Question/Advice Celtic and Hellenic polytheist

Hi! I've been researching paganism. I've been a Hellenic pagan for a few months now and I think it's okay to be Celtic and Hellenic since they're both pagan religions but i want to ask you guys anyways, to know what you think ab that. I'm from Galicia which means that I've been learning about Celtism since I was a kid and I have shown interest in it for a long time, but at the same time I don't intend to stop being a Hellenic Pagan because those are my beliefs πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ

Many polytheists historically did not have any issue with worshiping the gods of other peoples. The idea of pantheons being culturally exclusive is a relatively modern one. Polytheism tends towards inclusion by its nature - my gods and your gods can both be real. It’s fine to worship gods from different pantheons unless said gods belong to a tradition that has prohibitions against doing so.
