How are various gods and goddeses perceived by those whose faith embraces beliefs considered pantheistic. Are chosen dieties esteemed as entities unto themselves or simply considered to be as representations regarding particular aspects of the Divine which is immanent in nature and yet transcendant making it beyond comprension and therefore necessary to attach meaning using various achetypes and such making it more accessable to the consciousness of the individual. Kind of a jungian psychology thing, I guess. Most Wiccan types I've met seem to express this view. Not sure about Hindus. I think they believe in Godhead which is ultimately Krishna. All other dieties are seen as personalities of krishna, I think. And so is this actually a polytheistic religion or is it monotheistic afterall in the sense that they believe everything is God
