Is It Wrong To Get Another Fa' Reading?

Hello, I am ridiculously stuck and have been for months. I was fortunately able to receive an Afa reading from what I presumed to be a legitimate Ewe Vodun priest(s), but I felt it was lacking because not only was I told that my calling was to be trained in Afa (and told it would take more than 10,000 which I cannot afford) but also that I rarely had any deities with the exception of the deity named Afa which I googled and there wasn't one named that and it was the name of the practice I got my reading from. Not only that, but I was told things would be better for me if I bought one of their bracelets, and one of the priests was so pushy and insistent on me paying to purchase for their cleaning services and other things that would be $1,100 in total and how my one of my main ancestors are hungry and should be fed NOW and that paying them would feed them, I felt so frustrated that I just stopped talking to them entirely because I felt like I'd been scammed. They were accurate on some things, but the reason I wanted a reading was to see if I was being called because I have so much in the way of dreams...

I would like another reading from someone different, but I googled if I should get one and it said something about how everything will be muddled spirtually-wise and I should only have one Fa/Afa/Ifa reading in my life, so I'd rather ask all of you practitioners if thats true or not? I just want to get clarification on whether I am for this religion or not, I don't want to get scammed again.

Rituals/Recette for passing an exam?

This might be an unpopular question but I am taking my LSAT soon for law school entrance. Are there any Vodou rituals I can do to help me with a high score? Besides studying of course! And yes I am full Haitian but I just never come across such rituals.

Do “same-sex” maryaj lwa ever happen? Like for example, could a male sevité marry Ogou Badagri or Met Agwe? Would a “male” lwa ever propose to a male sevité? Just curious about if this has ever been seen?

Sexual practices in Vodou

Hi,

I would like to know what is perceived as acceptable sex in vodou.

Is sex with multiple partners, anal sex, gangbangs and orgies frown upon in the vodou spirituality?

Or are people allowed to just do whatever they want without any spiritual repercussions?

West African Vodou.

I have been called to learn more recently and someone was reading my tarot and said I had a water deity that’s waiting for me to connect with.
I don’t know much about vodou and most information online is relating to Haitian vodou.
Also being half west-African. I feel more called to go that route.
I would love if there’s someone in this group who could give me a little guidance.
Thank you.
