How to Write Hymns for Deities
Hymns are usually written to include:
A history of the deity’s divine origins.
Several powerful statements about that being’s divine powers.
The ways in which the deity is symbolically manifested on Earth and in our lives.
A conclusion with a statement that solidifies the deity’s power.
You can write the hymn in first person, which would allow the deity to speak directly through you - if you so wish to channel the deity directly through yourself in the ritual work. However, there are no set forms of which hymns should be written in. The important aspects of constructing a hymn is ensuring that it comes from a place of respect, your knowledge of the deity’s attributes, your adoration, glorification, and gratitude. Each hymn you write should be unique in its expression, and as long as it comes from your heart, it will achieve the desired effect.
When writing the hymn, use all of your senses - sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch - to create a sensory exploration that will connect you with the deity.
A more extensive hymn may include a list of the qualities the divine being possesses. These qualities, sometimes expressed as epithets, call attention to a particular attribute or characteristic of the god or goddess, which may be important if you are writing the hymn for a specific spell or ritual.
Sobek-Ra Epithets
Thanks to Reverend A’Aqytsekhmet translating, I have access to Father’s epithets! Here is a list of my favorites:
Sobek-Ra:
Who flooded the sky and the earth with its perfection
He speaks in the horizon
The king in the sky
Who enlightened for himself the sky and the earth with his two gleaming eyes
Who creates the light in the dark primal waters
From whose luminosity live the living
He rises in the dark
The Enlightener
He makes the field glitter with plants
That makes the plants sparkle
By which everyone sees
Who creates the stars
Who creates the air
Who gives rise to the storm
The body in the flood protects
Who sits in the midst of the flood
The grim eye in the tide
The ruler of the flood
Who puts his body together in the flood
The silent in the primeval waters
Who creates the earth
Whose Ka is the earth that produces everything
Who leads the underworld
The Lord of the delta
It is in the middle of the house of life
The one with great terror in the sea
Who eats the enemies in his lake
The master of the river
The ruler of the sea
Who lets the tide of the sea swell with his dorsal fin
The head of the lake of eternity
The master of the wetland
The Lord of the sacrifice
The ruler of the shore
At whose hands and feet the desert is
The crocodile, who is stalking to attack
The ruler of the fish
The lotus
Who creates the farmland
Who creates the trees
The Lord of Flowers
He fertilizes the field with his phallus
Who creates the harvest
The father of every god
The oldest god of the gods
Who creates the malachite
There is no limit to what he created
Who gives life to the one who comes out of him
Who creates wealth
That creates the sound
Who creates the flame
The Prince of Ma’at
Who hates the wrong
Who loves Ma’at
The one with great martial art
The one with great power
The one with strong arms
The one with a powerful heart
Who pervades the ocean at his convenience
He boasts with his perfection
The one with numerous pairs of ears
The one with many colors
The one with a tense face
The one with a rough pupil
The one with pleasant smell
The one of good shape
He rests on his four feet
Its dorsal fin is spread out as a knife
Who lifts his head above the tide for himself
The most masculine of the gods
The brave archer
The master of the knife
The master of jewelry
He multiplies the offerings
He wages a slaughter among his enemies
Who burns his enemies with his breath of embers
The blood of the one who crosses his path
He truly comes to the one who calls him
Of whose color you live
Who listens to the requests
The one with a quick ear
Who keeps the beings alive
That makes every mouth eat
Through which every throat breathes
The true listener
He hears the pleas of him who calls him
Who hears the pleas of the gods and men
The protector of his heir
The ruler of the joy of hearts
The ruler in the morning bark
The ruler in the evening bark
The Perfect King
The Lord of the Cobra
He who is on his great throne
The living image of Ra on earth
Who lights up from the lotus blossom
Who is born in the sand
Whose popularity the goddesses cheer
The one with a tall figure
The great manifestation of every god
There is no god whose form he does not complete
The one with secret glare
The one with a big bloodbath
The Lord of Dread/Fear
The one with sharp slaughter
The one with a violent roar
All his limbs beat to win
That does not go wrong
For which there is no shipwreck
The guardian who does not sleep
The master of cleaning
The master of drunkenness
The divine/magnificent/brave crocodile
The Lord of the foods
Who comes in his time
Its offense does not exist for eternity
The Lord of time
The ruler of eternity
The daily lights
Who pervades eternity and infinity
The most merciful
Who settles forever on his throne
The master of desire
The master of silence
The Lord of destiny
Dua Sobek-Ra
Did I ever mention my khonsu statue came in??? I'm super excited to finally have it on his shrine!!
Also, I separated my shrine and altar because I saw a lot of people say that if you have the space you should do so.
Here is his new shrine, complete with custom painted box by yours truly
