Nephthys

They said I was barren,

could not birth the sun.

A vulture, an enemy,

from the sky on earth.

People come and mourn,

their fate, their children.

I offer a hand to learn,

of death and a life beyond.

Happy Samhain everybody 🎃

I spent my day working on myself, relaxing, resting, spending time with Ra, spending time with my brother and finished it off eating a lovely meal of Cantonese rice and garlic break with a “sex on the beach”cocktail.

What about you? :)

“And like the dawn

You broke the dark and my whole earth shook

I was sleeping in the garden

When I saw you

At last, at last

Bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh, at last

You were the brightest shade

Of sun I had ever seen

Your skin was gilded with

The gold of the richest kings

And like the dawn

You woke the world inside of me

You were the brightest shade

Of sun when I saw you”

- Like the dawn, Oh hellos

Temple of Horus, Egypt

[boopsandswoops]

its horus he’s here

[valarhalla]

Guys no, it gets so much better. 

A small fat bird, like the above, is the hieroglyph used in Ancient Egyptian to mean “wicked” or evil”.

The phrase above him (the inscription should be read from the top down) is “Nb s3″ or “Lord of the son of”. Genitive is usually implied in this sort of phrase without a connecting word, meaning:

This birb has literally created the sentence and declared himself “ Lord of the Son of Evil”

[valarhalla]

God dammit, I realised I made a mistake doing this from memory- the first sign is “k” for “your”, not “nb” for “lord”. So this birb has declared himself “your evil son”, not “the lord of the son of evil”. Which is not quite as dramatic, but still very menacing. You go bird.

[ainawgsd]

Behold, my evil son. I am so very proud of him.
