Interesting that you brought God-names into this. One of the thoughts I intend to explore with this is the idea that pagan gods relate or reflect different aspects of the psyche, some of which manifest within us. A structured course of deity-invocation -- like pathworkings or "rising through the aethyrs" -- seems to take us through the whole spectrum, as a way of integrating all of these psychic aspects into our individuality.

No monotheistic religion has a single conception of God. Judaism, as you point out, uses different God names. Christianity has at least three (if you exclude qualities like charis and soteria which may be additional aspects of God). Islam has the 99 Names of God.
