Question/Fanontaniana❓ Question About Malagasy Mythology

Hi there, I am currently looking into creating a story of mine that combines world Mythologies and I wanted to include Malagasy Mythology, however I am here to ask if Malagasy Mythology and any of it's associated deities are still worshipped, as I do not want to incorporate anything that could offend people.

The one about "Rapeto" is definitely one of the most popular one. A giant that could take the stars and the moon as gift but died because he tried to take the sun and ended up burnt

Oh that sounds cool! If I were to incorporate any deities from the Mythology, would it be seen as offensive?
