Paganism is polytheistic, but what Gods each tradition worships is up to that tradition.  Some have a generic God and Goddess figure where the sun is a symbolic representation of the God and the moon is a symbolic representation of the Goddess.  Some traditions center around a specific pantheon, such as Greek, Norse, or Celtic Gods (and Goddesses).  Others still see all Goddesses and Gods as just facets of one Goddess and God, who, in turn, are just masculine and feminine facets of one greater being.   There are “Christian Pagans” who worship the Christian God as the God figure and Mary as the Goddess figure.  In more eclectic forms of Paganism, you choose the Gods you work with (or they choose you)!

If you’re not part of a group, how do you figure out what Gods to work with?  It’s a highly personal question.  You can read about the different pantheons and see if one strikes your fancy.  You can go through the list and see if one or more of them resonates with you.  You can meditate on the subject.  You can try divination as well.  Sometimes they will even make themselves known to you.  I was doing a Circle on Norse runes, when one of my fellow Circle members actually started channeling Tyr with a message for me!  While I am Norse by heritage, I never really worked much with that pantheon previously. 

Here are a number of Gods and Goddesses from different pantheons from all over the world.  In time, I hope to research them all eventually for my own education.  When I create a post for a God or Goddess, I will change each God or Goddess into a link so you can find out more about each.  This project got bigger than I thought it would really quickly, so it will probably be a work in progress for a long time!
