Or, used deities that are fictitious because they seem to have real-world significance? Would you think it valid to call upon Shar from the Forgotten Realms (a fictitious deity in a fantasy series) for a night goddess as opposed to a more established deity, like Nyx? Or even something that isn't established in literature but sourced from your own thoughts?
The reason being is that a lot of the mythology is based upon geography (the Nile in Khemet, the Ganges in India, Mount Olympus, etc) and I tend to view polytheistic deities as 'going through the filter of human subjectivity' of a sort.
