I was just wanting a code review on this image slider I made. I don't have anyone else to give me their opinion on the code I write outside of work.

Is this sloppy? Is it wrong? Is it ineffective? Does it have bad performance?

You can see my repo on the slider here.

deitySlider.js

var deitySlider = { 
    
    init: function(userDefinedOptions) {
        options = userDefinedOptions;
        settings.images = document.querySelectorAll(options.slider + " > img");
        settings.stages = settings.images.length;
        slider = document.getElementById(options.slider.slice(1));
        
        initCaptionElement();
        initNavigation();
        initHoverEvent();
        deitySlider.cycle(); //Load first slide.

        setTimerInterval(); 
        
        function initHoverEvent() {
            if(!options.pauseOnHover) return;
            slider.addEventListener("mouseover", function() {
            clearInterval(settings.interval);
            }, false)
            
            slider.addEventListener("mouseout", function() {
            if (settings.interval != null)
                setTimerInterval();
            }, false)
        }
        
        function initCaptionElement() {
            if (!options.captions) return;
            slider.appendChild(document.createElement("div")).className = "deity-captions";
            slider.getElementsByClassName('deity-captions')[0].innerHTML += '<div class="deity-title"></div>';
        }

        function initNavigation() {
            if(!options.directionNav) return;
            slider.appendChild(document.createElement("div")).className = "deity-directionNav";
            slider.getElementsByClassName('deity-directionNav')[0].innerHTML += '<a class="deity-prevNav">'+ options.prevText +'</a><a class="deity-nextNav">'+ options.nextText +'</a>';
            
            slider.getElementsByClassName('deity-prevNav')[0].addEventListener('click', function() {
            if(settings.stage > 0) settings.stage -= 2;
            else settings.stage = (settings.stages - 2);
            deitySlider.cycle("play");
            setTimerInterval();
            }, false);
            
            slider.getElementsByClassName('deity-nextNav')[0].addEventListener('click', function() {
            deitySlider.cycle();
            setTimerInterval();
            }, false);
        }
        
        function setTimerInterval() {
        if (settings.interval) { clearInterval(settings.interval) };
        settings.interval = setInterval(deitySlider.cycle, options.pauseTime);
        };

            cSettings.images[i].classList.add("hidden");
            
        cSettings.images[cSettings.stage].classList.remove("hidden");
        
        if(cOptions.captions) 
            insertImageCaption();

        function insertImageCaption() {
            var title_text = cSettings.images[cSettings.stage].getAttribute('title');
            var description_text = '<div class="deity-description">' + cSettings.images[cSettings.stage].getAttribute('description') + '</div>';
            var title_div = slider.getElementsByClassName('deity-title')[0];
