    Worshiping more than one Deity

    If you do worship more than one deity, how do you go about it? Do you share the worship between them? Give the god you're closest to just a bit more but also give reverence or worship to the others? How do you do it?

    I think you're waaaaay overthinking.

    When I'm trying to figure out how to have more than one friend, I don't think about sharing the friendship between them, giving the friend I'm closest to a bit more but also spend time with others, or any of that. I just have more than one friend. That's all.

    Relationships with gods are just a subcategory of relationships. You already know how to go about having relationships; take that knowledge and apply it.

    Worship is not like a cup of sugar that gets used up; there's enough to go around.

    Now, if you're asking about time management with worship of multiple deities, that's something completely different.

    Like what a lot of people say in poly circles when asked about managing multiple romantic relationships: love in unlimited, it's just time that isn't.
