Khenty-Irty. Illustration is mine. Last night was the super blood lunar eclipse. This sort of event does not come often. It caught me by surprise since I was only planning a small full moon candle prayer. For those that caught me last new moon, I found that Khenty-en-irty appreciated the recognition on the moons. I … More Super, Blood, Lunar eclipse : Celebrating Khenty-irty
Sharing an image that was more or less a meditation on the huge aspect of Sekhmet. This is the cosmic, starry Sekhmet. Not sure there is any historical basis for this type of imagery. It is a reflection of the starry cow. Colors were pulled from photos of galaxies.
Recently I have been turning back time on Egyptian religion. Trying to understand its origins and track where the oldest gods sit on the evolution. What most scholars seem to think is that all religion began as animism or some form of shamanism. This meant that all the things in that ancient world had a … More Full Circle : The Great Cow Spirit
While there is not a lot of information out there on Meret, or the twin Merti, I gathered what I could and gave a little tribute. Today was the Procession of Meret. Meret is goddess of praise and singing, and all around a pretty happy goddess (or pair of goddesses.). However they are also companions of … More Procession of Meret
Today was a Feast of Khnum. This same day I volunteered to lead the local CUUPS Mabon sabbat ritual. In the spirit of sharing I decided that this year our thanksgiving sabbat would be merged with a Khnum celebration! The weather was so beautiful that we even had it outside. With table set with food, … More Feast of Khnum
Last night a student texted and said she thought she was having ghost problems. Not unusual for this person, but no less scary. They asked for my help and I arranged to meet them at their place that evening. While I waited to go over I looked up prayers and trying to find appropriate heka. … More Anointing with the Living Uraeus
It is strange to have a reprieve from the intense ‘must find’ hunt that the gods send you on. Not that I am complaining. This is a time I need to take advantage of. There are projects to do, work to be done, and personal connections and relationships to maintain. Makes me feel validated that … More Netjeri: wandering thoughts and events
Monday evening was a moonless night. Only the stars were out and I had the evening to myself. I sat out on the porch, lit incense, and lit the glass encased pillar candle I had bought at the grocery. There was nothing fancy or special I pulled together. I used a permanent marker to draw … More Khenty-en-irty: Candle light
I am sitting alone in my home thinking about the afternoon ahead. So far I have had a frustrating morning that has forced me to slow down and cool my jets. Now I am sitting at home with a few hours to spare before I go to a job interview. This year will hold a … More Khenty-en-Irty : New Moon
Tonight was a New Moon. The time when Khenty-en-irty is active. The blind hawk. This moon is the first in which I have begun to apply my personal research to my practice. In a last minute move I volunteered to head the New Moon ritual tonight for my local CUUPS gathering. I was not sure … More When Minds Wander
