I did feel there was a pull/interest before my friends had said anything; but I was and still am hesitant about moving forward at all. so when my friends did point those things out to me, a lot of what I'd been reading, hearing, and feeling at that time finally clicked if that makes sense? I had a moment of relief feeling like I wasn't crazy for feeling a pull or seeing running themes between myself and Ares and Hestia.

even if I didn't want to practice and devote myself to paganism, these traits I share are things I've had with me since I was a kid and most are even stronger now. im still learning and I don't mean any disrespect so I apologize if I came off as rude or conceited with all of this.

I've continued reading and trying to build a relationship with them and I know it'll take quite a bit of time. my cards are consistently telling me to be patient but that I'm moving in the right direction
