I finally found some good quotes about James Hillman & polytheistic psychology:

“Other, more radical Jungians, such as James Hillman and Mary Watkins, see the value of active imagination in precisely the opposite way - as decentering the ego, dethroning it, leading to a personality which is more polytheistic, more polycentric, more democratic. Here the imaginal others remain autonomous, rather than being dissolved and integrated into the broader self.

James Hillman, of course, is an outspoken proponent of what he calls polytheistic psychology. ‘Of all the moves,’ he writes, ‘none is so far-reaching in cultural implication as the attempt to recover the perspectives of polytheism’ (Hillman, 1983a, p. 41). He equates the classical Jungian focus on the self to a species of monotheism. ‘The preference for self and monotheism,’ he says, ’strikes to the heart of a psychology which stresses the plurality of the archetypes’ (Hillman, 1971/2000, p. 21). Instead, he says, ‘[t]he plurality of archetypal forms reflects the pagan level of things and what might be called a polytheistic psychology. It provides for many varieties of consciousness, styles of existence, and ways of soul-making’ (Hillman, 1970/2000, p. 17). Hillman stands against ‘the strong ego, the suppressive integration of personality, and the unified independence of will’ when they are at the expense of ambivalence, partial drives, complexes, images, vicissitudes. ‘A polytheistic model of the psyche,’ he says, ’seems logical and helpful when confronting the many voices and figments that pop up in any single patient, including myself. I can’t even imagine how we could ever have got on in therapy without a polytheistic background’ (Hillman, 1971/2000, p. 49). And Hillman says, provocatively, “Multiple personality is humanity in its natural condition. In other cultures these multiple personalities have names, locations, energies, functions, voices, angel and animal forms, and even theoretical formulations as different kinds of soul“.

Bingo! There we go. Perfect. That’s just what I’ve been looking for Hillman to come right out and say. Seems like he beats around the bush all the time.
