You're a polytheist. Your deities will not get jealous of you for talking to other gods or pantheons; you also do not need to ask them for permission to invoke other deities.

You don't need a hierarchy in the deities you worship. But you may. You're allowed to have favorites. You're allowed to have a patron/matron. You're allowed to center your worship around one deity.

You don't have to talk to every deity you worship every day. It's okay to only talk to a deity when you need their help. You're allowed to have loose relationships with deities. You're allowed to have "work relationships" with deities.
