The story of the Distant Goddess is absolute proof that it’s a crime that Ancient Egyptian mythology hasn’t entered the popular conciousness in the same way as Greek stuff.

[severalowls]

Short, super paraphrased version: Ra is sick of humanity being rebellious wee bastards, so he sends a goddess as an embodiment of his vengeance, usually Sekhmet in the form of a great fuckoff lion - first to the southern deserts to wipe out the followers of Set. She does so, and then for unspecified reasons, Ra decides maybe humanity is redeemable hey call off the murderlion. But being an embodiment of pure divine retribution, she isn’t really having it.

So Ra sends Thoth out in an effort to soothe the goddess before she arrives in the north and wipes out everything including the gods (she’s just that strong). He’s terrified, but he tries all sorts of cunning and wisdom and trickery and tells her moral tales and all that, but all he can do is delay her.

In the meantime, Ra’s priests of the north are hard at work. They brew thousands of barrels of beer, and mix pots and pots red dye. And when the goddess inevitably arrives, they mix it up and pour it into the reeds of the nile. Believing it to be the spilled blood of her enemies, she drinks it up proudly… And gets EXTREMELY drunk, calming down and transforming into Hathor, goddess of joy and love.

And once a year to celebrate this momentous occasion, Egyptians would get Absolutely Plastered.

I didn’t find details on the exact date, but some cross-googling suggests the festival occured around the start of the Nile flood season, which is in mid-July.

Anyone got a more precise date?

[severalowls]

Well, the traditional beginning of the flood season varies from year to year based on the first rise of the star Sirius before sunrise, and also marks the beginning of the ancient Egyptian new year. The Festival of Drunkenness would be held about 20 days after that.

Sirius’ rise - which varies around the world based on longitude, but basing it on Egypt for consistency’s sake - happens on the 24th of July in 2018.

So if you want to get smashed on behalf of an angry cat, the 13th of August is the day to mark down.

Today’s the day fuckers, get smashed on behalf of a cat.

Unpacking Witchcraft - Spell Types

A spell is a manifestation of intents, ingredients, and influences combined to bring about an intangible effect. However, there are a number of different of types of spells, intents, and methods. 

CURSE— A spell designed to cause a person or place harm or misfortune of a grand scale. Occasionally used to protect when it used against a concept, “cursing out” infections and medical problems.

HEX— Commonly thought as similar to a curse, though it comes from a German word for witch. Commonly interpreted as a weaker curse, or a midpoint between a jinx and a curse on a scale of annoying to devastating.

JINX— A spell to cause momentary bad luck or annoyance, but can occasionally come back to bite someone later. Usually paired with irony, or used to bring about the opposite effect of what someone says out loud or hopes for.

BANISHING— A type of spell, designed to get rid of something specific, whether it be a concept, a person, spirit, or otherwise, and to keep it away.

WARDING— A type of protective spell in which you create and put up magical walls, usually against a specific thing, such as spirits or negative people, but could be used for evangelicals and teenagers that theoretically loiter on your lawn.

BINDING— Similar to banishing. Instead of removing a person, object, or situation from your vicinity, you prevent a person or creature from performing a particular action.

GLAMOUR— Often used for beauty spells, are a type of spell used for creating an illusion over a person or object. They can be used for a number of purposes, to make someone more attract, or to make an object harder to find, or a person be more or less likely to be noticed.

CONSECRATION— The ritual blessing of an object or place by cleansing it and instilling with a specific energy. Cannot be done to living creatures.

POTION— Any drink made to have a magical effect.

JAR SPELL— A spell made and contained within a jar, often herb sealed with wax.

these are just a few types, feel free to add your own!

-Yinepu / Anubis Pocket God-

An offering which the king gives to Wepwawet, lord of Abydos,

Anubis, who is in the embalming place,

and the gods, the lords of Poqer,

that they may cause you to be radiant in the sky,

mighty in the earth,

and justified in the necropolis,

that you may receive the offerings which come forth from their presence.

-Writings from the Ancient World - Elizabeth Frood

Yinepu comes to you when he is needed. When there is work to be done, and a path to walk. Calling him a God of the Dead seems too simple a thing for all that he encompasses, for there is a great comfort that comes from the touch of his hands. He is protection and renewal. He is both caretaker of the dead and a healer of the living. He is there at the weighing of your heart, and upholds Ma'at eternally. To say he’s complex is an understatement. But he is certainly a Name everyone I think should come to know.

Etsy

And please, if there’s a name you want to see me sculpt. A piece from antiquity? I always take suggestions, and will try to fit them all in one by one into my schedule. I love hearing from you all and hope you continue to send messages.

Always,

Iseqi

Daughter of Amun-ra and Set

Beloved of Hethert-Sekhmet and Heru-Wer

Male witch aesthetic~ With all the hate going around I decided to start a witch aesthetic series. The first being Male Witches.

Witch is a gender neutral term. Anyone regardless of gender -or lack there of- can be a witch💕

You Only Have To Look

The Gods never left us.

Ra is the prickle in the skin of the reveller on a sun-kissed day, warming them inside and out.

Set is the roaring in the heart of every rioter, whose eyes are opened by the unrelenting fire He burns in their belly.

Thoth is the yearning for knowledge that drives the academic to follow their dreams, pushing them to greater heights.

Sobek is the promise of self-confidence, beckoning the shy ones from their shells, His hand guiding them to being their best selves.

Nut is the unspoken connection between lovers as they sit beneath star-spangled sky, Her embrace lulling them closer.

Sekhmet is the guttural roar in the throat of the blood-soaked warrior who defends what is rightfully theirs, fearsome and strong.

Geb is the whistle in the wind that rustles the hair of the gardener who plows His land and enjoys the spoils of His soil.

Hathor is the maternal love between newborn and parent, Her lips the gentle kisses full of tearful joy that make life so precious.

Ma'at is the courage that spurs the journalist to give justice to those who are otherwise denied, and to expose isfet without fear when they see it.

Anubis is the urge to protect those who are dearest, and to guide them to a life of grace and blessings.

They say the Gods are gone, forgotten, and a world away.

But they are here; you only have to look for them.

It’s Important to Remember:

Not everyone views the Gods the same way.

Not everyone worships their Gods.

Many Pagans do not view all Gods as perfect or infallible.  This is actually normal.

Not everyone has the same opinion or relationship with a God.

Not everyone views the Gods as their parent.

Some people have enough parents and are not interested in more.

Some people may have negative experiences with certain Gods and that’s okay, it shouldn’t affect *your* relationship with your God, and you shouldn’t try to force/fix someone else’s relationship with that deity.

Some see Gods like family, but with their own agenda. This is also valid.

Some people are married to their God. This is valid. Even Christianity has Godspousing. It is a thing. Don’t disrespect it because you don’t understand it. 

Not everyone believes that all Gods are 100% tuned into what is your highest good. They are not equatable to the Christian Omniscient/Omnipotent God that knows what is best for all people. 

Some people avoid certain Gods because they feel that God has their own agenda, which may be true.

Not all Gods may have your comfort and happiness as their priority. Some may act against this.

Not all Gods *like* humanity.

DO NOT PROJECT YOUR VIEW OF YOUR GOD ONTO OTHER PEOPLE.

DO NOT CONDEMN OTHERS THAT DO NOT SHARE THE SAME VIEW.

[by-ravens-eye]

May Thor and Odin unleash their wrath on every Neo-Nazi fuckwit who misuses their names and their symbols. Such individuals are cowardly, dishonourable, and no ‘brothers’ of mine. They seek Valhalla but will awaken in the jaws of Níðhöggr after death. May they know fear for the rest of their lives and for eternity thereafter.

Happy Pride Month, ya’ll!

My little contribution is the new, POC friendly pride flag superimposed over our most sacred symbols, as a reminder that heathenry has no requirements for race, sexual orientation, gender or personal identity.

Now more than ever is the time to stand united.

‘Where you know of misfortune/evil declare it to be directed against you and don’t give your enemies peace.’
