I love Epona, thanks. She is like the only Celtic deity that was worshipped by the Romans--the Roman Cavalry adopted her.
You know, I'm learning a lot through Wikipedia's information on mythology and deities. In this case, I thought to see if one of the Native American tribes might have a god or goddess for our "A."
Ahsonnutli (also spelled Estsanatlehi and Etsanatlehi)
Ahsonnutli is one of the creating deities of the Navaho. The deity is hermaphroditic and helped create the sky and the earth.
So I is next.

Ilmatar: she made the world by breaking some eggs. Finnish Creation Goddess.
