[Andal]

Here's my Favorites.... I got a lot...

Lord Vishnu

Lord Krishna

Lord Murugan

Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva

 

[Koldo]

I don't actually believe in his existence but i like the tales: Loki

 

[Breathe]

Uh oh. You opened a HUGE can of worms for me, LOL. I love the various images and mythologies of the various gods.

Spoiler: Hindu favourites with pics!

Durga

Shiva

Vishnu and Brahma

Kali

Narasimha

​

That's a lot!

Spoiler: Buddhist yidams and bodhisattvas

Sometimes seen god-like, other times not. But still:

Samantabhadra

​

Ksitigarbha, Avalokiteshvara, and Vairocana - I have a REALLY good Korean postcard which I can't find anywhere, lol. If I found a painting of it I'd love it - except for his little 'tache.

Spoiler: Shenist and Bon

Some lesser known entities:

Mazu
goddess of the sea in Shenist [Folk Taoist] beliefs

​

I like the look of Purba Drugse Chempa, Shinje, Sipe Gyalmo, Vernayina, Gekho, Ngampa and Yeshe Walmo - but I don't know much about them. However, they do look damn awesome.

Also Waheguru, but he is without iconography.

I tend to like Tibetan, Nepali, and Indian iconography most of all.


So, if you didn't read, summary of my most favourite ones are:

Durga, Shiva, Waheguru, Kali, Mazu and Ksitigarbha.

 

[Twig pentagram]

I don't have a favorite god.

 

[Rainbow Mage]

I don't have a favorite god.

No eh?

 

[Rainbow Mage]

Far as Shinto I like this

Amaterasu

And sometimes a Bodhisattva, sometimes a god, Jizo

 

[hindupridemn]

Durga, Holy Spirit, and Lord Mahavira. I like thinking of God as a teddy bear too.

 

[AfterGlow]

Bast, because I've always liked cats.

Guan Yin, because I think compassion is lacking in the world and so a deity of compassion is much needed.

Cthulhu, because when the stars are right I'd rather be eaten sooner than later.

 

[YmirGF]

Ymir, obviously.

Not a very good likeness, but there weren't exactly a lot of cameras around in those days.

Mythological Beasties and Co.: Ymir

 

[Rainbow Mage]

Ah cool, Ymir, technically a giant, but I suppose that counts...

 

[Rainbow Mage]

Let's see, Norse pantheon

Odin

Loki, yes I quite like him

 

[hindupridemn]

Cthulhu is a real mythological figure? I thought they made him up for South Park.

 

[Rainbow Mage]

Cthulhu is a real mythological figure? I thought they made him up for South Park.

I'm not sure to tell you the truth.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

Morpheus - God of Dreams.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

Cthulhu is a real mythological figure? I thought they made him up for South Park.

Cthulhu is actually a character in Lovecraft's stories. It is very interesting.

 

[Riverwolf]

Siva
Ganesha
Kali
Durga
Rama
Sita
Krishna
Narayana
Athena

(one of these is not like the others lol)

 

[Primordial Annihilator]

Lucifer, The Light Bearer.

 

[YmirGF]

Ah cool, Ymir, technically a giant, but I suppose that counts...

True, but when one precedes said gods and they use you to create the universe, it does give one some rights to godhood itself.

 

[Gaura Priya]

Abha - The Most Glorious

Allah

Yehovah

Aten
