Default Do your gods play nicely with others?
Sorry about the title! I was trying to think of a more suitable one, but the image of baby- dieties in kindergarten, whapping each other over the head with toys, simply would leave me!

For us polytheists, how do the gods you've chosen (or the gods that have chosen you) behave toward one another? If they come from one pantheon, do they interact pretty much as they have in myths? If they come from several cultures, do the ones from one group kind of stick with their own crowd, or does everyone mix nicely? Do they simply not interact at all?

Since there are no other gods, I have no way of knowing.

That's certainly an understandable and agreeable viewpoint. I was more asking the polytheistic pagans among us, but I'm glad to hear what you believe, too.

I honestly have no idea how my gods get along and even less of an idea of what they are up to lol. It's a great question though. In myth, the Norse Gods and Goddesses all get along pretty well, till Odin decides to descends or Loki gets an idea. In Asatru, we pray to the gods, we toast them, we honor them, but most of our daily interaction are with the spirits (house wights, land wights, etc) and our ancestors. I wouldn't imagine that my gods would be all that interested in other gods from other traditions. I'd guess they are like us, pretty much concerned with our own folk.

If there were other Gods, I doubt very much Eris would get on well with any of them.

I believe that all the gods and goddesses originate from the all powerful male and female aspect of the One. So I believe that it would only be natural that they could interact with one another nicely, if they interact at all.

Very interesting, all! (And I believe essentially the same thing, Orion!)

Mine tend to hang out according to 'job function', the gods and goddesses of compassion working together, while the ones that try to encourage me to face healthy conflict (warrior dieties and the like) seem to connect by being frustrated with me for continued inability to do so. I think perhaps that my perception of how they interact is based upon how I percieve the different parts of my personality interacting.
