"Make way! Pharaoh Ramses II approaches!!"

Pharaoh and his chariot are now complete. I just need to make a base for this whole piece.

The chariot set took about 2.5 weeks to complete and it was fun! This is one of the largest pieces I've ever done.

Where are your passions? What do you love to do? What makes you happy? It's time to rediscover those things. Get out into the world and look around. Who's there? What strange, wonderful thing is rolling around within you waiting to be born? Don't be afraid of your own beautiful magnificence. Don't worry that you're not "normal" or "usual" or that you feel different than others. That's what makes you glorious. Be yourself and see what happens! #tarot #oracles #runes #charms #divinersofinstagram #divination #darkgoddesstarot #themusesdarling #witchesofinstagram #Qadesh #beyouboo

At War: Ramesses II in the Thick of the Battle of Qadesh  (poem excerpt)

Then his majesty set off at a gallop,

He plunged amid the forces of the Hittite foe,

Being entirely on his own, no other with him.

 So his majesty went on to look around him;

He found twenty-five hundred chariots

Hemming him in all around,

--all the Hittite foe’s swiftest force, …

--three men to a chariot, acting as one unit.

 [The king speaks:]”But there was no high officer with me,

   No charioteer,

      No army soldier,

         No shield bearer,

But my army and my chariotry melted away before them;

None could stand up to them, to fight with them.”

 Then said his majesty:

“What’s up with you, now, my father Amun?

Has it been a father’s part ever to ignore his son?

And have I done anything without you?

Do I not go and stop at your word?

--I have disobeyed no plan that you have commanded!

How much greater is he, mighty Lord of Egypt,

Than to allow mere foreigners to approach his path.

What are these Asiatics to you, O Amun?

--despicable creatures, ignorant of God!

Have I not made for you a crowd of monuments?

    I filled your temples with my captures.

…   …   …

“I built great pylons for you,

       Myself setting up their great flagstaffs.

I brought you obelisks from Elephantine,

       Myself acting as stone carrier.

I directed for you ships at sea,

       Ferrying for you the tribute of foreign lands.

-

What will people say, if even the least evil befalls him,

who depended on your consel?

--Do good to him who counts on you.

--then people will serve you willingly indeed.

I have called on you, O Amun,

While I am among multitudes whom I know not.

All the foreign lands have united against me,

       I being left utterly alone, none others with me.

…   …   …

“See even though I made a petition from the back of beyond,

My voice echoed in distant Thebes.

I found that Amun came, just as I called him;

       He gave me his hand, so I rejoiced.

He spoke out from behind me, as close as face to face:

‘Forward!  I am with you, I am your Father, my hand is on you!’

…   …   …

“So I shot on my right and captured on my left, …

I found that the twenty-five hundred chariots, in whose midst I was,

Fell prostrate before my horses; none could fight.”

…   …   …

[The Hittites shout:] “He’s no mere man, who’s among us!

--It’s Seth great-in-power, Ball in person!

Not the acts of a mere man, the things he does;

They belong to one who is utterly unique!”

I feel like a terrible devotee cause since the start of the year, I've mostly been inactive due to tiredness, sickness, and some days, it hurts to stand. Anytime there's sexual energy being created, I try to share some their way, but other than that, really no offerings. I know they are cheering me on and I'm sure they appreciate that I do devote some thought time to them. And it isn't a loss of faith, no. My health has just been rocky between balancing my home life and my job that sucks too much energy out of me. Like, I know some of you have hit this road before. What have y'all done?

WIP of another historic minis. This Assyrian archer is part of the Hittite forces. I recently moved my painting station to our basement because it is so hot, so I'm getting used to it still!

Not too bad of progress!
