Chapter 1: Introduction to the Pantheon

In my family, discussions about mythology and deities have always been common. Though I identify as an atheist, my fascination with religions, traditions, and divine figures has remained strong. This curiosity has led me to develop a fondness for urban fantasy literature, particularly works by authors like Neil Gaiman. I aspire to craft a narrative in a similar vein, potentially set in Milan. At present, I'm still in the phase of exploration, reveling in the playfulness of ideas and concepts.

Today's post focuses on one such endeavor. I wanted to envision a pantheon of deities inspired by farm animals. My aim is not to establish a new religion but rather to highlight how these often-overlooked creatures can spark imaginative mythologies. Allow me to introduce my “Farmyard Gods.”

Before diving into the list and images, I want to share a few notes on my methodology. To generate the illustrations, I utilized an AI program (Jasper). I also consulted another AI (ChatGPT) to assign powers to each deity.
