What is meant by: "volunteer entirely new pantheons"?
So there's this sentence in the article:

"This is in contrast to mythopoeia, such as the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, which invent their own legends and folklore or volunteer entirely new pantheons."

What exactly is meant with "volunteering" entirely new pantheons? I guess with pantheons this is meant: Pantheon (religion). But shouldn't volunteer be replaced by something like "construct"?
