The Chaos "Gods", IMHO, break all the normal rules of Gloranthan magic. I'd say Thanatari can consume most forms of Theistic and Animistic magic, though I think they would have a harder time with some Wizardry, like Scriptures, Blessings and Formularies.

Unless of course, the spirit was also trapped and bound inside the head. I would probably require that the fetish or charm that the spirit lived in was somehow desecrated during the Head creation ritual.
You could rule that the 3 divisions of the Thanatari fall along the 3 worlds division - Atyar is a Sorcery, Than is a Spirit-Tradition, and Thanatar a God.
