There are gods and goddesses of truth, such as Veritas and Alethia of Roman and Greek origin, though "ideals" tend to be broken down into more specific concepts, more often than not.

[As he describes these goddesses, images of ancient temples, detailed statues, and painted vases flicker through his thoughts.]

Forces of nature might be broken down into specific gods as well, such as Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, or Ra, the Egyptian sun god.

[At the mention of Poseidon, a bearded man with a trident appears, with crashing waves behind him, followed by a man with a bird's head.]

Though gods, goddesses, and the supernatural vary drastically depending on the cultures surrounding them. For instance, one of the most famous mythical creatures in Japan is the kitsune, immortal trickster foxes with the ability to shapeshift, who were said to be messengers of the god Inari.
