I do not think I share your view of what mysticism is, but this:

> the creator up in the clouds ruling the universe

is what e.g. the olympic gods were, i.e. something that Christianity decries as idols, doesn't accept to be the truth and intends to overcome.

But the olympian gods surely were not portrayed as perfect or almighty, but full of flaws.

Not as perfect, although their origins were, but almighty as in unaccountable, unquestionable, and above any natural limits, yes.
