Steven Dillon's book is a major contribution to the polytheist revival, taking on the big questions about the Gods and the world in a way that will be useful to polytheists in any tradition, or to seekers just trying to understand a polytheistic worldview. Dillon draws upon major currents of the Western philosophical tradition without requiring any prior familiarity with these. Through his careful, step-by-step arguments, the reader will come to see the rational basis for devotion to the Gods.

Description
Scattered articles, impenetrable vocabularies; until now there has yet to be a single volume that shows what all things look like in the big picture from a polytheist perspective. Pagan Portals - Polytheism: A Platonic Approach fills that gap. Drawing on the wisdom of the Platonists, this book gives the reader a comprehensive, unified and accessible tour of reality, from the rather innocuous assumption that something is beyond Nature to the profound and thunderous unravelling of all things from the gods.
