Need some help /tg/
I've come up with a magic system wherein collective belief in a thing can have effects upon reality. My thought is, once humanity began to progress to the point where they have language, a collective unconscious begins to form and start spawning spirits based on the collective perception and belief.
Thus, any universally human concept becomes personified by a spirit, and the collective 'attention' of the entire race makes it powerful enough to become a deity.
I'm trying to think of what kind of order people might have developed these universal concepts. I think Death would probably be the first one, but what comes after that? Nature maybe? Should that include just beasts or should it include plants and the sun and the seasons?
tl;dr if people invent gods as they're collectively thought of, which gods come about first?

Spirits of animals, fucking, and fucking animals.

Well OP you're right to say that Death is first.
In most ancient religions the gods were about providing for needs. The most immediate needs are for air, then water, but I think we can skip those and go straight to food.
Humans are omnivores, but foraging feels less random and more reliable than hunting. So let's say the second god is of beasts and hunting.
Our next need after we've got a full belly is warmth. You could go one of a few ways with this
You could have a god of fire and hearth, you could have a sun god , or you could have a winter god.

All kinds of helpful, thank you.
Death, Beasts, Winter, Summer, Harvest, I think I can probably run from there.

It makes more sense if she's bending forward from the waist.
