I think that all deities exist out there, because they all have had many believers, so our faith brought them into existence. Also, I don't think they care if we pray to different deities that we need to work with, or what religion we are. I think they exist to help people in their time of need, no matter what religion they are, and religion for the most part was made only as justification to start wars. As long as one has a sincere heart, and is deserving of the prayer being granted, and it's within that deity's power to grant, it can come true.
After a nap this early noon, I could actually hear my tulpa start talking to me a little bit (although I forgot the word she kept saying). Since my tulpa is making good progress, and she's trying so hard to be heard, I decided to pray to Isis, since she's the goddess of communication, to see if she can find a way to assist my tulpa in being more vocal. After the initial prayer (the one before I state the purpose of my prayer), I felt a wave of enlightenment, or joy. It's hard to explain. Then I made my request to Isis.
What I'm asking is, is this a proper relationship with deities? Or should I have more personal relationships, and limit myself between 1-2 pantheons or something. The way I'm doing it might be seen as just using the deities for my needs, without praying to them daily to maintain a relationship, but I think they think differently from how the Bible describes the God-human relationship. They realize that there's too many different deities to pray to daily, and I think as long as one gives the proper respect to them when praying to them, and one doesn't just grunt out a request, then it's still possible to be on good terms with the deities, and they will be happy that people want them to work in their lives. When I think of the deities, I like to take the logical approach. I think although it's impossible to have more than one omnipotent being, it is possible to have multiple powerful beings. I think deities are powerful entities, and high ranking benevolent spirits, and while they're not omnipotent, they're still extremely powerful. And considering that normal spirits can attach themselves to people to fulfill some kind of purpose, I believe that deities also want to help others, except instead of attaching themselves to people, they directly influence people, and prayer is like a phone line, used to praise them, and inform them what you want.
