Your 12-faced Godhead is too interesting for me to ignore. Using Jung's convenient 12 Common Archetypes as a guide, I think we could hammer out the 5 goddesses. Let's nail down the gods to reduce clutter 1. The Father is obviously the Ruler/King archetype 2. The Warrior is very obviously the Hero/Warrior archetype 3. The ShamanHealer is again obviously the Magician/Shaman archetype 4. The PoetSinger is the Creator/Writer archetype 5. The Trickster is the Jester/Fool archetype 6. Farmer is trickier- the Everyman/Worker archetype, perhaps? 7. Hunter is difficult- the image of freedom, wandering, and autonomy suggests the Explorer/Wanderer archetype
Which leaves us: 1. The Innocent/Saint archetype: right conduct, hope, innocence- Maiden? 2. The Caregiver/Parent archetype: care, protection, compassion- Mother? 3. The Sage/Philosopher archetype: truth, intelligence, wisdom- Crone? 4. The Lover/Spouse archetype: intimacy, passion, commitment- Lover? 5. The Rebel/Misfit archetype: revolution, revenge, scandal, anarchy- Harlot? Make the Lover and the Harlot a sibling duo?
That's as close as I can get it. Seeing as Jung is/was your bread and butter, you may have a better idea of it.

This is just an on-the-fly thought experiment for me, so I haven't got a lot of interest in fleshing it out at the moment. But press on, young man!
I did note a problem with the 7 male/5 female count. Cuts down on the number of goddesses to mate with!
Perhaps a couple of the gods are more interested in each other than in the goddesses? ;)
