This series is called “Gods” where the inspiration is taken from mythology and the creatures that are mentioned in it.

 

I have tried to reimagine these creatures in my own way and added my own element to it.

 

 

 

Lamashtu
.
“Lamashtu is the daughter of Anu, the Sumerian Lord of the Sky.

above all other evil gods is the Mesopotamian goddess-demoness Lamashtu, the most terrible of all the female demons. She preyed on women during childbirth, kidnapped their newborns while they were breastfeeding, and then slew the babies to eat their flesh. Fittingly, her name is Akkadian for “she who erases.” 

Amulets like the lion-head, bird-claw as worn by Lamashtu, were worn by an expectant mother to defend herself against the demoness. 
She was also bribed away with offerings of small objects, such as combs and fibulae. 

Despite her dark supremacy, Lamashtu had a weakness—the plague bringer, Pazuzu. He was summoned by women to protect them from true evil—Lamashtu.

Despite her wicked reputation, some ancient Semitic cultures considered Lamashtu their guardian.”

The goddess of magic, necromancy and the haunting ghosts of the dead. She who issued forth from the underworld with a train of torch-bearing Lampades, demonic Lamiae, ghosts and hell-hounds. When the line differentiating god and authority starts thinning.

 

 

 

 

Most mountains, or Ourea, were born by Gaia, the Earth, who is neither a Titan nor an Olympian but a more ancient primordial deity. She begot the mountains all on her own (pathenogenesis) along with Uranus, the sky, and Pontus, the Sea.

Ourea were primordial deities, sometimes depicted as bearded males. They are rarely shown as characters in any myths. Some of them, however, are mentioned as speaking or showing emotions: Kitharion, Helikon, Olympus, Parnes, Tmolus.

Mountains also had their own nymphs, Oreades, who personified them, like Ida of Mount Ida. Those nymphs were also born by Gaia or, alternatively, to rustic demons caled Dactyls and their sisters Hecaterides.

 

 

Cernunnos 

 

Cernunnos is a horned god found in Celtic mythology. He is connected with male animals, particularly the stag in rut, and this has led him to be associated with fertility and vegetation. Depictions of Cernunnos are found in many parts of the British Isles and western Europe. He is often portrayed with a beard and wild, shaggy hair–he is, after all, the lord of the forest.
