The belief in multiple gods associated with nature and various aspects of life is characteristic of polytheistic religions. Many ancient cultures, as well as some contemporary pagan traditions, hold that there are numerous deities representing different elements of the natural world, such as the sun, moon, rivers, trees, and more.
For example, ancient Roman and Greek religions featured a pantheon of gods, each overseeing different domains. Similarly, various indigenous belief systems around the world often involve recognizing numerous spirits or deities tied to natural phenomena and landscapes.
Contemporary pagan movements, such as Wicca, also embrace nature veneration and may honor multiple deities, which can reflect a belief in the divine presence in the natural world. These belief systems often emphasize the interconnectedness of all living things and the sanctity of nature itself.
