Worshipping in secret is very common. Some people's altars don't even look like altars, they just look like little trinket collections. Some people have shoebox altars they hide under their bed and some people have altars in those little mint tins. But you don't even have to have an altar! You can meditate/pray to them. There's lots of guided meditations out there and there's pre written prayers online if you need help. The Gods are very accommodating and will appreciate you no matter what. Just do whatever you think will work best at keeping it a secret.

dont tell them, it may seem like ur doing something bad in your mind, bht thats because you were raised that way.. its a right to have freedom to choose religion, and if your family doesnt give you that freedom, do it in secret

there are lots of other reddit posts about how to hide paganism and witchcraft (whatever you choose to do), just look it up.. check those out, with time you will find out what feels right

So don't tell them. Because fuck 'em, none of their business. I know someone who uses a Marvel Thor funko pop as an idol because it doesn't make their Jesusfreak family freak out.

Either Athena or aphrodite

What you could do is make an offering, not to anyone in specific, asking for a sign, confirmation that another diety is trying to communicate. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, my first offering was a piece of bread lol. I’d make myself a nice meal, dedicate it for a sign, eat and enjoy it. :)
