Well, I for one follow the Sumerian pantheon and have for some time.
It seems to me each pantheon has an overall "flavour" (I mean no disrespect) which greatly influenced the original culture that worshipped those gods. The Sumerian pantheon were creators of civilizations. Given that so many "firsts" in history occurred in ancient Sumer, I think the Sumerians (which were created by the gods to help them with their work,) were listening closely to their gods. I can most certainly see the hands of those gods in the work I do with books.
If certain gods of war are stirring, bringing destruction and chaos to our land, perhaps also stirring are the gods of civilization, laying down the seeds that will restore order and civilization. After the wrath of the war gods and the storms they bring has passed, then peace, order and prosperity will be renewed. I certainly hope so.
