I'll take the 'Unbeliever' route out: Mythgarthr is both. As for the 
Valfather
and co. (Are they Overcyns?  The Knight implies so, but I don't know 
what The Wizard
sez.) since they are the gods of that plane, we should expect them to be 
mythic
or archetypal, since those interpretations would have more adherents; 
parents
are of course achetypal, and the Lady's association with the Moon even 
more so.

I could, of course, be wrong; but since when has that stopped any of us?
