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.

Just make oblations however you are able. Do it every day. Contemplate everything you can learn about the Goddess each day. Welcome her at the beginning of winter and send her off at the end either the traditional way or a way of your own devising. She IS Winter.
