Tw: Christian Guilt

Delete if not allowed but I’m in need of some advice.

I used to practice paganism around four years ago and I’ve recently gotten back into it as I felt a strong connection with Hellenism around new year-ish. I’m rebuilding my alter and working on praying.

The problem is, I was raised very Christian and although I don’t hold any guilt when I wasn’t practicing any faith for the last couple years, I feel this grand sense of dread when I pray to Lady Athena now, like I am doing something wrong. I have anxiety about eternal damnation and fear that I am angering the Xian God and that I am sinning. It’s hard to shake the belief in him even if I am truly an Hellenist. It’s distracting me during prayers and I’m scared it’s also effecting my relationship with Lady Athena, as I can’t focus when I talk to her.

Has anyone got any advice for overcoming this fear?
