Are there any deities or pantheons that you avoid dealing with?

Avoid as in "not deal with them at all unless I absolutely must"? If so, then any deities I don't know and I don't worship, and any who come from a pantheon other than my own. I'd rather not deal with deities I know nothing about, because I have no idea what to even do around them and I don't wish to offend them. Even if I knew something about the deities in question, they might not want me worshipping them or dealing with them, so I'd rather not unless I'm sure it's alright.
Then there are some deities I avoid dealing with even though I know them and they are a part of the pantheon that I worship. To give an example, I won't deal with the daughters of the god of the underworld unless I really must. They are deities of pain, suffering, injuries and illnesses, and even though they have their less dangerous sides, too, generally the myths and stories seem to warn against them.

I avoid deities that I'm unfamiliar with.
Sort of like, I wouldn't go into the ring without knowing my opponent.
Not that Gods are my opponents but they've no reason to like me, so by knowing them and researching them I can't give them reason to dislike me.

Generally I avoid dealing with the Roman and Hellenic deities as I don't feel a connection to them in anyway. The one exception being Pan as that's the deity my partner follows so I am familiar with him but not familar enough to call upon him in ritual.

For the most part, I guess I stick to my own pantheon. Either way, I've never felt too comfortable with the norse deities.

All of 'em. razz The only ones I'm working with are the ones I've made up, and I'm having fairly good luck with one so far.

Honestly, I work with whoever suites the need. Typically Greek, though the Norse gods have worked really well. Anyone I would avoid would not be a god.

Now that I think about it- I do go round and round with my GF and her betrothed. They're into the fantasy pirate thing- so they really like the Jolly Roger- but the skull and crossbones are symbols of Bakulu and I try really hard to keep them as far away from me as I can.

I avoid the Celtic Gods as I do not know which ones are open and which ones are only there for those who are of that land.

All of them that aren't Roman. Although I am doing some small research on the Norse and Egyptian deities but before I dig into them for more than mythological purposes I need to research on how the Romans would have adapted them.
