Primordial deities?

[David19]

I was just wondering what do you think of primordial deities like the Titans and i think there others like them. Do you think they existed at one point and are now in a mystical dimension/prision, do you think they can be worshipped and also do you think that other gods can be imprisioned/killed?

Maybe it's just me, but when I think of primordial deities, I don't think of the Titans. I think more of those Deities who were around at the very beginning of time. That is primordial to me. But, then, I don't know much about the Titans, so my views are very heavily influenced by my Kemetic beliefs.

well I'm sure there are lots of people who worship the Titans. I mean Hekate is a Titan and a pretty popular one at that. What about Helios? As far as imprisonment, well the story probably concurred because there of a power struggle for Graecian rule, and those who worship different deities get the boot as the new deity'(s) and the people who follow them take over. We've all seen it time and time again in the history books anywho. I personally don't believe Gods can be killed not the way we can anyways.

First off if someone wanted to honor a Titan I don't see anything wrong with that, people should worship who they see fit and who calls to them.

Here is a list I found of the Titans:
Gaea
Uranus
Cronus
Rhea
Oceanus
Hyperion
Tethys
Mnemosyne
Themis
Iapetus
Coeus
Crius
Phoebe
Thea
Prometheus
Epimetheus
Atlas
Metis
Dione

Now I know for a fact that Gaia and Rhea are and were worshipped.

Another list of primordial dieties I found according to Hesiod:
Chaos
Nyx
Erebus
Tartarus
Aether
Hemera
Eros
Gaea
Uranus
Pontus
Nereus
Phorcys
Eurybia

I think the same thing, so it's not just you.
When I think primordial I think of the first known dieties-- paleolithic and Neolithic...things like that.

Here are some links to info about them with descriptions of each:
