 | | In Buddhism gods are the beings in God realm of Samsara, these beings are mortal, numerous and are not worshipped. | | | A deity or a god, is a postulated preternatural being, usually, but not always, of significant power, worshipped, thought holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, or respected by human beings. | | | Adherents of polytheistic religions, such as certain schools of Hinduism, may regard all gods in the pantheon as manifestations, aspects, or multiple personalities of the single supreme god, and the religions may be more akin to monotheism or henotheism than is initially apparent to an observer. |

| | Osiris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A living, sacred ram, was even kept at Mendes and worshipped as the incarnation of the god, and upon death, the rams were mummified and buried in a ram-specific necropolis. | | | He is also unique as he is seen in one episode, communicating with Willow Rosenberg as she tries to resurrect her dead lover, Tara Maclay; although names of deities are often given in spells on the show, most of the time the deity is not seen. | | | As Banebdjed, Osiris was given epithets such as Lord of the Sky and Life of the (sun god) Ra, since Ra, when he had become identified with Atum, was considered Osiris' ancestor, from whom his regal authority was inherited. |

| | Historicity of Jesus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | During the first and second centuries BC, Hellenic philosophy merged with various minor deities to produce mystery religions, in which a Life-death-rebirth deity was used as allegory to encode wisdom. | | | They therefore accept that the accounts of the life of Jesus in the Gospels provide evidence for the historical existence of Jesus and the basic account of his life and death. | | | The Bible also describes various miracles associated with Jesus' life, notably healings, a virgin birth and a resurrection from death. |

| | Her name comes from proserpere meaning "to emerge." She is a life-death-rebirth deity. | | | The myth of Proserpina, mainly described by the Roman Claudianus (4th century A.C.) is closely connected with that of Orpheus and Eurydice: it is Proserpina, as Queen of Hades, who allows Orpheus enter and bring back to life his wife Eurydice who is dead by snake poison. | | | So this is the reason for Springtime: when Proserpina comes back to her mother, Ceres decorates the Earth with welcoming flowers, but when in Fall she has to go back to Hades, nature loses any colour. |
