So, I recently had a bit of a falling out with a friend group. During this falling out, one of my now ex-friends said someone else they're friends with, who is a hereditary witch, did a tarot reading on me and my practice and said that all of the deities and spiritual entities I work with are actually just tricksters. This includes the deity I believed to be my patron who has been around me for six years.

At this point, I'm completely unsure what to do. I've put up stronger protections and pretty much forced every entity in my space away. I was tempted to give up my practice, but it's something I care so much about. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations on what steps to take?
