Okay, so, my name is Jovana and I'm from Serbia. I've been raised orthodox all my life but even as a kid, I was never drawn to that religion and I never felt the connection. Recently I've discovered paganism, and I feel that I might find my fulfillment and path here.
I've realised that I am feeling a strong connection to the nature and the elements, and also the dark side of things (which is why i was drawn to satanism). Also, I am feeling a need to give my respect to a certain higher power. Maybe a god or a goddess, I don't know, like I said, I'm quite new to this.
So, I started researching, but quite a few things aren't clear for me. And I have some questions.
1. How do I know which gods and goddesses I should focus on? As in, there are so many mythologies and traditions and I don't know which one would be the right for me? And I don't know how to find that out because I simply can't realise that by just reading the lore. And I certaly can't try to have a connection with every single god, until I find the right one.
2. If I decide that, I don't know, Greek mythology is the best for me and I start praying and connecting with Ares and then later discover that I also want to connect with Rod (from the Slavic mythology), is that wrong? Should I focus just on one mythology and tradition? And is praising 2 gods forbidden as that I might offend and disrespect the first god? If it is, than again, I return to the first question.
Thanks.
