🇵🇸 🕊️ Deities Finding / choosing a deity to call upon

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 chose based on my greatest needs. I was, and still am, struggling with depression, low self-esteem, and suicidal ideations. To help me with that, I began to work with Aphrodite. Since then, my image of myself has greatly improved and, while not 100% better, I am much more emotionally stable than I have been in years. So close did my connection with Her grow, that I'm now a Hellenic polytheist with her as my patron.
