A Mother Goddess, smaller deities representing their trade, rituals. Not too much difference from the Roman Pantheon.
The vast amount of rituals was adapted because the Roman belief system was based on contracts. If the worshipper performed his deal of the "contract" well, eg performing a ritual or making a sacrifice, the deity was obliged to perform its part.
I know that my statement upset you, but if looked on without the bias it does resemble Roman polytheism.
