I have several but I find the Aztec creation myth to be very interesting.

What is your favorite Pagan creation myth?

Greek and Egyptian.
My path doesn't really concern itself with creation, so I don't really have a favorite. I'm always partial to Hellenic mythos, though. If I was forced to choose a creation mythos, I would actually go with a mythopoetic rendition of various sciences.
The Big Bang.
Wait, wut?
Like @Sees I am Ásatrúar/Heathen and don't really give too much thought to the Ásatrúar/Heathen creation story either. I can appreciate the part where two opposing forces or conditions could come together and cause a reaction - fire and ice coming together out of a great void, but it's not addressed afaik how it happened. Of course I think it's all metaphorical and not literal. The stories were written down and preserved by Icelanders after the Viking Age. Iceland is a land of fire and ice, so it would make sense to use that if they writers had to fill in the gaps of lore that were lost.
