Finding your deities

One of the parts in my studies is finding my deities. I have always been interested in the Egyptian and Japanese Pantheons but I have read that some deities choose you. How does it work?

Well, about the deity choose you it comes with a sign around you, like for example you are chosen by Athena, maybe she comes with a shape of owl, or she always put her information in front of you, or you dream about certain deity. Other ways is research, you maybe feel connected to some deity, then contact her through meditation the answer will come through dream
I found my goddess and god through cloud sign and my new pet.
This is only my experience and from many other resources.

You can choose to work with whoever you want. You can make any connection work, but meditating to receive a sign or asking a god/dess to come forward may help present you with a more naturally compatible deity. Egyptian mythology and Shinto are both heavily polytheistic, so are you looking for a patron god and goddess, or looking for a set of deities to work with?

You may find you do not need to have a god or a goddess you just should respect them. But it is all on you what you believe is right.
