Any polytheists here?
I'm on the verge of becoming one. I have very close ties to the Old Norse, what with being decended (on my father's side) from a family of Viking Jarls (villiage leaders).
Any here? tips, suggestions, opinions?
I believe in all gods. But I think all these different gods are aspects of one 'supreme' God. Like colours are aspects of light.

hmmm. i think that christiantiy is kinda like polytheistic religons in that thier 'God' is like a 'chief god' and the archangels, seraphs, and cherubs are 'secondary and minor gods'
its just been interpereted a different way.
Odinism makes sense in a way, in that the Norse Gods are very human. They can even die from natural causes. They're only gods because they're incrdibly powerful and strong.
