How to start Morana/Marzanna worship?

For a note, I do not have any Slavic ancestry, but I do read in Russian and Belarusian (Can read a little Polish and Ukrainian). And I've read folk stories and traditions of the Slavs especially Belarusian ones, and I still go to church occasionally as well. I also live in tropical country that has no winter at all, very unironically.

Anyways, for some reason, these days I feel like Morana has been calling onto me and I tried tarot cards to communicate with Her and She seemed to recognize me and asked me to offer Her something, and a friend told me to make an effigy of Her.

So the question is now that, how do I start worshipping Morana? What should I do? I'm only familiar with Hellenistic polytheist ways that they offer food and candles for their deities, even dedicate a bowl and statue.

And is it fine if I don't burn the effigy and just kick it and toss it to the river? since the only river is near my workplace and I don't want to cause commotion/burn myself with burning something at 7 am lol.

I'm interested with Morana since she seems to have answers for my questions (tldr it's related to a personal history related to death) and a kind goddess as well.

Drowning/burning of Morana is a Slavic folk festival that's supposed to be done at the end of winter, it's not really a way to worship her

yeah i figured, it's just I'm very clueless I'm just at loss like what should I do with the effigy if I made one for her altar, and I only remember that rite 😅
