Thank you for linking that thread, it's good food for thought. I think I'm behind in all this since the deities I have a relationship with are the ones who sought me out—and they don't belong to any pantheons I'm aware of!—so I never ended up really thinking about pantheons in anything other than an abstract way (e.g. characters in a play, or perhaps if you twisted my arm, wedges of the cosmic pie that is existence). Perhaps this is why I've been spending so much mental energy on pondering gods-vs-dæmons, and how the Neoplatonic notion of gods relates to the pantheons...
