Wonderful, only note: what do you think of the hypothesis of giving in place of Dimensional Ancestry Aeon -> Starflight (as Great Old One, Cthulhu – d20PFSRD which is a demi-deity)? I have always seen the Aeons as entities of the Astral Plane that protect the balance of the Great Beyond rather than Space. Although the appearance of many Aeons is very "Cosmic".
Why a guisarme? I think a morning star would make more sense. Also, if you make Desna, I think she should have the Dream and Space portfolios instead of Dream and Travel
If I ever build Desna I will give her Dream and this Space (or a similar version of mine) as Portfolios + the Travel as a bonus.

Greater starflight seems far too strong imo, but normal starflight I think just could be a solid stand in not for dimensional ancestry (not sure why you'd want to get rid of that tbh) but Shadow Self I could see it being a better choice.
 

I altered it. I think Aeon makes sense for single portfolio, it grants the Star God some space themed abilities and capabilities without flat out giving them space travel at that point.

For a double deity however, I can get behind them traveling the stars. I added starflight in lieu of Shadow Self at Demigod. Thanks for the suggestion.

I like the single portfilio god being more like an astronomer vice an astronaut. I think that makes more sense. I think there's a place for ground based gods of space and stars within a pantheon or society of Immortals.

Greater Starflight is between the base Starflight of the Shantank and the Starflight of the Sidereals. For a demi-deity i think will work.
Because the Aeon does not have real connection with the Outer Space if not for their aspect. Also Desna and Black Butterfly, the only true deities with connection with the Outer Space are CG, very far from the "Beyond passion, beyond mercy, beyond reason" of the Aeons. They are a collective, a collection of cells, without a single name or identity, which act as the immune system of the Universe / Demiurge / Time Lord. The video game Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous shows this well with the Aeon Path.
Only for the Single Portfolio this will be changed, for the double Shadow Self is good.

I added basic starflight. I still stand with what I said regarding starflight, I think thats fine. Regarding Aeons, change it for yours if you want but, this is my version of it.
