Did Jesus ever tell anybody to worship Mary, the assign appellations to her, to sing songs to her, pray to her, and make her into a goddess, and put her on his Father's throne in heaven?
No, and, for the majority of this neither has the church.
Worship - no, she is honored and venerated. Not worshipped.
assign appelations - are you referring to the Litany? Must be. These are based on a lot of stuff. Lightning hasn't struck yet, so we can't be too far off.
sing songs to her - "On this Day Oh Beautiful Mother" is one of my faves.
make her into a goddess - there is only one God and both Mary and her son, Jesus, refer to Him as Father.
put her on his Father's throne - Jesus isn't even on his Father's throne. Why would she be there?

So do you believe, like Bishop Alfonse di Ligouri, the Societies of Mary, and most Catholics, that there are two paths to
salvation, one through Jesus and the other through Mary? And
that she is more loving and merciful than Jesus and able
to impose her decisions upon him? Is Mary another way to
heaven for those who don't want to go through Jesus? Was
Jesus lying when he said that there is no way to the Father except through him?
