@typhlosion and don't worry if you have some false starts. when I was "shopping for a personal pantheon" I got a lot of unreturned calls and a couple of "you're cool, but this isn't quite the right fit." come to think, it actually was quite a bit like looking for a job...
@typhlosion alternately, do a bit of research, based on things you like--do you like the ocean? look up water gods. like fire? look up fire gods. are you from a country/lineage that has a rich mythology? check into that. you'll know you've found something important when you *keep researching* because "hey, this god sounds *really cool*..."
