Introduce pantheon and define
The term pantheon refers to a temple dedicated to all the gods of a particular culture. Pantheons are often built in order to serve as guardians and protectors, and many cultures have used them as sites for burial. In addition, the elite of the culture often are buried inside the temple, where they can be close to various deities. For example, in ancient Egypt, pyramids were built for this very purpose.
The term pantheon comes from the Greek pan (all) and theon (gods), and it was first pronounced as Pantheon by Edmund Burke in a speech delivered in 1790.[1]

Introduce pantheon and define [CITATION]
A pantheon is a group of deities, typically worshipped in a single sanctuary or temple, often as part of a state religion. This article will introduce the concept of pantheons, as well as address how to build one.
Definitions of pantheon [CITATION]
A Pantheon (from Greek ἱερός, i̯erós “god” and ναός, naos “temple”) is a structure reserved for the worship of all the gods of a polytheistic religion. When a religion is practised in a single temple shared by many deities, the different deities are often said to dwell in that one temple. For example, a Hindu temple may be divided into different “shrines” or “devotional spaces”, each housing one or more deities.
How pantheon empowers individuals
With an entire pantheon watching over an individual, that person is likely to feel empowered and attuned to the world around him. Since each deity represents a particular principle or function, an individual with a pantheon of support should be able to draw upon several different aspects of his own personality, depending on the situation in which he finds himself. While this might cause an individual to feel that he is spread too thin at times, the pantheon does provide support for the person should he encounter any difficulty or encounter any sort of crisis. The pantheon can be seen as a strength and as a resource in difficult times.
An individual who is attuned to the pantheon should feel more balanced, centered, and in touch with all aspects of himself. The individual will be able to call upon his own strengths in order to access the strengths that have been endowed upon him by the gods and goddesses as represented by his pantheon. If a family member or friend is facing some sort of difficulty, an individual with a pantheon can contact the deity representing that person’s strengths, who might then intercede on behalf of that person.
What are some of the benefits of being empowered by the pantheon
The benefits of being empowered by the pantheon are varied, depending on what an individual gets out of it. One person might find that he feels more relaxed if he sees that each member of his family has a certain god watching over him or her. Another person might feel comforted at the thought that the entire pantheon is looking out for him if he is ever in danger. There are also those who view the pantheon as an opportunity to meet new friends and partners, people whom they might never have known otherwise. There are also those who benefit from the pantheon simply because it provides them with the sense of being part of something greater than themselves. Whatever the reason for a person’s interest in the pantheon, it is likely that he or she has found a way to make it work for him.
Stories or examples of people who have been empowered by the pantheon
Jack has a pantheon of support, as does his wife Chaz, who is a doctor. Chaz’s father had been a pastor for many years and was a man of great faith. After Chaz was born, her father made sure that she would be baptized in a church as soon as possible so that she would feel closer to God. Jack has had the inspiration to do some good in the world through his pantheon. He believes that people like Chuck, who is always nice and helpful to strangers, have been inspired by Jack. He feels that he is a huge part of Chuck’s life. Soon he will be able to feel the real reason for being on earth. But that is not all; Jack believes that Chuck is only one of many people that feel his presence through the pantheon.
Closing thoughts on pantheon and how it empowers people
While it can be easy to dismiss a pantheon as some sort of superstition, the fact is that it is quite common and natural for individuals to seek the help of those who have already risen above the challenges that they face. The pantheon provides support for one’s life and for one’s spiritual path in a very gentle, unassuming manner. These types of pantheons may help one see the world in a new light and may make him feel more optimistic about his abilities to lead a full life.
The pantheon is something that is part of our lives and it helps us in every way. It provides guidance through one’s life, it helps us to explore new avenues and to take on new challenges and learn something new, while at the same time it keeps itself hidden away in order to not distract or disturb the individual who seeks its help. This is the beauty of the pantheon – it is something that provides security and peace of mind.
One intimate knowledge that all individuals who have a pantheon, whether one that was passed down through the generations or one that is newly discovered, has is that even though the pantheon might not always provide what we want when it is needed most, it provides something far more important than any material thing could ever do – it provides an understanding of ourselves and a greater understanding of our place in this world. By opening our eyes a little bit to what the pantheon can offer us, we can find something new within ourselves and we can rise above whatever challenges that we may face in our lives.
