Finding personal deities

So may tell you there needs to be a complex process to find your personal deities. This is not true. There are many ways to find deities. There is also no real time frame for this process. Here is some ways to help you get close to your gods.

1. Meditate: Even if you just do deep breathing, relax and focus you can get a connection to the gods. You may hear their voice or dream of them.
2. Walk in nature: Just going for a walk and exploring the world will help you discover the gods. Many times I have conversations with the gods going for a walk.
3. Research: Do research on particular deities. It will help you understand who they are. You will find your self drawn to a deity or two. Also you will typically feel their presence calling you. If you need some help check out my Web resources .
4. Ritual: Use some of the already written rituals out there. Use the gods they recommend and you will find those that come to you.

If there are any other ideas that work for you, use them!

Timing of rituals

I decided to take a break from "work" during Christmas holidays so I can focus on my family. I also needed to recharge my writing batteries. While on vacation I had the opportunity to do my personal Yule ritual. I like being part of a community but every Yule I do my own ritual. Primarily as Yule is also my son's birthday and I usually spend the day of Yule with him. I typically don't get to do ritual to the 22nd. I find in my own practices because my life is very busy I may not get the opportunity to do ritual of the Sabbaths on their "usual" day. Most times it is the following day. Though I do regret many times not being able to take part in some group rituals. As I do enjoy the community atmosphere and ability to be part of a group. However life does not always give me the chance.
When do you do ritual? Do you always try for the day of the Sabbath or does it vary?
