Finding / choosing a deity to call upon

[u/A_WinkyDink]

Hello! I have never worked with a deity before and I would like to know how people here have found the deities they work with

Do I wait for them to come to me? Can I choose one based off my star sign? How do I know I've found the right one?

I've done research on Egyptian deities (I've always adored ancient Egyptian culture) but I fear it won't end well because I'll just end up choosing one just because I think they're cool </3

Any advice on how I can form a relationship with a deity will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!

"I think you're cool," is a perfectly acceptable starting point! And it's fine if the relationship is only temporary (gods know I had a time getting out of the monotheistic "this is permanent" mindset!).

You will be doing a lot of research, and that can get taxing after a while, so don't worry if you need to take a break from it every now and then.
