Yes, but Eric Kriple wanted to not make it direct worship like believing in them. I wouldn't say psychic energy is what given. I think of it the (act) of the tribute infuses Magic into the tribute. Which gives power to their already source of power. Like how souls can give strength to Angels. As that professor said back in season 1. "Well Pagans believed, all sorts of things were infused with magic." I mean look at Chronos, he took (time) from none worshippers to control his time traveling power. So he took the action onto himself.
