Voria isn't always PG-certificate. There is always the Demivierge of Rhigos to consider.  
Voriof must be a lot more complicated than one half of Hansel and Gretel too-- not least because there have been times when he has been referred to as a shepherd-boy, and other times when he has been portrayed as a sheep.   
Are the hints that Voriof's parentage is debatable still part of current Gloranthan thinking too, or am I just hopelessly out of date here?  
To me, the sheep/shepherd ambiguity (if it is still current) seems a lot more Helering than Orlanthi ...

Voria is very VERY deep, as is her brother Voriof, but she has no organised cult and she provides magic in a very non-standard, generous, and diffused manner. ie however each individual GM wants :D

I don't think I'd call her "the Disney goddess" even though some Disney-like stories may be appropriate for her -- to put it more simply, the same sort of fairytale mythology for our own children exists in stories about Voria.

> Am I on the right track?

YGWV -- therefore, most definitely YES !!!
