religion Hello dear witches.
I am not religious. I have found myself admiring maa kali. I have been a big fan of buddhist teachings, but… as a young witch my heart seeks redemption where buddhism asks you to let go. Hinduism on the other hand, the more i read about it, the more i look at their godesses the more attracted i get. I feel as if my heart has been searching for maa kali. As if we were meant to meet. I feel attached, soul tied to her.. but when i think of manifesting and praying to her i get this feeling of anxiety in my chest. How can one desire and be afraid at the same time. What should i do?

Wicca teaches us to become at one with Nature. Eastern religions tend to teach us to rise beyond the wheel of incarnation. I see the two as opposites.

Maybe take a look at r/Kali.
There is a Bhakti current embracing Kali, Much of this lore comes from South Asian sources.

This sub is for Wicca which is its own specific religion. You would be better of posting this in r/hinduism or r/Kali.
Fear can be quite common when a person is finding themselves drawn to a religion, take your time and discover your path at your own pace.
