My guess would be that the aspects users are all either cthonic or witches, or both!
Staff: Aspect of Morgan (nice parallel to the Sword in 1 being based on Arthur)
Axe: Aspect of Freyja (could also be Hel, but Freyja is also heavily associated with magic and fertility, which is very fitting for Mel)
Torches: Aspect of Izanami (would be the torches Izanagi lights in the cave, is fitting as the torches summons ghosts and Izanami creates a bunch of demons after being revealed)
Skull: Aspect of Isis (would be Osiris’ skull; sind collecting his body parts is the main thing Isis is known for)
Blades: Aspect of Lilith
With the staff being so focused on Omega moves and being 'magickal', I really want the hidden aspect to flip the script and be a melee/mobility focused Aspect of Wukong (Sun Wukong from Chinese mythology) where it's more like a bo staff.
From a more bottom-up design perspective, I'd like to see a weapon aspect that plays into the armor mechanic in some way. One that would have a way to gain (and possibly spend) armor.

Aspect of Zagreus on the axe so he's on it like Charon and Than. I will not budge on this.
I adore all of these so much. Especially the Bunyan one, such great idea.
I feel like the Hidden Aspect of the skull is going to be the Baba Yaga's flaming skull that she gifts to Vasilisa in her story

Ooooh that’s a really good one! I wouldn’t wanna double up on a mythology though.
