Hail Freya, it's Friday! Here's your 129th #FridayPaganPoll

Today I'm wondering how many pagans worship or work with deities/entities from different pantheons, versus staying within one regional system. This is tricky because of synchretism and archetypes, but I'm just looking for a general idea. As always, replies are welcome!

@yourmythiclife ah well, sometimes polls on mastodon don't federate properly. My polls are usually more about starting conversations than recording data, so, how would you describe your pantheon?

@Cat_LeFey My comment: I consider myself a nontheistic polytheist. I use and honor deities, but they're not the most important thing in my practice. Still, I mainly use Nordic deities, but also look to their ties (linguistic or otherwise) to other pantheons.

@yourmythiclife That sounds similar to how some witches prefer to say they "work with" gods instead of "worship" them. I am personally very religious, but it makes sense to me that people would have different levels relationships with deity in the way we do with other people. Sometimes, you meet someone and fall in love, and they become the center of your life. Others could just be passing acquaintances, or even quite good friends. I think we humans need all different kinds of relationships to feel fulfilled, and so I can only assume that the gods are happy to do so as well.
