🪦Subtle Akhu Worship⚰️
Greatly inspired by @khaire-traveler's wonderful subtle worship series, which can be found here.
Visit cemeteries; leave flowers at graves (with permission); or help clean up gravesites (if allowed)
Offer food and water to them, especially food that you made yourself
Wear a piece of jewelry or other clothing item that reminds you of them
Carry a picture of them in your wallet, pocket, phone case, etc. or as a phone or computer wallpaper
Hold onto any family heirlooms; keep items from people who have passed in your life
Make a family recipe
Learn a language they spoke
Learn about your family history/genealogy
Allow yourself to mourn over difficult changes or the end of relationships; allow yourself to miss people
Write your own offering formulas for the dead and say them for them
Learn about death; acquaint yourself with the idea of death; figure out what you believe happens after death
Make charms/other items for deceased loved ones and leave them on their gravesites (if possible) or on an ancestor altar
Tell stories about them; make sure they are remembered
Write letters to them (historically these letters would include petitions for help)
Visit a museum or similar institution that has mummies or other Egyptian funerary artifacts and say a quick verbal offering for them/the owners of the objects
Say a quick verbal offering for them whenever you think of them or as part of a preexisting ritual/routine
I may add more to this list in the future. Suggestions are always appreciated.
