rituals & introductions to gods 06/12/25
Did a little ritual tonight in order to create a money bowl and complete a justice spell on the full moon. Unfortunately, my justice spell was interrupted so I will probably have a go another time.
I also did my first "praising" of the Netjeru tonight, giving offerings of salt and water. The attached pictures are of where I put the offerings post-ritual, in a space on my dresser that I have now somehow associated with the Netjeru even though it isn't really a working "altar". I read hymns to Anpu, Djehuty, Heru and Khonsu. This was really a put-together-last-minute-thing as everything in my life often are, with an effort to get a lot of things done in a short time, so it was a bit messy t.t.
I don't think I felt any discernable "presence" from any dieties, but that is okay. I think I would be way more disheartened if it weren't for my oracle cards, that I was using. I didn't really ask many questions as much as just start shuffling, after I announced the offerings.
Pulled from left to right:
I Give Blessings (I was absolutely stunned to pull this directly after giving offerings)
I Benefit With Gratitude (i can't help but feel like this was the netjeru being grateful, but that feels like... just, wow, y'know? no way)
I Do Good (thank u)
I Am Trustful In My Relationships (I interpreted this as a "trust in the gods" or "trust that we are here") kind of thing.
I Give Offerings That Are Genuine (okay, wow, maybe they are real)
I Hold Purity in High Esteem (this one I wasn't sure about, and was curious what other people thought about).
Regarding 6, I thought it was a bit left field, I'm not a person big on "purity", moral or otherwise, is it a big thing in ancient Egyptian culture or is there some cultural context I'm missing. The other thing is that I'm on my period, so I was wondering if that was seen as "unclean" or something (I know thats a Abrahamic belief but thats just what I thought of considering I was scratching my head about what "purity" means in this context). I probably wouldn't have given this card much thought if it wasn't for the fact that the other ones felt so clearly related.
I don't know what the theological implications for me are about any of this and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.
