Phalkon West African name(s): Okonore Yaa & Aso. Known to the people of West Africa, Cuba, and Central America, as the Fire Goddess.

A/N: Which of Gaeas' Vodu Names would you most likely refer to her as?

A/N: Which specific West African God and/or West African Goddess would you most likely worship?

A/N: In the Marvel Gaeaverse, The people of West Africa, Cuba, and Central America, those who still worship the Vodu, see Okonore Yaa/Aso as a Goddess of Fire & Rebirth.

A/N: The whole idea of "Peter Parker being the reincarnation of Anansi" is just a fanfic thing. But it did spark the idea of me iterating Peter and Teresa as children of Gaea, ever since learning that Anansi, in Marvel Comics, is one of Gaeas' children. If the idea of Peter Parker being the reincarnation of Anansi is true:

That would make Gaea the grandmother of whatever child/children Peter/Anansi would have with a woman, be it mortal, goddess, etc.

That would also mean that Buluku would be the grandfather to said child/children of Peter/Anansi.

That would also make Thor one of the uncles of whatever child/children Peter/Anansi would have.

Same for other male deities like Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Susanoo, Cronus, Amon Ra, Thoth, Kāne, Praamzius, etc.

It would obviously make Teresa Parker an aunt.

Same for female deities like Amaterasu, Sedna, Morrigan, Rhea, Themis, Charybdis, Inanna, Aman Sinaya, Ay, etc.

I can't believe no one else has thought about it that way. I do remember discussing that to some like EbonAvenger2, SoulEater_6706, MaxJames228, phalkon-phoenix, and MidnightMage3. As far as I can remember. I do recall BloodRave9 mentioning something about Gaea being Anansis' mother in his "Lost Souls" story. I think I did discuss something about that with 277fragkiller.

A/N: The idea of Anansis' mother being an Earth Deity is true in West African Mythology. Apparently, there seems to be a common theme.

A/N: I suppose we may consider Thor, Anansi, and Amaterasu, as perhaps the most well known of Marvel Gaeas' children.

A/N: Here are some videos about some of the West African Gods.

A/N: Wouldn't surprise me if Oya was an inspiration for Ororo Munroe/Storm.
