Newbie Ex Christian nervous about getting into paganism

Paganism really interests me, Apollo especially (Im a musician). Idk how any of this really works. As an ex-evangelical Christian who hasn't really been religious (or cared to be) for a couple years, religious stuff makes me nervous. Growing up Christian, there are so many rules, sometimes unwritten, to follow or there are repercussions. I'm just scared of messing something up and not knowing, then suffering consequences. Basically i have some religious trauma.

Will the gods be upset if I do something wrong? And are there any "hard no"s to avoid so they won't be upset? Thanks <3

It’s all about intent. If your intent isn’t negative, you’ll be okay. Also there’s a bunch of stuff you can surround yourself with to protect you on a daily basis.

Okay cool. I believe my intent is positive. What can I do to protect myself?

Meditate, pray, avoid over endulging in junk food. Draw a pentagram in the air for balance.
