A deity is a supernatural being that is worshipped and revered in various cultures and religions. Deities are often associated with specific aspects of life, such as creation, nature, or morality. They can take many forms, including gods, goddesses, or spirits, and are typically believed to have powers beyond human understanding. In many belief systems, deities are thought to influence the world and human affairs. For example, in Greek mythology, deities like Zeus and Athena represent different elements of life and nature. Worship practices, rituals, and prayers are often directed toward these beings to seek guidance, protection, or blessings.
