I’m going to be moving apartments this week!! *screams of equal excitement and terror*

Does anyone have any good spells/charms/ Heka to protect delicate statues and not so delicate assorted witchy junk from getting damaged, smashed or being seen by the wrong eyes?

I plan to wrap all my statues up in fabric, but might not have enough for all of them.

Question Kemetics; what do you imagine the body types for your Netjeru to look like? Please share in as much detail as you’d like, I’m drawing right now.

Speaking of Serapis, does anyone know if how to describe his crown in English?

I’ve got both a description as a modius meaning a measurement of grain or a kalathos meaning a lily shaped bowl. But I can’t seem to find a consensus!

Could you descibe it as a modius-kalathos or kalathos-modius? Or it is one or the other? Is one the Greek and the other the Latin description?

I’m getting myself very confused!

Kemetic question; would it be accurate to describe Set as embodying the necessary evils that exist in the world?

I’ve been working with Him lately per my gods’ requests (it’s a very, very long and messy story and basically I’m under extreme supervision by Them) and would just like to know what everyone else thinks. I see posts from His followers on my dash sometimes.

I’m genuinely curious because that’s the vibe I’ve gotten in all my work and conversations with Him.

Putting away statues?

I want to lay out my shrine for the Festival of the Return of the Distant goddess. But I now have a lot more statues that I used to, when I wanted to take statues down before I had a second smaller cubby in my wardrobe for statues. But now there are far too many to fit, and I’m not sure what to do?

How does everyone take statues down?

Are there any rituals for removing statues from a shrine temporarily?

Is there any alternatives to taking the statues down?

Hello! I am a worshipper of Hathor and Re and recently I’ve felt disconnected from them. I sense they want more prayer and devotions and offerings from me. Do you know any good offerings for Re and Hathor? Food, crystals, incense, etc?

Hello!

First off I will say that feeling disconnected isn’t unusual and happens to all of us! But it’s great that you’re looking to work harder, be careful not to get burnt out and if the communication and connection just aren’t coming, you can always take a break.

When it comes to offerings, my best advice to be consistent. For example offering the same thing or similar things once per day/week/month.

Food☀️ Cool water☀️ Beer☀️ Bread ☀️ Meals☀️ Sweet things - Hathor☀️ Orange/red things - Ra☀️ Gum Arabic (sodas have this as an ingredient)

Crystals☀️ Carnelian☀️ Turquoise (or dyed blue howlite if you don’t mind a cheap substitution) ☀️ Lapis Lazuli ☀️ Red jasper☀️ Pyramid shaped crystals

Incense☀️ Frankincense ☀️ Myrrh☀️ Dragons blood☀️ [Rose - Hathor (?) varying results]☀️ Cinnamon☀️ Mint☀️ Kyphi/Kapet and any of the ingredients of it

☀️☀️☀️

These are all I can think of at the moment, I hope it was helpful to get you started. Please feel free to drop me a message if you have any questions. If anyone else has any good ideas for offerings, please feel free to add them :D

HEY KEMETICS HERE’S A QUESTION

So August 1st is the Festival of Isis/Aset. It’s also my 22nd birthday.

Anyone have any ideas on how to celebrate? :D

Celebrating under the moon isn’t an option because I work, and I’m not in the closet about my devotion or craft. I’m also broke, but I have a lot of stuff I can use, so I’m open to any and all suggestions!
