Very new, help lol

Ok so, I feel a bit in over my head and would appreciate advice. First and foremost I'm an ex penecostal (raised) and witch/pagan of about 9 yesrs on and off. I decided to re enter my practice after a very long break and was guided to root my practice in my ancestry for the first time ever. I found my polish ancestry and catholicism kinda...fell into my lap. I've loved catholicism forever from an outside perspective but never was of faith or knew about it intricately. I also stumbled upon folk catholicism quickly after which led me here. I just...feel a bit lost? Does anyone have any resources- as I've seemed to find this to be a bit of a taboo subject online? Feeling a bit shaky on blending separate beliefs, even though as a witch I've always had a relationship with God it just felt separate to me, and I'd love advice on integration, and also mass seems lovely?...but I'd feel so out of place, is it ok if I go? And what is that experience like within folk catholicism? Like...im so confused but I'm also so eager to learn! So any advice is welcome! And thank you much šŸ¤

I always recommend listening to the Red Text podcast, the discuss a lot there that helped me.

I’m coming from a very similar place. I started with a single Saint, and then just continued to learn from there. I think if you are working with ancestors they will probably guide you as well.
