I’m alive, hello!
Sorry, this account can go dead if I don’t think I have anything to post. Poster’s block, I suppose.
That’s not the case, though: I have had a pretty eventful last couple weeks. Big part is that I’ve somehow discovered the astral. It came easily to me for some reason and I’m not complaining. I’ll be posting a couple updates about it pretty soon, since there’s been a lot that’s happened up there. Stay tuned!
Is there any way you could write a poem for Nut, please? Sorry if you’ve done one already
O' Nut,
Mother of the Starry Sky,
I raise my arms to you,
in hope I maybe embody Shu,
and come close to your divine touch.
Dua Nut!
Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt was an ancient civilization of Northeastern Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River in what is now the modern country of Egypt. Egyptian civilization coalesced around 3150 BC (according to conventional Egyptian chronology) with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh. The history of ancient Egypt occurred in a series of stable Kingdoms. Egypt reached the pinnacle of its power during the New Kingdom, in the Ramesside period where it rivalled the Hittite Empire, Assyrian Empire and Mitanni Empire, after which it entered a period of slow decline.
Egypt was invaded or conquered by a succession of foreign powers (such as the Canaanites/Hyksos, Libyans, Nubians, Assyria, Babylonia, Persian rule and Macedonian Greece) in the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt and Late Period. In the aftermath of Alexander the Great’s death, one of his generals, Ptolemy Soter, established himself as the new ruler of Egypt. This Greek Ptolemaic Dynasty ruled Egypt until 30 BC, when, under Cleopatra, it fell to the Roman Empire and became a Roman province.
The success of ancient Egyptian civilization came partly from its ability to adapt to the conditions of the Nile River Valley. The predictable flooding and controlled irrigation of the fertile valley produced surplus crops, which fueled social development and culture. The many achievements of the ancient Egyptians include the quarrying, surveying and construction techniques that facilitated the building of monumental pyramids, temples, and obelisks; a system of mathematics, a practical and effective system of medicine, irrigation systems and agricultural production techniques, the first known ships, Egyptian faience and glass technology, new forms of literature, and the earliest known peace treaty with Hittites. Egypt left a lasting legacy. Its art and architecture were widely copied, and its antiquities carried off to far corners of the world. Its monumental ruins have inspired the imaginations of travellers and writers for centuries. A new-found respect for antiquities and excavations in the early modern period led to the scientific investigation of Egyptian civilization and a greater appreciation of its cultural legacy.

First Offering to Nut
First of all: Hi! I’m alive. These past couple weeks have been painful, so I haven’t had much time or energy to post. I plan to try posting more often.
Last night I finally made an offering to Nut. It was standard fare, so basically just bread and water, but it pretty much did the job. I called out to Her, and within minutes I heard Her voice calling out to me.
When I closed my eyes, She was right there in front of me and opened Her arms for a warm embrace. That was the most comforting a deity’s ever been towards me, and for good reason, too: As She was hugging me, I asked Her why She contacted me all those years ago. She looked at me for a second, and said “I’m your spiritual mother.” And that shook me to my core. I was elated, suprised, basically everything that you would feel if you met an estranged parent. It was incredible, and the most loved I’ve ever felt from a God/dess.
So yeah, I guess I have a spiritual mom now. Is there another spiritual parent? Who knows! I’m sure if there is, He/She will come around in time
Dua Nut!
Sometimes when I find myself feeling less than everyone else, I make a list. I ask, “What is it exactly that’s going to make you feel like you’re just as good of a witch/pagan/diviner/writer/person as whoever it is you’re so jealous of? What do they have that you don’t?”
I try to be specific, and not delve too deeply into my own melodrama.
Usually at least half of those things are completely irrelevant to my life and my practice. Like, yes Jasmine, you could have a better working knowledge of woolly mammoth reproductive cycles, but…why do you need that? What good will it do you? And do you even WANT to understand Thelema, Jay? Really?
So then I let those things go.
Other things are sometimes qualities or skills I already have but I’m downplaying them, either out of insecurity or because they don’t fit into my current narrative of how terrible I am at everything.
I cross those off the list too.
So whatever is left, I just keep asking myself…would this actually help me? Would this really make me better? Do I want to do this?
If I decided that, yeah, actually, it makes total sense for me to understand the history of magical and medical herbalism, and that would benefit me and my path…then I can actually go pursue that idea. Instead of crying that everyone else but me has already done it and they’re so great and I’m so awful.
And by that point, what I’m doing, I’m doing for me. Not for anyone else. Which feels so much better.
it’s the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century.
you can only reblog this today.

The Dream
(Note: This one is gonna be a long one. I apologize in advance. I just figured I’d talk about my experience with one of the Gods)
I can only remember a handful of dreams and nightmares from my life. Most of them confuse me, some still scare me, and fewer still astound me. One of the dreams from the last category happened when I was about 9 or 10. Like most dreams (and nightmares), I had fallen asleep expecting nothing. No dreams, no nightmares, just uninterrupted sleep. Instead I got something that still confounds me today, something I haven’t topped in years.
The dream started with me in some kind of crowd, in some shimmering white place in the sky. The crowd and I were waiting for something. I didn’t know what, but there was still some kind of palpable anticipation. Suddenly, I heard a flourish of trumpets and someone announcing “Behold the mother of God.” Then, this woman appeared. She was huge in size and had a robe on covered with shifting watercolors in red, yellow, and blue, almost like a rainbow. The crowd threw cubes in the air, which were cleaned up by someone like a janitor, and that’s essentially where the dream ended.
I know how weird it sounds. I don’t get it now and I don’t think I totally will. Why were there cubes? Why was there a janitor? Once again, I’m not sure, but I felt like it wasn’t my mind that created this. I was still a Christian (specifically Catholic) at the time, so I had chalked it up to a vision from Mary. I told my mom about this the next morning, who encouraged me to talk to my church’s nun. I did, and I forget exactly what the Sister said, but she was very kind. She even gave me a picture book about visions from God, which I don’t think I’ve ever read through.
That was the end of the dream’s story. I moved on, both from the dream and where I lived when I had it. I returned to the dream a couple times between when I had it and now, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt like this wasn’t a dream from Mary. I hadn’t felt connected to her before or since, and even when I told myself the dream was from Mary, I was never satisfied just because it didn’t feel right to say.
Soon I left the church, or at least stopped participating actively. I drifted spiritually for a few months, trying on some new beliefs in the hopes that one would fit. Eventually, I found paganism. Something in me screamed yes to it. It was made for me. One thing led to another, and soon Horus and later Set called me to worship Them. The dream was still there in the background, and eventually it broke through the wall in my mind and vaulted into my consciousness. I became obsessed with it. It was a gnat biting my leg, pushing me to figure it out. I asked around and did a bit of digging on my own, trying to see if any Goddess in ancient Egypt was associated with rainbows. Of course, there were no confirmed answers, and why would there be? Egypt was in the middle of a desert. I realized that the only way to see who it was would be to ask, and that’s what I did. I made a sacrifice, calling out to whoever gave me the dream.
A voice called out to me. It told me to close my eyes, and once I did I got this mental picture of a garden. I followed a path, and at the end of the path there was a woman in a robe colored with red, yellow, and blue. She turned to me, her blue tinted skin shining in the sun, and She smiled. I ran into the open arms of Nut, the egyptian goddess of the sky, who had apparently given me that dream. Here, even though I didn’t understand why the dream was there yet, I had found peace.
——————
If you remember that post about Set epithets (linked below), I talked briefly about wanting to contact Nut.
(Before I get into the meat of this post, I just want to thank you guys for the huge increase in followers. I really appreciate it. (I hope
While I have yet to make a formal sacrifice to Her (this week has been rough), I did briefly mention that I had a dream about Her. I figured it might be nice to describe the dream, just to have something to post and to hopefully get some alternate perspectives.
Dua Nut!
Set Epithets and other stuff
(Before I get into the meat of this post, I just want to thank you guys for the huge increase in followers. I really appreciate it. (I hope it’s okay if I follow y’all’s kemetic blogs too.))
Yesterday, I reached out to Set so I could get some epithets for prayers and just to talk, too. I didn’t come up with too many but I figured it might help to post them here.
Lord of Storms
God of chaos
King of the desert
Contester of Horus
Protector of Ra
He who seethes
Strongest of wills
Most powerful storm
Red with fury
And a couple joke ones:
One ball wonder
Liker of Lettuce
I know these aren’t the most insightful, but I still think posting them here might be helpful.
I also tried to reach out to Nut, who essentially told me to make a sacrifice before I decided to worship her. It wasn’t the first time I had reached out to her, either: I first did last week after I realized a dream I had when I was younger was her. (I might post about the dream later, if you guys are curious). Not entirely sure why she insisted that I make a sacrifice first, but I plan to. Curious about why she would do that.
If you guys have any suggestions or insights, please let me know! This’ll be my first time working with Nut so any perspectives on her would really be appreciated.
Dua Set! Dua Nut!
