun does have a fierce rivalry with Veles, so itโs likely best not to mention the trickster god when communicating with him.
God/Goddess of: The Sky, Storms, Rulership, The Sun and War
Offerings: Fowl Meat, Brass or Gold Objects, White Feathers, Dark Ale, Water, Bread, Honey, Salt, Grains
UPG: Horus is a princely figure. He is stern and reasonable to a fault, and very patient with his followers. Understanding and kind, Horus is a great patron for any weather witch
God/Goddess of: Thunder and War
Offerings: Wheels, Lightning Imagery, Daggers, Feathers, Baked Goods, Meat, Alcohol, Rain Scented Candles
UPG: A jovial and stern god, Taranis is kind of hard to pin down. He cares for his followers deeply and will protect them with all he has, and is kind when bestowing gifts so long as an offering is returned afterwards.
