Several years back, Greg Stafford was keen to make the Storm and Solar pantheons more "self-sufficient": Elmal was invented to be the Orlanthi sun god, and Shargash as the Yelmic storm god. The apparent overlap between the pantheons then emerges as a historical phenomenon (starting with First Age contacts)... if you want!

I'd have thought so, by her priestesses and devotees, if only in so far as there is only One Earth (or Four, or Sixty-Four; depending who's counting).
You might enjoy Jeff Richard's take on the Esrolian cult of the Magna Mater (a mystery cult which claims to be a survival from the universal Earth worship of the Green Age), here:
