So one weird thing about being a polytheist is the love that you have for your gods. Like, I have absolute adoration for my deities. They are my friends, guides, guardians, teachers, comforters, protectors and family. Even just thinking of them puts me in a good mood. I am in no way trying to suggest that monotheists don’t have this with their deity, I’m just saying that to have this with a whole pantheon makes me feel like I’m part of an extended spiritual family, especially when I add in the fellowship of other polytheists. It’s hard to describe but it’s a wonderful feeling.
