Deities

Deities or Gods are the divine supernatural immortal beings that represent the prime authorities of a religion. They may also have helped God create Natural Order which Death oversees and controls. In Supernatural deities are not always benevolent and have even shown to be evil, with a taste for Human flesh.

History
The most important deity in Supernatural is from the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), who is referred to as deity known as "God" which is credited with the creation of everything and existed alongside Death. "God" seems to be the most powerful deity in existence. According to Kali, there are billions of gods in the Universe. Also, according to Kali, their religions were practiced long before that of God.

Lucifer, shows disgust for Mercury and other pagan gods for their lack of loyalty. Calling them petty, and worse than Humans or Demons he kills most of the other pagan gods.

Throughout the Supernatural series, there have been many gods encountered including:


 * God (Judaism, Christianity, Islam)
 * The Vanir (Norse)
 * Trickster (from many cultures)
 * Loki (Norse)
 * Anansi (West African)
 * Madge and Edward Carrigan (Pagan)
 * Leshii (Slavic)
 * Kali (Hindu)
 * Ganesh (Hindu)
 * Odin (Norse)
 * Baldur (Norse)
 * Mercury (Roman)
 * Zao Shen (Chinese)
 * Baron Samedi (Haitian Voodoo)
 * Veritas (Roman)
 * Atropos along with her Two Sisters known as The Fates (Greek)
 * Eve The Mother of all Monsters
 * Castiel After taking in all the souls from Purgatory, declares himself the new God. (aka Godstiell)
 * Osiris (Egyptian)
 * Chronos (Greek)
 * Oberon (Fairy god)

Powers & Abilities
As the exact nature and history of God is unknown, it leaves a large gap between "God's" and the Pagan gods' supernatural abilities and powers.

Unlike Demons, Angels, and all other supernatural species for that matter, the powers of the deities vary between each one. Normally, it depends on each type of god. While, each god has unique powers there are several that all of them have. But it is certain that they are more powerful than lower species, Demons, Monsters, Spirits, and Humans. Some gods possess powers par and even beyond normal Angels. It is for this reason that Angels require special items/methods to kill some deities.

Deities rank and age. While, never officially described, in Supernatural there are stronger types of Demons, Angels, and other supernatural beings. So it stands to reason that there are stronger kinds of immortal deities or immortal higher beings.

What is unique to deities than to all other Supernatural species, is that most don't share similar weaknesses. Different deities can be killed with different means of powers or weapons. However it appears that those with great power kill certain deities by overpowering them like when the Archangel Lucifier killed several gods with ease.


 * Lesser gods: This classification, of gods are the weakest. While they're way stronger demons, monsters and humans, they're still of the lowest hierarchy. Possessing the general powers of immortality, superhuman and senses. However, some, such as Mercury and Tricksters, have powerful abilities; like how Mercury can move so fast that humans cannot see him, and tricksters demi-gods, can create things out of nothing, can warp reality and make time loops. While powerful, they can be killed easily by an Archangel. Tricksters and Mercury could be demi-gods.

While more powerful than lesser gods, this classification of gods are still weaker than an Archangel.
 * Greater Gods: This classification of gods are more powerful than the average. They possess the powers inherent in all gods, which are greatly intensified, and others. They're also older than the lesser gods.


 * Ancient Gods: This classification of gods are far more powerful than lesser or greater gods. The still have the general powers like immortality and higher than human abilities and senses, but are far stronger than other gods. These gods are normally very old and powerful. While no god or higher being as of yet have appeared of this classification, Eve (The Mother of All), might be one or a higher being with the same level of abilities. Another possible being of this classification is the deity Atropos one of the Fates, for she was give her position by God which showcast her age and power.


 * Primordial Gods (Extremely Powerful/Unquestionable Authority): These gods are at least as old as the universe, if not older. They have such power that their immortality, invulnerability and the strength of their powers make them unable to be killed. These gods created the natural order and are impossible to be destroyed. The only way to kill one of this level is to be of the same level, as Death states that at the end of time he will reap "God". God and Death are thought to be of this level. Kali and Ganesh may also fit this criteria, coming from the most ancient and still practiced religion shown on Supernatural. Kali also states that the other Gods were in power first, suggesting they are far older.

Death appears to be Omnipotent as well as God. Castiel's powers after absorbing the millions of souls from Purgatory increased to a omnipotent-like level. For he became stronger than any Archangel. However Death declared as he knows God and calls Castiel no god and seemed not to be afraid of his powers.

Semi-Gods, Higher Beings, and Divine Immortals
There are other kinds of gods or even none angelic or demonic beings that are fall into the as categories.
 * Tricksters: Demigod-like immortal creatures that thrive on creating mischief and mayhem. With the power to make objects materialize out of thin air and remove them just as quickly. Tricksters accomplishes their destructive or harming feats with unusual and often humorous means, its intent to humble the self-important. The Tricker's metabolism is such that it craves sugary treats and consumes calories voraciously. To kill a Trickster one must obtain a stake dipped in the blood of its victim and plunge it into the creature's heart. Famous Tricksters include Loki of Scandinavian myth and Anansi of West Africa.


 * Death: While, unknown exactly what death is it can be assumed he or it is something like a god. If Death is a god or divine being it can be assumed that he is at least as powerful as "God" if not stronger, as quoted to Dean. As old as God. Maybe older. Neither of us can remember anymore. Life, death, chicken, egg – regardless, at the end, I’ll reap Him too.

Trivia

 * In Supernatual and has been comfirmed deities powers DO NOT come from worship. What separates the strength of individual deities is unknown. (However Sam states that The old gods got a lot of their Mojo from Worshippers feeding them. but not all of their power) However gods like Atropos and Osiris whom doesn't appear to take sacrifices and can go hundred of years without anything. For Osiris can be disabled for a couple of hundred years. This could mean that certain deities need humans for food or other things. Also Chronos states that he not all gods needs three sacrifices to control when and where he lands. This is shown that he can take sacrifices from any human to control his wandering of the time-lines.
