A bit confused regarding deities that I feel strongly toward

At my first and only Sumbel as a very new and stupid pagan, I called Pele.

Actually, depending on how the Sumbel is opened, broadening it to other pantheons isn't a problem imo; ancestors and heros are already implied as welcome, and deities in other pantheons can come in under either of those auspices or via the simple presence of one of their worshipers. I got almost tackled and murdered when I invoked Diana at a blot, though, before they realized I was talking about a person not a Roman god.

Well, even granting that, this was Connecticut. I guess I should count myself lucky that I was nowhere near a fault line.

Connecticut is near a fault line; it's just a really old one. The Mountains up the east coast mark where two plats have fused together.

That being said, my understanding is that Pele is NOT kindly disposed toward most people...
