Generally... you wouldn't. The entire problem is that in a cosmology where divine magic is
real, either you have a monotheism with a One True Gawd and all the polytheists are heretics, or you have a polytheism (or competing polytheisms) and the monotheists are restricting themselves by only acknowledging and accepting power from one deity instead of several.
The two ideas are mostly (not entirely) incompatible. I
think GURPS Religion goes into this, but it's been too long since I've read through it in detail to remember.
