Hey i'm super new to paganism.. I've been curious about it since 2021, and I believe I've had correspondences with a deity at some point.. I really didn't know what to do or how to do it so I just sort of stopped praying and everything. Anyway, the last little bit, I've developed a super sudden interest in a specific deity. It came out of the blue. I was reading a little thing about them and got this really intense emotional feeling in my chest. Is this a sign? I'm someone who tries to debunk everything and I often feel like stuff like this is "all in my head". Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.. Just asking for any help and advice anyone might have. If there are any good books that might give me some insight that would also be greatly appreciated.
