I must also clarify the nature of God's as op also confirms:
On the Pagan circles, people often fall into two camps. One that believes that the Gods are deified ancestors and the other (Platonists) that believe the Gods are so far distant from humans and cannot be imminent or make mistakes.
Both viewpoints are primitive and incorrect. Both viewpoints are completely off what was believed in antiquity
From someone who spends time with the deities. Here is the correct answer:
The Gods are immortal Men and men are immortal Gods
This means the Gods are superhumans with powers and are above humans in intellect and since they are closer to source in consciousness they are above humans in evolution.
How humans behave today would be unthinkable to a deity. However the Gods do have passions, interests of their own and can make mistakes
The Gods are our guides, companions, teachers and no more then this. They will offer boons of both spiritual and material benefit to people who approach them (there is no oppositional dichotomy between spiritual and material gain)
