OK, let's have at it (before Joerg can:):

Looked at from the:
North--Gata (top right), Empress Earth (bottom right), Earth Witch (bottom left), Genert (top left)
East--Genert (top right), Earth Witch (bottom right), Pamalt (top left), Yanmorla (bottom left)
South--Pamalt (top right), Yanmorla (bottom right), _____________ (bottom left), Lodril (top left)
West--Gata (top left), Empress Earth (bottom left), Lodril (top right), ________ (bottom right)
Top--Gata (NW), Genert (NE), Pamalt (SE), Lodril (SW) Bottom--Empress Earth (NW), Earth Witch (NE), Yanmorla (SE), _________ (SW)

We could reverse Lodril and Pamalt to have Pamalt and Genert at opposite corners of the top, but I like having Pamalt next to Yanmorla and Yanmorla needs to be next to Earth Witch (who guards her doorstep: TotRM 11:20).

Well, I don't know if it means anything, but it's fun. Looks like we're missing an earth deity. I'd like to call it The Higg's Boson.
