Gods among Us (Not the game)
Good morning, good afternoon and good night.
Welcome to my third challenge.
The idea is quite simple ... create cards from gods. References will be mentioned in the rules.
Rules:
Make three gods cards. One for Hinduism, one for Nordic mythology and one for Egyptian mythology.
Edit 07/13: For the Hinduism card, it will be open to any mythology you feel comfortable doing.
So an Egyptian, Nordic and a free choice.
• Maximum of 3 entries per participant (this set with three cards will count as an entry)
• No old cards
• References to the gods who inspired creation.
• The cards need the link of the creation made in MTGCardsmith
• The contest finish 08/01/2020 (August)

I thought of many gods ... maybe next time there will be Aztecs
Vac is the Hindu goddess who is the literal personification of speech/word/communication/etc.
Repyt was an Egyptian fire goddess who was associated with Ra.
Vidar was a Norse god who survived Ragnarok; he killed the Fenrir wolf by kicking open its jaw with a magic shoe ("Sko") to avenge the death of his father Odin.
Gasheen is inspired by Ganesha, the god of knowledge, spiritual truth and power, if I'm not mistaken.
Shazekt is inspired by Sekhmet, the daughter of Ra, the brutal goddess of the desert and war.
Hæfnir is inspired by Heimdallr, the god that watches over the bridge Bifrǫst.
I'll take the indication below, so if we have 7 or less, I will consider it for the total reward.
Only if you have more than seven participants. Below that all participants will have three favorite cards to choose from.
Edit: The translation I think was not good. Briefly, disregard this indication. It will be a total award regardless of the number of participants.
If I had one bit of advice to give, however, it might be to stay away (in future contests) from current religions which are widely practiced. The Hindu goddess I chose, Vac, is from an ancient "denomination" (for lack of a better word) of Hindu beliefs, in an attempt not to offend current worshipers of that religion (of which there are probably around 900 million or something, so ... not a small number of potentially offended people!). I would (respectfully) recommend sticking to dead and ancient mythologies of former cultures which are long gone. Aztec would be good, like @KorandAngels suggested. Personally, I think there are some fascinating Pacific Islander mythologies like Polynesian or Samoan which are under-represented in fantasy games (like ... what if Moana was a Planeswalker?
Anyway I, myself, am an atheist ... so I'm not personally offended. But I do respect people who are able to live good and happy lives while maintaining their positive spirituality, so I am just trying to be respectful of others' beliefs, that's all I'm saying!

Humurs inspired by Horus, God of Sky
Skati inspired by Skadi, goddess of winter and hunting.
Yes. But if you want, just copy and paste what I did for you.
