Google. There are many sites that have information. As for Gods and Goddesses read the myths about them or the histories of what people offered them during the height of their belief.
You could also meditate on a particular one and see what message you get.

Thank you but the demon I'm looking for his name looks too much like a verb so whenever I search I don't quite get the right thing
I'm looking for Bathin
