Stop Worshiping Gods You Don't Believe In, Start Worshiping the Ones You Made Up!
Most of us do not come from a cultural background that even has gods, or at least not ones worth worshiping without twisting your religious understanding into a pretzel (looking at you Old Testament) so if you hate your gods and don't feel like stealing someone else's, here's an easy guide to making your own gods and then making them real.
Start with a concept: God of BLUE BIRDS
Remove the vowels and repeating letters I got: BLRDS
Reorganize the letters using a random number generator. Every letter is given a number: B(1)L(2)R(3)D(4)S(5) Use a 1-5 number generator 5 times to get your new word order. Because my number generator spit out 4,3,1,3,5 I got: DRBRS
Insert vowels Every vowel is given a number: A(1)E(2)I(3)O(4)U(5)Y(6) Use a 1-6 number generator 4-6 times to see what vowels get put between the consonants. (4x if you want the name to start and end with a consonant, 6x if you want the word to start and end with a vowel) My number generator spit out 2,5,6,1,3, so I got: EDURYBARIS
Edit as you see fit. I actually really like the name Edurybaris for the god of Blue Birds, but if you didn't you could shorten it, edit it, or do whatever you'd like to it. The best part about this is that it's completely randomized, so even if you follow my exact instructions, you're going to end up with a completely different god of Blue Birds.
Create the God to match the name What do I think Edurybaris, the god of Blue Birds likes? If they have a gender at all, what gender are they? What do they look like? I think Edurybaris is a seven foot tall man with yellow eyes, bluebird wings, and bird feet at the end of his legs. I think you can pray to him to see a bluebird, and summon him during the spring. So mote it be, I guess.
Work with the god you've created The only way to make a god real is to work with them. Even if I have no need to summon Edurybaris or call on his favor, I might say hi to him every time I encounter a blue bird. Now, every time a bluebird goes past, I'll be communing with a god. I hope this was helpful. If your paganism is an objective fact to you, and this post pissed you off, you can send your complaints directly to Edurybaris for consideration. He uses unsolicited opinions to line the inside of his giant nest in the Ethereal Bird Realm.
