From the Divine Spark; a Conflagration of Human Faith

When the Eternal Father and Eternal Mother created the systems, rules, and patterns of existence, creation, and the universe they encompassed the idea of lesser divinities subordinate to thesmelves that would act on their behalf. Before the divine separation of the Father and the Mother, each had created their own hosts: Angels and the Fae, and the notion of subordinate ideas had been subsumed into the angels and the fae alike. But the systems that would have raised lesser deities was still in place.

The system thus created remained unused for aeons until the coming forth of Man and Woman. When humanity came to be, the Eternal Mother had already turned away from the real world and slumbered in the Otherworld, and the Father had withdrawn to the highest spheres of His Heaven before vanishing. Humans, faced with two absentee deities, turned their need for explanations to natural phenomenon and created for themselves Gods and Goddesses.

The long inactive capacity of human faith to transform and empower was brought into existence as humans gave worship and sacrifice over to new dieties of the Sun, of the Moon, of Storm and Sea, Sky and Earth.

The Third Born

In the grand cosmic scheme, the Pagan Gods are known as the Third Born, for being created after angels and fae but preceding the fall of Lucifer and the creation of demons, vampires, and lycanthropes.

As human faith conjured more and more gods to oversee their world, these divine beings were born, grew in strength and power until whole regions of the world offered worship, sacrifice, obedience and homage. Groups of Gods born from the same divine source such as people in the same region who perpetuated the mythos, and those who were a by product of divine reproduction comprised Pantheons which further took shape and claimed even more faith. Wars were waged over the Gods, for the Gods, and at the behest of the Gods. The more actions undertaken, even in lip service to the Gods, strengthened these beings and commensurate with their growing power came hubris and arrogance.
