Dua Imhotep, the physician and head of sculptors 🩺

[soft-sunbird]

Oh Bast, wise woman wombed

Whose whelps wend quick about thy feet

Walk with me; I weary of waxing moons

My garden overflows with weeds

Your child'll never know her own

A gift of mercy, duty, care

Even as it pains me so

To know that she will have no heir

I cannot be responsible

Facilitate the cycle

I made that choice fair years ago

I knew it was the right one

So be with me, and walk with me

Come with to my appointments

O, Bastet, grant me peace of mind

And freedom from disjointments

Statuette of a Lion-headed God, probably Horus of Buto

Egyptian, Late Period (664–332 BCE)

Egyptian gods were commonly depicted with human bodies and animal heads. The animal referred to the god’s personality or characteristics, not his or her appearance. For example, this version of Horus, in the guise of the son of the goddess Wedjat, is shown with a lion head, expressive of power. The Greeks and Romans took these mixed forms literally rather than symbolically, and some Classical authors, accustomed to gods in human form, derided the Egyptians for their “ridiculous” gods, dismissing them as “dog-faced Egyptians, dressed up in linen.” Statuettes like these were offered to the gods to ask for their help or in thanks for their assistance.

Epagomenal days: day 4- Nephthys

Today is the fourth epagomenal day for me and I heard an owl the night before, a bird heavily associated with Nephthys and today is Her day!

I've done a bit of digging into this Goddess and I must say I am in love with Her funerary and magical aspects. Therefore, here is a devotional poem for lady Nephthys!

Hail to you Nephthys, holy mother of jackals.

You reside over twilight with your majestic, life-giving wings.

Oh voice of hidden things, you see all through owls, cobras, and kites.

Those who grieve and mourn look upon you with relief, closure, and even peace.

The living and the dead are eternally blessed by you, mistress of the Gods.

You are the lady of households both divine and earthly, ever jubilant and motherly.

Dua Nephthys, She who breathes fire!

Dua Nephthys, She who reveals truth!

“She was the goddess of childbirth, and the creator of each child's Ka, a part of their soul, which she breathed into them at the moment of birth. She was worshipped from the earliest of times by Egyptians.”

"The god Montu, whose worship was essentially restricted to the region of Thebes, enjoyed a spate of munificence under Antoninus Pius, with a series of small temples continuing at least through the third century. The Bucheum at Armant, necropolis of the sacred bulls of Montu, continued to receive ritual burials as late as 340 C.E. The Bucheum's priesthood, still capable in hieroglyphs in the fourth century, had the rare perspicacity about an increasingly oppressive Christendom to revolt in the very wording of the last bull's funerary stela. By dating the bull by the "era" of Diocletian rather than the reigning emperor Constantius II, so the stela's most recent interpreter has suggested, the Buchis priests could deny (in the ritually powerful medium of the hieroglyphic stele) the advent and authority of the Christian emperors. But the cult attracted more than local Egyptians: promoted as Apollo during the Ptolemaic period, Montu became the local object of dedication to "(our) native god Didymus Helios Apollo" from a compay of Miletians living in the area around the end of the second century."

| Just a reminder to people : You do not need an altar for deity work. You do not need to spend a lot of money on offerings or rituals. You do not need to hold yourself to the standard of other people's practice. This is your journey and your relationship with the gods. They understand what you have and they understand whats available or any circumstance you are in. I am a strong believer that, if an offering or devotional work is with good intentions and done so from the heart, it's more than good enough and your deities will be more than happy and accepting. Even if it's not a historical offering or even if it's something simple like saying good morning in your mind, they take notice and they love you for you. Having an altar or performing rituals is great, I have an altar myself! However, it's not a necessity, especially if you cannot make one/have one.

Morning prayer to Re

Re who endured in maat, who allows his course to be written by the wise one, who overcomes all evil with triumph. Come forth from your mothers womb, bring forth the horizon and let the skies blaze with your glory.

Let your light shine on the darkness, evacuating everything evil that dwells within, and bring forth a glorious day!

Let your fires blaze, extinguishing all evil that dares to dwell in your glory, and bring forth a glorious day!

Let your kingship reign, vanquishing all evil that dares to dwell in your glory, and bring forth a glorious day! Re, the brilliant, beautiful, powerful, vibrant one, who softens his heart for all that lives within maat, come forth from your mothers womb and let the skies blaze with your glory.
