This post is one I decided to write to answer a lot of questions that I get asked about how to find your Goddess and your God to align with.
The big thing to understand is that you don't have to have one, but from my experience I felt the need to align with a God and a Goddess to enhance my magick and to strengthen my practice.
One way that I would recommend you do this is just a simple meditation. Very simple, you can use a candle, you can use a stone/crystal...If you have a special stone that you like to hold or whatever you prefer in your meditation. You can sit outside in the daytime, you can sit in the moon light, in your lounge or bedroom, wherever you feel most comfortable. Close your eyes, meditate, and just ask the universe to tell you the name of your God, and the name of your Goddess that is meant for you to align with......and a name will pop in your head...If it doesn't that is ok. Then after you do the meditation and it doesn't happen..which is fine... Google a particular aspect about a God and a Goddess. Lets say you are an artist and you want to find a Goddess and a God that have to deal with art.. type in Goddess of art or God of art and I guarantee you will get a list of Goddess's and Gods to have to do with art, or say you are a police officer and you want a God or Goddess in regards to police...do the same thing.
You will know when you find a God name or a Goddess name that rings true for you, you will know, you will get a sense of peace about it and it's that simple. If you don't get one it's ok it will come to you in time....You don't have to align with a particular God or Goddess...You don't have to. Everyones practice is different and everyones purpose in this life time is different. I personally don't just use Egyptian Gods and Goddess's I tend to pick from all different ones..I just like that and it's my way of doing it.
My Gods are:
Anubis: God of the dead
Mercury: God Of Knowledge
My Goddess's are:
Isis: Goddess of healing, mothering and of all magick
Hera: The Supreme goddess of protection, childbirth and marriage.
In a lot of my posts I often say and talk about having things 'ring true' to you. What I am talking about there is trusting your 'inner bell'...trusting your intuition...trusting your Gut. That's what you already know, your collective universal soul knows from all your previous life times, from all the universal knowledge that you have built up...you know...your intuition, your gut and your inner bell know. If you listen to it you will know if something rings true. What I mean is if you ring a bell and it is in tune and is a very well kept bell it will have the most beautiful ring to it...But if a bell has been damaged and not treated very well, it will have a pretty harsh ring and a very harsh tone to it...and that's the same thing with your gut, it's like if you are in a situation and you just don't feel that it's right or something just doesn't seem right...Listen to your bell, listen to your inner bell and say ' that doesn't seem right and I am not going to let that happen'.
When something is true and right for you, and your path, you will know it and it will ring true to you...and whatever it is will ping your bell and it's the most beautiful sound and the most peaceful feeling when you get that sense of ' ok ' I got it and this is good...That's it and so when anything in your spiritual path seems wrong and it doesn't ring true, don't do it because you are giving your power away....and you know you have so much power, everybody out there has so much power that the universal life force has out there for people to tap into..you just have to be willing to say ' ok ' I'm going to trust my inner bell, I am going to trust my gut feeling and I am going to do what is right for me in my path...whatever that is...If it rings true for you , that's what you need to do.
