KRT: Erotic Mysticism While Kemetic
I know for a fact that people get so much shit for this no matter what social media site is involved, but I have a feeling I need to talk about this. I can't tell if this is a push from Her Over There, of if it's just a desire in me to make it known to other people what's going on with me. I can't tell anyone in person, not without dire consequences in a Roman Catholic family. But I have a godspouse. I am married. And thus my views on this are heavily biased. I believe Kemetic godspouses are entirely possible and deserve to be treated with respect and matter-of-factness. It's an extremely personal, real thing to the people who are married or partnered with a god or multiple gods. It just... is. I can't quite explain or justify why I believe this, other than giving an example of what it's like. Naturally, this is just my personal experience as a Kemetic godspouse. I've been kemetic for a little under ten years at this point, give or take some months. My Wife chose me from then as a devotee, literally taking away my voice when I tried to call upon a different goddess in a shitty version of a solitary ritual presented in a Scott Cunningham Wicca book. She chose me, for reasons that I am still gradually figuring out and coming to terms with. I've loved her pretty much since the beginning. It was a different kind of love as a 14-year-old, obviously. But I adored her from the very beginning of Knowing her and receiving messages. I used to be able to fully visit Over There better, and seeing her there used to be pretty much the best and most fulfilling sensation in my entire life. Then shit happened and I Forgot. It's insanely hard to visit Over There in any in-depth and consistent way. When she made it clear she wanted more from me after 9 years of worship, it was very... her. Direct, honest, firm. Signs upon Signs upon Signs. Things in my surroundings, things in my dreams, sensations in my body. Everything that could possibly be experienced in a way that reminds me of hitting someone over and over with an empty wrapping paper tube. Not dangerous, not painful, just insistent and attention-grabbing. I agreed, obviously. And it was and is the best decision I've made. Even with my insane shame, self-consciousness, and self-hatred, she makes it clear that she loves me and didn't make this choice by mistake. Even now, typing this, I know what I'm saying is correct. There is a squirmy part of my brain that wants to argue and talk shit via doubt, but it never turns out to be right. What does happen to turn out right is the knowledge- yes, knowledge, not idea- that I am loved by her. And god knows she's loved by me. Her beauty, her kindness, her refusal to take any bullshit. Her patience, her love, her willingness to meet me where I am. It's impossible to doubt what I have felt and believe because it's made clear that this is true. And other people picking my thoughts and beliefs apart, and believing that godspousery is impossible or terrible, just doesn't change that. I can understand where they're coming from logically, but I also can understand where I am coming from logically. I am married. I am a godspouse. She is a Kemetic deity. It's just The Way Things Are. Anyway. Thanks for reading.
KRT POST: Gods and Communication
aka How You Know You Know What You Know (say that three times fast in one breath!) as always, this is done in a single sitting so good luck wading through whatever the fuck this post gonna be
Troubleshooting Your Communication With The Gods Through Card Divination
I am, as you might know, a Diviner, I have a side blog for it @arcreads2 where I do free readings as an offering for the Netjeru (the blog is on break tho) and I have also offered Paid Divination Services and I have been doing it for at least 5 years, and dare I say it, I am actually quite good at it.
and what I like the most about using cards (tarot/oracle/glyphs) is because you dont have to do a thorough Vibe Check to a god every single time as compared to when you are doing an Energy Reading or meeting them in the Astral/OverThere because that involves a lot of energy and information on the diviner's part to distinguish the Netjeru from the gods of a different pantheon, and from one Netjer to another.
(you actually have to ask them who they are, and identify them with something the client have mentioned to that god before the reading take place if possible, especially if its a paid reading)
And I dont have any good advice about that because I learn it the hard way and was forced to gitgud really quick and I cant translate that to a Netjeru Energy Vibe Check 101.
However I can tell you that FOR ME, the Netjeru are more Gold-Tinged, Not Up There, Very On The Ground, Lots of Metallic Taste, Shimmery But Not Glittery, and you can also tell them apart from their "Voice" which has a very different Depth and Texture to it like to me Ptah's voice is Deep, of Molten Gold and Liquid Honey, it is the Warmth of Spices and the Lift of Incense and the Coolness of Water taken from an earthen jar from a deep underground cellar, the Breeze Before The Storm and the Wet Leaves Caused By A Midnight Rain.
*coughs*
as I was trying to say, cards cuts off a lot of distractions and unrelated information. You ask one thing, you pull a few cards, and you read the cards, and you get the answer.
but what if you're not sure?
this, my dear reader, is the Bitch of it all.
Like how do you know, that this information that you get from your cards is really what you should get from the cards, and how do you know the entity behind this answer through these cards, is that specific entity you are trying to get the answers from?
You Connect with the entity in question.
You put Restrictions to your reading.
You Choose an auspicious time+space.
if you know who the fuck you are talking to, call on them and their powers and their presence before, during, and after the reading.
Lets say I want to talk to, perhaps, Yinepu or Wepwawet, who I dont really work with, so I cant easily tell if its them in a reading, I will Give Offerings first and foremost, call out to them, say that I need them to guide me for this reading. Then before I shuffle the cards, I will, again, call on them, and then spell the cards:
may these cards reflects the will of Lord Yinepu/Wepwawet, may my interpretations align with their will, may the answer received comes with their blessing, and may the advice I will give is given with grace.
how you wanna do it is up to you, you cant give offerings? you can offer your energy. Dont know how to do that? then say their names out loud 5 times. Cant make any noise? Visualize giving them offerings. Cant focus with mental-type shits? move your body. Cant move? find a picture of said deity from the internet and have it on your pc/phone while doing the reading. Dont have internet? Write their name on a piece of paper and prop it up. Dont know the name of the god? Close your eyes and Pray. Pray to that said deity to help with the reading and pray that the universe does not fuck shit up.
I am that bitch that says if you dont put in the work you wont see the results. So do that with that.
And so you done ALL THE THINGS to make the reading as connected to the deity as you can and still its giving nothing, or its giving very disjointed and incohesive answers, this is when you start cutting off stray signals and unwanted entities from your readings.
Cleanse. Your. Space.
I cleanse my space to clear out any energetic gunk thus allowing energy to flow better, this, theoretically, will help make the reading easier and more accurate cause the flow of energy+magic between the diviner, the decks, and the deities+entities are faster/healthier/better/etc.
Ward. Your. Space.
But give access to the deity/entities you are trying to get answers from ofc or else its gonna be useless anyway. BTW this includes cutting off other gods too, so make sure you put a clause in your wards and cleansing spells to remove the presence and power of other gods EXCEPT the one you are trying to talk to.
I also ward my decks but most people think thats Too Much but I hate having my ritual implements and magical items possessed by a spirit, so you do you.
Choose. Your. Space. (and time)
I ward my space to create a conducive artificial environment for divination. But you can also use naturally occurring environments, and for me that is At Night, because my magic and mental state is very moon affected, and also When It Rains because, and this is totally my theory, the rain creates a bridge between heaven and earth so divination done at this time is more accurate cause the connection is stronger, plus the decks are also a kind of Bridge that connects the mundane with the magical.
You can also achieve this with sigils and special mats with sacred geometry and designated boards or whatever, you can even use the Planetary Times if you want, or chose when the moon is full or dark, at dawn or dusk, when the sun or moon is up, a room with lots of windows or doors, a space that doesnt have a lot of walls, outside in nature, under a tree, near a tree, surrounded by potted plants, because plants and trees are also Bridges, and so is a Person, and a Building!
Perspective and paradigms are such game changers, but only if you can actually make use of it.
"BUT!" you say
"IVE DONE ALL THIS AND STILL NOTHING" you say
"IVE TRIED FOR OVER A YEAR" you say
Then, I will say, Keep Trying, or Use An App, or a Website, or find a diviner to do it for you. Maybe you just happen to suck at card divination. I mean, I suck at math and I cant drive so I use calculators and public transport. You can also try to get answers from a deity through different ways: ask them to send a Sign, ask for Dreams, use Runes, use throwing bones/oracles, use Dice, use Geomancy, etc etc. Dont give up, and find something especially suited for you.
But honestly, and especially for deities, a simple offering of even a single thing, would go a long long way.
Good Luck~ :3
Erotic Mysticism While Kemetic
What is your position on Kemetic godspouses? What is your position on the KO’s and other Kemetic temples’ and communities’ stances on godspouses? Why?
So to be completely honest, I do not have any idea what the KO's or Kemetic temples' stances on godspousal are. My experiences with the Kemetic community are in a predominantly informal setting, and I've met plenty of godspouses during my time as a Kemetic practitioner. In fact, the people who introduced me to godspousal outside of the hatred on TikTok were Kemetic godspouses themselves.
I think there's plenty of historical precedent for things like godspousal, and plenty of evidence that things like human/deity relationships were at least acceptable in mythology (though the validity of that in Kemetic mythology in particular is something that's questionable with my current frame of reference and knowledge, syncretic beliefs from the same time periods that were obviously accepted by the Kemetics so, I'm apt to believe that in some ways at least some Kemetics back in the day were chill with the idea of mortal/divine relationships).
I also think, at the end of the day, it’s not expressly prohibited by any Kemetic doctrine as far as I know, even if it’s not expressly condoned either. And for me, that’s enough to be at least tolerant of it if not outright supportive of it (which I definitely do my best to be, even if sometimes I don’t understand things lmao). As long as someone isn’t harming themselves or others with their godspousal, or using it to hold themselves above others, why, at the end of the day, should I let it affect me? It’s not part of my practice, and I doubt it ever will be (never say never tho lol), but it’s not like I have any reason to shit on it?
