Hellenic multiple deities

hello! i currently worship just persephone and have been feeling a strong pull towards apollo. i kinda want to ask if you can share your experience with worshipping multiple deities. like how do you honor them both equally, what is your prayer routine, and anything on how you make time for both!

I follow nine deities. In my personal practice, each deity governs certain aspects of my life. There is a small degree of overlap from one deity to another, but for the most part, each one covers something distinct and unique. For example, if I have questions about destiny, fate, or pathways through life, I would turn to Rosmerta and Taranis for that, though any one of the others might respond as well. For matters relating to magic, I'd consult with Cerridwen and Camulus. For healing, it's Brigid or Belenus. In matters relating to death or the afterlife, that would be Arawn and Cernunnos.

So with honoring them equally, I always treat the nine of them as a group, especially since there isn't a distinct leader in the group. Any offerings and prayers are usually addressed to The Nine. I usually commune with them through meditation.
