Pagan Gods are the deities represented in many ancient and non-Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism).
Due to the as of yet unknown nature of the God of Abrahamic religions, it is difficult to make exact comparions of their role and overall abilities. However in 5.19 Hammer Of The Gods, Kali states in her disgust of Westerners and their violence in the name of their God that their (Christian) religion is not the only religion and "he" is not the only god. It is unknown if this implies she and the others are "on par" with the Judeo-Christian God or not: this however is unlikely since Lucifer dispathed them with ease and since God's power far surpasses that of his son, since he himself created him. She also states that "we were here first" implying her and the other ancients pre-dating those of other Abrahamic religions. This also seems unlikely. Evidence is on Odin predictions. He believes the real Apocalypse to be when the Midgard Serpent Jörmungandr rises up, and Odin himself will be consumed by a big wolf. He obviously was wrong due to Lucifer killing him. Therefore it is quite possible these "Gods" are delirious. Further evidence is of Zao Shen's belief in the world turtle. Also Lucifer states "Dad made everything". He so far hasn't been wrong.
Throughout the Supernatural series, there have been many beings representing themselves as and calling themselves gods. Gods encountered in the Supernatural universe include:
- The Vanir (Pagan)
- Trickster/Loki (Pagan)
- Madge and Edward Carrigan (Pagan)
- Leshii (Pagan)
- Kali (Hindu)
- Ganesh (Hindu)
- Odin (Norse)
- Baldur
- Mercury
- Zao Shen
- Baron Samedi
The powers of these gods vary greatly. For example, Trickesters-gods can substanially alter reality, while the noted capabilities of other gods encountered include telekinesis, super strength and control of natural forces. Each god seems to have their own compliment of unique abilities. Kali herself was able to throw flames from her arms and caused Mercury to vomit blood. There appear to be common powers shared by multiple deities (such as augmented physical strength and certain traces of immortality).
