I'm really excited to have been in @lightgreyartgallery's last show, themed around death. I illustrated a Ci annwn: a hound of the wild hunt, specifically here from the Welsh tradition.

You can preorder a compiled book of the show here for a limited time!

An illustration by Marguerite Divin for Le conte de Sinouhé (The Story of Sinuhe) by Manon Lessel, 1993. I love the gods' casual sitting positions.

downside: going to have to include a picture of the Giza pyramids in the slides for the lecture upside: i get to give people a crash course in why perspective matters in two frames, because

is such a funny sequence

i find most people who haven't seen it in person don't know that cairo is RIGHT THERE

[teaboot]

I loved these perspectives so I took some of my own when I was in Cairo and yeah, they're literally just. Right there. Pass em on your way to work, nbd

[ophilosoraptoro]

No, y'all don't even understand.

There is literally a Pizza Hut across the street from the pyramids.

[rudjedet]

That Pizza Hut among other things is why Egyptologists laugh their asses off when we see another piece of media where the protagonists get "lost in the desert near the pyramids", because it's like... just turn around my dudes you're only a seven min walk away from the nearest fastfood shop

Yall don't know how much I adore all of this

[desertrosegoddess]

I wanted to go to that Pizza Hut when we went, but didn't. Kind of sad I didn't, but hopefully next time :'<

The kindest hearts are those filled with love.

Em hotep~!

Long time, no see. Bear with me, it may be a long one.

The past few years have been what the kids call ✨ w i l d✨ for me. I started my Kemetic journey in 2016, and since then I have moved cross country three times. I was active on tumblr when the first one happened. However, tumblr took a huge back seat in my life as I started walking down my polytheistic path soon after.

I eventually moved to TikTok where I finally got the courage to teach about Kemeticism and make videos right before cross country move two. I had moved to Florida to help my parents run a restaurant on Sanibel Island. Those two years allowed me to flourish into my Kemetic path, teaching and making videos. It is a lot of fun for me!

It also gave me space to open an Etsy shop where I made Kemetic devotional bracelets. It was a dream of mine for the longest time, and I was super thrilled to be able to make subtle things like that for fellow Kemetics.

September 28th 2022, Hurricane Ian took the restaurant from us--and my Etsy shop as I don't have the source for a PO Box anymore. Our personal apartment was safe, but the restaurant suffered massive flooding damage and we aren't able to financially build again. So, cross country move number three took place when my husband got a job back where we were before Florida.

It's been a super wild six years.

However, I was able to find my passion teaching Kemeticism and about The Neteru though TikTok. It eventually led me to start a podcast called The Magic of Egypt that I host with my best friend. I am editing Episode Nine as I write this.

That's where this post comes in. I didn't utilize tumblr for a multitude of reasons; one of them being that it was just too much to add to TikTok, twitter, and instagram. I still won't be utilizing tumblr to be frank with y'all. I might doom scroll sometimes and post what I usually post here but that's about it.

I'll be using TikTok, going LIVE there once a month, and now my Patreon. My Patreon has a few tiers that include Neteru of the Month posts, Deity Tips, a discord server, and more exclusive content. If you're looking for a safe space for Kemetics, I'd love to see you.

I still do offer readings, too! Patreon has access to exclusive monthly Pick a Card readings and LIVES where I'll offer free Oracle card draws there. My path has definitely evolved from where it was and now I'm walking the Priestess Path with Set.

... just yanno, it came with a ton of ✨c h a o s✨, no biggie...

Anyway, thank you so much for reading this far. I wish you the best on your paths. Much love.

ATC I made for Set. While working on it I felt his presence.

"I'm sitting with him now, and he's like the low rumble of distant thunderstorm, the air right before the rain."

Clout chasing keeps ruining communities. The witchcraft community is no different. 

You shouldn’t feel like you have to post readings every single day, pump out “content” to be posted every hour on the hour, craft sigils until your hands are cramped, and record vlogs about your deity experience in order to have a place in the community and be “relevant.”

Your altars and candles don’t have to be “insta-worthy” in order to be potent tools of magic.

You don’t need to spent thousands of dollars on the most trendy crystals to cast spells.

This is a spirituality, not a runway.

Just do you.
