For example, a deeply Christian person might be attracted to terms and titles regarding angels rather than Spirit guides and that sort of thing. A woman embarking on something more feminine than traditional patriarchal thinking might find the use of the term goddess more comforting and appealing. And likewise there would be people like wiccans totally comfortable with pentacles, spirits, witches, etc. There are a great deal of similarities amongst all this but many modes of terminology and practise. I started to read cards using a standard 52 card playing deck. I find a softer labeling approach more comfortable for myself. I tend to be drawn to the more simple earth friendly approach to spirituality - including both Shamanism and the occasional women's spirituality book or item.
After discovering what you are comfortable with, what is palatable and in line with the spiritual and religious practices you already have then immerse yourself and learn. Eventually you will come around to the gifts of Creativity, Teaching, and/or the psychic you have to share. You might want to explore just how you wish to share these things. Cards? Palms? Tea leaves? Intuition, etc. There are so many ways you can have to explore and use your psychic nature.
Again, I think you are fortunate. Used wisely this can be an incredibly enriching gift to have. Enjoy your adventure of discovery.
By the way, I am guessing you are an incredibly empathetic person. The two 'gifts' often occur hand in hand.

Thanks so much for all your suggestions!
I have done that kind of exploration.. I definitely know what appeals and what I am most attracted to, which is in fact, a variety!
I am attracted to energy healing crystals and respond physically to them. I am attracted to Angelic type of emblems or symbols and objects as well as Christian and Shaman (I am of a mixed philosophy of my own making). And I am attracted to very earthy types of things too as well as Goddess objects and symbols.... so all of the above! HA. That makes me very eclectic!
And yes, I am an empath as well.
Yes, it is very enriching and quite mysterious as well. I cannot see symbols or pictures like some with clairvoyant ability. I guess I am clairsentient. I can hear the metaphysical and also feel them physically.
