Regarding trying to create a "pantheon" of my own: I ended up settling for Titles rather than Names for daily worship, acknowledging cycles and the forces at play and such things.
Which on one hand, is kind of annoying, because I like being specific, but on the other hand, it means there's Courts of Spirits rather than Individual Gods. There's more options available for the practitioner to find the best fit for them, allows me to stay in touch with more Folks On The Other Side more easily, and it's not difficult to narrow it down for special dates or when specific results are needed.
But it also means most of the time you don't really know who you're talking to unless they somehow let you know. Sometimes the same Spirit can fit under two or more of these titles, and titles can have subtypes of sorts, or be related in some way I didn't expect, or overlap in the weirdest ways creating more amalgamations than I initially thought, and it gets complicated fast.
The fluidity of it all is very comfortable for everyday work and worship, since each Title is more of a "Spiritual Niche". It says more about the "Functional characteristics" of the Spirits that fill it, and makes it easier to understand how they work and interact with each other, aswell as how the entire "spiritual ecosystem" works, and then apply all that knowledge to craft. (Is it too obvious that I am an ecologist trying to make sense of all this in a very ecology way?)
I'm still figuring out the details, but overall: it works, it stays.
