%X This essay is part of an ongoing research and writing project exploring the metaphysical nature and identity of the entities acknowledged as gods and spirits by polytheistic religions. It reintroduces the ancient metaphysical field of daemonology as an important element within philosophy and mysticism. Emanation Theory, as expounded by traditions such as the Qabala and Neoplatonism, is used as a context for understanding the multifaceted natures and roles of the polytheistic gods. The Astral/Formative plane as a medium for the personalization of the ¡®secondary causes,¡¯ and human relationship with them, is discussed.
