I'm talking about mythology here, not religion. Rather, which god/goddess symbolizes what you most revere?

Which category would you suggest?

The Morrigan and Kali I relate to best, but Quan Yin also appeals to me.

I have many but my main two are
Nyx - though she's more of the embodiment of night then a goddess
Brigit - She is the Celtic Goddess of Healers, Poets, Smiths, Childbirth and Inspiration; Goddess of Fire and Hearth and a patron of warfare. She is said to be present at every birth

you are my favorite goddess ;-)
But the only difference I see between mythology and religion is the elegance of mythology. When people believe that the myths are real, then it is called religion also known as superstition

Strange that someone thinks mythology and folklore is the wrong category.
Anyway I am partial to Helios, the sun God.

Apollo. I have a bit of a sun thing, I collect them (not the smiley faced ones though), my web site is named for a hindu sun god. My big project is named Helios. I have a very cool image with Apollo riding his chariot. It's the ideas of the sun and beauty that I like. I'm a designer.

I have favorites from 2 mythologies
Devi ~ goddess of nature, life, & death in Hindu mythology; in her right hand she holds joy & pain & in her left hand she holds life & death.
Loki ~ Trickster god of the Norse pantheon; he will one day help to unleash Ragnarok; he is the one who will free the giant wolf, Fenrir

My favorite God is The Christian God... I realize that this is religion not myth...
I used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ (e.g., see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html ).
Cordially,
John

Apollo! Obviously, and Athena on the goddess side.

Brighid, the Irish Celtic goddess of motherhood, fertility, and protection. It should speak for itsself.
