In modern society, Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca and Taoism are the best examples of a functioning polytheism. However, many older religions can also be considered polytheistic. The word 'polytheistic' derives from Greek and literally means "many gods". Thus, any religion that reveres many gods instead of one all-powerful god is polytheistic. In general, polytheistic religions are extremely old, by which I mean people mostly only practiced them a long time ago, and most have since died out. We've come to know these dead religions as mythology, yet Ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse and Sumerian cultures all took these myths extremely seriously. Eventually, the spread of monotheism (ie:Christianity, Islam, Judaism) gained momentum and converted or persecuted all but a few of the old polytheists.
Polytheism itself is not a religion, so there are really no 'practices' common to all polytheists. Many, many groups, ancient and modern, believe(d) in many gods. Practices are as diverse as culture itself.

Worship of One God, generally not even countenancing the existence of any others. Worshipping just your God, but allowing that others might have gods of their own is henotheism.
honestly it only takes one. If you wish to worship something other than god or whatever then do it and if you do it and someone sees you and asks you what your doing answer them tell them you are worshipping who or whatever you are worshipping.
