A list of the most popular deities is included at the end of this document. Although many Heathens will honour all the gods and goddesses, often they will have a particular patron deity they honour above all the others. The deity chosen may have a large effect on their life style and belief system, and often seems to be character related as well. Many Heathens also believe in and honour other wights, such as land spirits (often called elves or alfar) and ancestral spirits.
