If by "possesses" in that first sentence you mean "takes possession of" then...perhaps? I hadn't thought about it that way, but I think that would hold.

Your second assertion brings up a whole lot of points that could be examined in light of later esoteric writings, of which I'm even less familiar, but...my belief is that us mortals have a tripartite structure (anima-spiritus-corpus, or soul-"etheric" body-material body). In my view, the gods exist at "higher" (non-corporeal) ontological strata, although the lower strata are, in effect, functions of the gods, administered by various intermediate spirits, although any particular god or gods could arguably intercede more directly, if they so chose. Again, these are my personal views, but I'd be interested in hearing others'.
