Everything is Divine

[cryptotheism]

The more I read Egyptian oracular texts the more I understand why the Golden Dawn was obsessed with this stuff. The structural henotheism means gods can be blended and combined in meaningful ways. This is also represented in the religious art.

so this guy right he makes ancient egyptian themed furry costumes. he makes all kinds but mostly he specializes in Horus heads. it's his passion really. he loves to make the beautiful falcon head of the Sun God. anyway so he's at a con one day and he sees this whole bunch of people in middle kingdom dress with these indistinguishable animal heads. he's like. oh man these folks could really use a new source, i can hardly tell what animal those are! so he goes over and he says "hey guys! i see you are into ancient egyptian mythological themed furry costumes--if any of you are interested in being the radiant Son of Ra, I am the BEST in the business!"

and the group of people look at each other, then at him. awkward. finally one of them says: "uh. no thanks. we're all Set."

Ammit the Devourer. Tattoo flash. My last round of mythology flash went very well so I hope someone has room in their heart (lol) for Ammit as well

Fire Lyte's name is Don Martin, and he wrote the Dabbler's Guide to Witchcraft, for anyone interested!

I have not read it, so no opinion on how good or not it is

[witchynyx]

Ooh! Good connection-making!

I haven't read it either, but I have heard a surprising number of good things about it.

Dirt is sacred.

There is nothing wrong with leaving offerings on the naked earth.

When we die we are returned to the ground be it whole or as ash.

From the ground comes all our food, be it directly grown or eaten from to what else we eat.

There is nothing wrong with leaving offerings on leaves or stone, plates or trays but...

There is nothing wrong with laying them to the soil either.

The compost pile is as hallowed a hill as any shrine or shelf.

statuette of thoth as ibis | c. 6th century BCE | egypt, late period

"The ibis is, along with the baboon, the sacred animal of the god Thoth...[the statuette's] body is made of wood covered with fine white plaster. Its head bearing the atef-crown, long neck, tail feathers and legs were all cast in silver. The ibis’ eyes, inlaid in black glass and stucco, seem to bring the creature to life."

Wadjet and Nekhbet, the snake and vulture goddesses, are the fierce protectors of Lower and Upper Egypt. Despite the ups and downs of their relationship in the beginning, they learned to respect each other and eventually became inseparable, though they'd never admit it! They're always seen together, bickering over the smallest things, yet they never truly lose sight of one another. For this reason, they were granted the honor of forming a unique divine dyad, representing harmony and peace between the two faces of Kemet.

Geb and Nut, the earth and the sky, children of Shu and Tefnut.
