I had faith the Aztecs could provide an X, and they did:
Xochiquetzal, goddess of fertility and sexual power
So L now.
From Wikipedia:
In Aztec mythology, Xochiquetzal (IPA: [ʃotʃi'ketsal]) was a goddess associated with concepts of fertility and female sexual power, serving as a protector of young mothers and a patroness of pregnancy, childbirth, and the crafts practised by women such as weaving and embroidery. Unlike several other figures in the complex of Aztec female earth deities connected with agricultural and sexual fecundity, Xochiquetzal is always depicted as an alluring and youthful woman, richly attired and symbolically associated with vegetation and in particular flowers. By connotation, Xochiquetzal is also representative of human desire, pleasure, and excess, appearing also as patroness of prostitutes and artisans involved in the manufacture of luxury items.

I thought I'd search through some Asian myths and settled on:
Sun Wukong - the Monkey King
He is the main character in the classical Chinese epic novel Journey to the West.
Sun Wukong possesses an immense amount of strength, and superb speed. Sun knows 72 transformations, which allows him to transform into various animals and objects; he is, however, shown with slight problems transforming into other people, since he is unable to complete the transformation of his tail. He is a skilled fighter, capable of holding his own against the best generals of heaven. Each of his hairs possesses magical properties, and is capable of transforming into a clone of the Monkey King himself, or various weapons, animals, and other objects. He also knows various spells in order to command wind, part water, conjure protective circles against demons, freeze humans, demons, and gods alike.
Jet Li did a fairly fun rendition of Sun Wukong in the Forbidden Kingdom, demonstrating the hair's ability to create a clone.
So G is next

Gaia - Greek Primordial Goddess, Great Goddess, Mother Goddess. The ever lasting foundation of the Gods of Olympus. The Earth.

A, hmm too easy if I use Greek, so...
Anubis, Egyptian god of the dead, associated with mummification and the afterlife. I know it's irreverent, but I tend to think of him as the "dog-faced god," when in truth he is jackal-headed.
So back to S

Nice choice...
Sekhmet, She who is powerful. The Eye of Ra. Healer, Mother, Protector, Destruction. If I remember correctly she had dominion over Upper Egypt while Bast had dominion over Lower Egypt.
So it goes to T
