While I think majority of us can agree most pagans are polytheistic, there still is variety. I myself believe in one creator with many names, or forms.

I believe that there are many Gods and Goddesses that we can choose to worship from.

For me, the goddesses/gods are personas of different facts of life. For example, constantly changing things up and being unpredictable is Loki, wandering and becoming wiser through sacrifice is Odin. These personalities are symbols which can guide us, and within us they take on an identity within oneself.

I am Norse Pagan, but rather than Asatru, I am Rokkatru/Jotnatru and worship the "frost giants" as deities and spirits of their respective natures. I still worship the Aesir and Vanir, but not the same way as in Asatru. I don't hold the Eddas as "gospel" because they were written by a Christian, so there is too much room for bias and even unintentional omission and alteration. I don't think it is as much "us vs them" as the Eddas make, and most of the stories don't align with the Havamal, which is essentially a long-winded "commandments" and the real meat of most Norse Paganism. But that's just my take.

I believe there is/are/always will be: subjective realities vs objective reality. Objective reality being simple laws of physics like gravity. Subjective realities being the various theistic ideologies, personal life experiences. I personally subscribe eclectically amongst Afro-Latinx diaspora practices, with an emphasis on candle spells, herbalism, angel magic, affirmative prayers, incense, ancestor veneration, meditation, smudging, ritual bathing, and working with saints/angels/lwas/orishas/historical figures/etc. as a means of them interceding to the Supreme creator that is both male and female, yet simultaneously neither. A powerful Life force that is far too distant for me to speak to directly. Except that I go to these spiritual deities for prayers of intercession, instead of going to priests/priestesses/pastors/ministers/etc. from any particular organized religious institutions. But to each person, may they forever remain true to their selves and live their best lives.

I consider myself, in the broadest sense, a naturalistic pantheist. While I do not believe in the literal existence of gods + goddesses (though I'm not averse to the idea), I believe that they are powerful archetypes in the Jungian sense: they are the names and characteristics we've given to the forces of nature and human emotions in all their terrifying, beautiful glory. I like to use this quote from the book Godless Paganism to sum up how I see the gods and goddesses - "The gods are archetypes, but the archetypes are gods." The way I interpret that is this: to dismiss the gods as just archetypes misses the point; they aren't just symbols but the sum total of our understandings about the universe given form by our collective imaginations. Stories are powerful things that can change how we see the world and each other, and when we understand the gods are more than just words on a page, not in any literal supernaturalist sense but in the sense that we can understand what they are, only then can we understand the interconnected nature of reality.

I believe in Pantheism as the view that the world is either identical to God, or an expression of God’s nature.“God is everything and everything is God.” I do not exclude the consciousness of the world/cosmos/nature itself, so I communicate with it through meditation and rune divination.
As for the rules of conduct, one rule is enough for me - "If it harm none, do what you will" (Wiccan Rede)

i consider myself polytheistic, i do believe some gods are created but most are truly divine. I lean towards being a druid and worshiping celtic deities, but i do respect all gods.
edit: i just thought of something else. I'm think gods are energy. not beings but kinda like a consciousness without a kind and take shape however we best can understand them, that's why gods look different to individuals.
as a very logical person, this is how I best understand it. although, we can never truly completely understand how the divine works.

Personally, I am a Norse Pagan. However, I am of the belief that every God and entity worshipped and believed in exists. How? Not sure, but I think they exist and deserve respect, regardless of what one individual personally believes. (Having said that, I don't think there's one ultimate God over all other Gods, but that is just my personal opinion so take with salt and throw it to the wind if you feel like it.)

I was Hellenic for a bit but I think I'm drifting more towards general paganism/spiritualism. I used "the gods" in a more general sense now and won't really be specific on which gods. I think I need to look into what I really believe in a bit more.

I personally believe in Omnism so every religion has some sort of truth to it but personally, I practice Paganism and Luciferianism.

I've been a Druid for half my life, since 1999. I am an animist, and as such I don't worship the old Celtic gods, but I do revere them in their association with aspects of nature. I do have a small statue of Gaia in my apartment.

💋Hellenic Polytheist (I'm a devotee to Lady Aphrodite), Satanist (Baphomet worshiper here), and Santa Muerte devotee.
However, these are just the God & Godesses i choose to worship & be devoted to, i believe that all Deities are real if you believe they are, who am i to judge or chastise you for who you believe in?

I'm generally a Hellenic pagan (though I work with Hekate the most) but I also have some chaos witch beliefs ie. I believe that any sort of god or deity exists because people believe in them and give them power.

Hellenic Polytheist (I actively worship a sizeable chunk of the pantheon), though I believe there are other gods I just don't work/ have a connection with. I sometimes consider looking into other pantheons or religions, but I never got so far as to actually do it

I think there is one thing through which all things exist. Nothing is separate from that one thing.
