Polytheism

Polytheism is a belief in and/or worship of multiple gods and goddess'. The word comes from the Greek, "Poly" which means many and "Theoi" which means gods. You have Soft Polytheism and Hard Polytheism. Many modern day Wiccans are Soft Polytheists, which means that believe in many gods but believe them to be aspects of The God or The Goddess. Whereas a Hard Polytheist, such as an Asatruar, believes each god and goddess is an individual entity, with their own personality and character and is not part of a greater whole.

Polytheist

Someone who believe in and/or worships more than one deity; the antonym for monotheist. Polytheism is common in contemporary Paganism, and many non-western religions, such as Shinto and some forms of Hinduism. It and was also a feature of many ancient religions, such as the religion of the Ancient Greeks. There are two subtypes of polytheists, soft polytheists and hard polytheists. Soft polytheists believe that they believe in many gods and goddesses but consider them all to be aspects of one God or one Goddess. It is common in some forms of Hinduism, as well as in some contemporary Pagan religions, such as Wicca. In contrast, hard polytheists believe all gods to be distinct entities, each one with his or her own characteristics and personality. Hard polytheism is a feature of some contemporary Pagan religions, especially the ones leaning more towards reconstruction of the religious beliefs of ancient cultures, such as Hellenic Polytheism, Asatru, Kemetism, and Celtic polytheism.
Jane is a follower of Asatru. Therefore she honours the Norse gods, and believes each one of them to be a distinct entity with a different personality and characteristics. This means Jane is a polytheist.

Polytherikin

This is a lot like an Otherkin, however, Polytherikins are people who have a bit of both Otherkin and Therian.
So part animal/part mythical creature.
