a/n: Alright here it is everyone! I’m going to be writing this with the Riordanverse in mind (Or I’m really trying to at least) and this will be the point of view that while the gods do not themselves have direct offspring with mortals, they do inhabit people as hosts to interact with mortals and some of their godly essence is transferred to the mortal, and what if the original blood of pharaohs operated more like they are the representation of their godly parent.
Can be interpreted as a direct demigod offspring of the Egyptian god, bloodline of or using the power of the gods with the Path of the Gods that the individual is hosting.
It's been a while since I’ve researched Egyptian mythology in great details and depth, so don’t take this as an actual presentation of Ancient Egypt and its culture and mythology. I know there are just a handful of Egyptian demigods mythological and I’m taking some liberty with it.
Also forewarning, it has been years since I’ve read the Kane Chronicles and I haven’t been able to re-read it because I realized my collection of the books are either in deep storage somewhere or were lost in the house fire years ago. If I’m mis-remembering details or something, I’m sorry and consider them as very headcanons or written with creative liberty.
There won’t be any story paragraphs like I usually do at the end because I don’t know how to write it also my brain is fried from doing this.
Sorry if the tags seem all over the place. When I was tagging them, apparently other than #thekanechronicles || #kanechronicles, there weren’t any other premade tags in Tumblr so I literally had to make my own 😩 If all fails, use those two tags PLUS #egyptian gods || #egyptian gods and their magicians || #path of the gods

☥ KANE CHRONICLES' EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIAN'S HEADCANONS:𓁧 NEPHTYS: GODDESS OF MOURNING AND LAMENTATION, OF SLEEP AND RIVERS, OF THE NIGHT, PROTECTOR OF THE DEAD 𓁧
A/N: Oh sweet Nephtys. I always liked Nephtys when I first discovered her when I was younger but when I was doing these h/cs and doing research, I realized how contradictory her mythology and information is, as well as how little and vague there is of her. In this case, the Riordanverse helped a lot by adding its own contextual, canon info that allowed me to get an idea what to write. She’s still super interesting but by gods, researching her felt like I was getting lost in a whirlpool.
EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIANS MASTERLIST {A03} || {TUMBLR}
Oh sweet, kind and gentle Nephtys. She is the most welcomed connection due to her personality and even having her as a host, has less of a risk than most other guards because of it. However, not many seek her out deliberately out of their own accord because of her personality and what she could offer. Thus, when pursuing her path it is probably one of the easiest to pursue but you won’t find as many people pursuing it with you.
However, there is also another problem as Nephtys isn’t a very confrontational god, as it would be more accurate to say she is more of a pacifist so going down her path and communicating with her may be difficult if you’re pursuing her path for non-altruistic reasons.
Nephthys’s path is Water magic, Necromancy, and Death magic. However, her paths all contain contradictory elements which is probably a factor as Nephthys could be considered a goddess of contradictions.
Although Nephthys is a Water goddess and is a River goddess, she isn’t affected by the magical disruption in the flow of water, you may not be able to purse Water magic under her path as you are still under effect of it and you may have a greater difficulty learning water magic because Nepthys’ water is pulsing with flow. It's recommended to be already familiar with water magic before pursuing this path so you aren’t swept away.
This in turn makes it difficult to perform magic because Nephthys could be considered a river goddess, her energy feels like the flow of magic constantly flow, which makes it difficult to perform your own magic. Mastering Water magic becomes the first thing you do because otherwise, you may continue having difficulty.
Necromancy and Death Magic also have their own stipulations. While it acts the same way as you can expect, Nephthys’s view of Death Magic and Necromancy is different. This is mostly because of Nephthys’ godhood and association.
Yes, you can use Necromancy, but Nephthys as the protector of the dead, she would rather have you use it for non-violent or harmful purposes and they are stronger when used for more benevolent reasons; such as answering questions, defending people, and so forth.
You may use necromancy to go in your place if you must if it's truly dangerous to risk your living life, or use it as a sense of self-defense, but she would rather treat the dead as if they were still a living being.
Death Magic is the hardest one to learn under her because she knows under her power and path, her Death magic is the most powerful and the most destructive which she finds dangerous. This is due to the fact Nephthys is a goddess who symbolizes the death experience, whilst Isis represents the birth experience. It is the strongest when you use Death Magic to protect others, against a powerful force that threatens you but never out of your own direct will towards others.
Only when you do connect with Nephthys on a much deeper level and follow her path with dedication and honesty, do you unlock a hidden path under her. It’s not one that directly comes up but only when you learn about Nephthys directly as a being and her history, and how she was viewed by the Ancient Egyptians about her function in the culture, do you realize that this magic makes the most sense considering her nature: Healing Magic.
Nephthys opens up to you that while she is capable of healing magic, she does not have that many experiences with healing with the living compared to other gods, and since not many undergo her path, this magic is unusual to be considered Healing Magic: as she had regenerative priorities on the embalming table. It’s only when you work with Necromancy in a more altruistic way and practice Healing magic on the side, you unlock how to apply regenerative magic onto living individuals; with Nephthys guiding how she regenerated bodies on the embalming table and you applying it in reverse.
I don’t think Nepthys would be mad if you decided to learn outside of her path, learn under another path user, or even learn another path of the gods if you were able to; especially when it came down to Healing magic. Her only word of caution is that it's best to learn under Isis because they are sisters and they shared many duties together.
The easiest magic to learn would be the Sleep Spell with Nephthys, since she is the goddess of sleep. However, it may come too easily and it might actually make your target sleep like the dead. Quite literally almost given Nephthys is also an underworld deity which…can make it very easy to slip. So you have to train and hold back the power of your sleep spell if you use it because of the risk.
More often than not, Nephthys presence is constant, yet quiet. She reminds you of the quiet sound of water flowing down a river in the background of nature. Only when you focus on her sound and presence, can you hear her true presence and how complex yet wonderful she is that she has always been there, a presence that is ignored but when its gone, do you truly realize how big of a presence she is.
There may be times where she is truly a motherly-figure when you’re in danger or overwhelmed, she will wrap you in water that makes you feel like you’re floating yet also encased like a hug. It reminds you like you swam and floated under the pool of water, how the sound of everything sounded different as you both felt present yet light.
“I sense a kinship with you. I am not the most powerful or ambitious god out of my family, or even with the other gods. I cannot promise you that I will be the most useful in times of great strife however , whatever I can do for those I care about, I will do what is necessary for what is important which is something I can sense we both share. I am Nephthys, Goddess of Mourning and Lamenation, of Sleep and Rivers and Night, protector of the Dead.”
☥ KANE CHRONICLES' EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIAN'S HEADCANONS:
𓁴BAST(ET): GODDESS OF CATS AND PROTECTION, AND THE (Second) EYE OF RA ☥
A/N: Not gonna lie, I unabashedly channeled my love for cats and my own ideas of being like a cat into this headcanon. I mean come on, its BAST. I really had to.
EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIANS MASTERLIST {A03} || {TUMBLR}
No joke, I think the people pursuing this path are highly motivated cat people which is saying something like Egyptian magicians where the Egyptians really like cats. So having a connection and talking to the goddess of Cats? Bast herself? MEOW LETS GO.
Bast’s path is Combat Magic, Healing Magic, and Animal Charming of Cats. Self explanatory, plain and simple right? It pretty much is but for what makes it up for the lack of options is its strength and skill. Rather than having more skill sets under this path, you’re pretty much made to focus on these three aspects and you’re going to master it all.
With Bast’s Combat Magic, her version favours less for brutal strength and more for agility and speed; much like a cat would be. When using her combat magic, you become much like a cat, able to leap and turn in the air, allowing you greater flexibility with quick precision like acrobatics with knives. It is also useful for general maneuverability across complex structures, as you are able to more easily parkour your way around when needed.
Basically, now you are able to be like a cat! Without having to cough hairballs either!
Another form of Bast’s Combat Magic is producing deadly claws to tear into enemies, or using her mighty paws to bat away enemies when needed.
Healing Magic comes just as easily as an off-shoot of Sekhmet who is also goddess of healing. You are best as curing diseases and thus curses and evil spirits-bau as cats were credited for getting rid of vermin and keeping diseases away and comes much more easily with connecting with Bast.
For general healing like wounds and actual physical damages to the body, you still need to practice and use it regularly to get the hang of it.
If you tap into Bast good enough, your healing magic has a cat purring effect that brings a lot of comfort and healing to your patients.
While not mentioned much, due to Bast’s connection to Ra as the Eye of Ra, pursuing her path allows you greater affinity with Fire elemental magic, and perhaps Earth magic as she was a protector of crops and as a land mammal. Your weakest elemental affinity is water because its opposition to the moon and fire, and well…cats generally don’t like water.
Especially since Bast is a desert cat deity and due to the nature of flowing magic, both you and Bast may not be especially not as keen with flowing water.
Talking with Bast and with her experience with the Kane siblings, this isn’t her first radio but is extremely curious why you decided to follow her path. It doesn’t really matter what reason you give her as she’ll be happy to teach you what she knows.
Expect her to be like a ‘mama’ cat where she’ll teach you the ropes in both a gentle yet rough manner where she lets you try something first yourself as an experience, but is there to catch you or turn you away if it's out of your depth.
The younger you are, the more protective she’s going to be which is very on par as she’s the Goddess of Protection and protects the children of the pharaoh in Ancient Egypt.
Depending how you are, she may or may not teach you things just yet or depending how dangerous your environment is; always telling you that you can always run away to live another day; especially if there are others who can take over.
Considering Bast typically hosts in cats, like her current host for the longest time was Muffins, Sadie Kane’s cat, don’t be disappointed if you’re not achieving the best as you can when channel large cat energy for sympathetic magic to work,
Animal Charming is going to bring so much joy if you love cats (which if you’re pursuing this path, you are a cat lover) and it’s going to be a step up from going pspspsp to the cats. Just cats, cats everywhere. Become the crazy cat lady™ and have your colony of cats as your army.
I feel like while you could use Bast’s Animal Charming for Large and Lesser cats, like tigers, cougars, panthers, and etc, I suggest getting a hand on regular cat animal charming before attempting. You might have a greater chance in animal charming a lion since Bast is also technically Sekhmet but there are risks around.
Still it’s always best to research on all kind of cats just in case- oh who are we kidding? We’re cat lovers, we’ve definitely researched into other cats and know how similar they can be.
Just imagine carrying all kinds of cat treats and toys on you because you never know. And catnip/Silvervine for…certain reasons. You regularly give catnip and other fine cat treats to Bast as an offering.
I can imagine you and Sadie Kane bonding over cats and Bast, and its not long until you both start bringing in stray cats and kittens over. You can literally feel Bast purring and chirping at all the kittens who are mewing for attention.
NOTE: It is unsure if you can charm a sphinx because of the cat animal charming skill, but it might not work because the Sphinx does have a human face and personality so it may not work in general. Do not attempt without thorough research and consultation.
However, given that the Egyptian Sphinx was seen as a protector of pharaohs and Egypt, and as a magician with the blood of the Pharaohs, there is a good chance that you could get along with a Sphinx.
“Oh, look what we have here, I sense a little kitten. You must have a great affinity towards cats and felines, if I am able to connect with you! Although you seem unassuming, I can sense the fire of independence in you. I am Bast, goddess of Cats and Protection, the Second Eye of Ra; show me your claws and I will show you how to use them well.”
☥ KANE CHRONICLES' EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIAN'S HEADCANONS: 𓊨𓏏𓆇𓁐 ISIS: GODDESS OF MAGIC, MOTHERHOOD, WOMEN, MARRIAGE, CHILDBIRTH, AND FAMILY feat. RUBY KANE ☥
a/n: Gotta do Isis after her husband, it just doesn’t feel right not to. You know despite Isis being a popular goddess (or at least as I’ve seen) there haven’t been much, actual? Stuff written with her in mind? Other than “she’s the goddess of magic” but even that isn’t detailed too much.
EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIANS MASTERLIST {A03} || {TUMBLR}
Ah Isis; a somewhat more common bloodline when great women in times of need pray for Isis to inhabit them. It's also the most welcome connection for a magician since Isis is the goddess of Magic.
In general, when you go down the path of Isis and establish a connection with Isis, it's best if you’re a lover of magic and are open to all the possibilities. As the goddess of Magic, Isis has a plethora of knowledge which is best if you’re flexible and broad in your own pursuit of knowledge and power.
There’s no shortage of magicians going down the path of Isis, since it allows you to tap into the Divine Words, Elemental magic, and Healing magic. Establishing a connection with Isis requires a strong ambition for power and the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.
However, talking to Isis for a long period of time requires patience and being able to appeal to Isis due to her ambitions; where you have to prove to Isis that you are willing to learn and for what reason. If you’re lucky, maybe Isis will find compassion in you and will stick around because of it.
Honestly when you are able to connect with Isis, you will feel like you’re going to be scrutinized and analyzed by the goddess. She will ask why you want to go down her path and from there, see if it's in her best interest to establish a connection with you. Once you do, she’ll be overlooking you unironically like an overbearing mother, who is strict and wants the best for you. If you are able to appeal to her as a ‘child’ to her, she’ll be softer and gentler with you but a mother all the same.
When you’re pursuing Healing Magic, Isis’s path of the Gods requires you to learn about poison. To cure yourself and your loved ones using antidotes, but more importantly, how to use poison to gain an upper hand in any situation necessary; just like Isis poisoned Ra to learn his Secret Name. Your healing is only good enough if you know your poisons.
When you begin to learn Divine Words, Isis’s approach feels very much like when you were a child and your mother was teaching you the alphabet and words. Isis will coach you how to pronounce the hieroglyphic spells into Divine words, Isis will insist you pronouncing it the way she does; given that Isis is probably the most authentic and original way of how it’s said, the closer you are able to say the hieroglyphic to how Isis says it, the more powerful the Divine word is.
You’ll be able to speak the Divine words, because Isis won’t stand for it under her own watch; but its effect and potency depends on how much Isis feels towards you, and your linguistic ability to grasp and pronounce the Hieroglyphic. Unless you host Isis, do not expect to be able to speak it to its truest form.
I feel like Elemental Magic is the easiest yet hardest thing to learn, especially from Isis because it's the most basic magic to learn, there are many varieties that you find yourself drawn to. However, as the goddess of Magic, Isis requires you to learn every single elemental magic as you can and the strongest power it can achieve.
She would even has you learning lightning magic but don’t be surprised if you don’t learn/fail at it because it's Chaos magic, or not being able to perform all of the elemental magic- since Isis does it out of curiosity and isn’t surprised because she is the goddess of Magic, so her being able to use any elemental magic without restriction is expected of her.
There’s a possibility you may be able to use Ice magic, but that is a very rare skill and probably requires you having a talent or strong affinity with Air and Water magic. Don’t be sad though if you can’t do it because again, not many can do it.
It is unsure if you are able to use cheese elemental magic as part of Isis’s path of Elemental magic but who knows? Between Ice and Cheese elemental magic, its going to be fun to find out.
“Mother knows best” energy from Isis and it could go either way at times, so be prepared for that.
I think when having a connection with Isis, you also are able to talk to Ruby Kane, whether because of her connection with the goddess or Ruby being the ‘wife’ of Osiris-Julius, and you can’t help thinking of Ruby whenever Isis’s much more softer persona comes out; so if you’re feeling a little bit of Isis’ tough mother love, Ruby Kane would appear to comfort you and give you her perspective on Isis as well as listening to any troubles you may have.
If you have the skills of being a Diviner, Isis would put forward Ruby and have her guide you in this gift.
That said, I feel like Ruby Kane would appear more often than not to help tutor you in being a magician, especially when it comes to more mortal aspects and you can feel her slip into her role as a teacher from her times as a professor in university.
If you use too much magic and try to draw too much power from Isis, you’re subjected to the side effects of being in her memories as a goddess and all the human hosts that she resided in. While some memories are good and enjoyable, there are many memories of death and struggles, of anguish and pain.
You also may get a first hand look into Ruby Kane’s memories and all the visions she saw as a diviner of what could’ve been and what had happened, as well as getting a close look at Apophis and being bitten by his minions.
Whether you like babies or not, you don’t really have a choice because when you connect with Isis, you will feel the maternal instincts and your duties will fall upon children and babies. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself raising baby kittens or taking care of a younger magician in your spare time; this is what happens when you follow the path of Isis; who is the goddess of childbirth and motherhood.
When you start pursuing this path, Sadie Kane makes her appearance very early on and is there to support you, as a fellow mentor, magician, or what have you. If you’re ever having problems with Isis or the path for it, she’s there for you. With her personality, you can always tell she means well and wants to help you.

You have great power and ambition much like I do, and you will do what is necessary to achieve what is necessary. I am Isis, the Goddess of Magic and Motherhood, Queen of the Gods, Wife of Osiris, now demonstrate to me how much you are willing and how far you’re willing to achieve what you want”
☥ KANE CHRONICLES' EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIAN'S HEADCANONS: 𓁭 OSIRIS: GOD OF THE DEAD AND LIVING, AGRICULTURE, REGENERATION, LORD OF AARU (FIELD OF REEDS) feat. JULIUS KANE ☥
a/n: Alright everyone, here’s the first Egyptian God and Magician’s headcanons! I think I did alright and tried to pair back from canon egyptian lore from the Riordanverse as well as real life history, at least as much as I can with online resources. Hopefully I did Osiris justice. Hope you all enjoy this and have a nice day! Thanks for reading!
EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIANS MASTERLIST {A03} || {TUMBLR}
Osiris bloodline and connection is not very common, nearing rare, given his position as the God of the Dead and Living, and is generally occupied with managing the Duat. That said, his connection to his host and those related to him is maintained with their strong practice and focusing on the realm of death; particularly keeping in mind of Egyptian practices and values.
Osiris’ Path of the Gods features Death Magic, Necromancy, Healing Magic, and Animation. If you’re particularly connected to Osiris, you find yourself having a talent in those realms of magic and comes most easily to you. All have their own challenges that may be easier or not due to your own beliefs.
Osiris when you manage to connect with him, tells you that the power you are about to wield and should you go down this path, he puts the stipulation that you must use these powers selflessly and without abuse. He is the god of the Dead and Living, and given his position, he is very serious about this role.
You may have a connection with him and while he wants to encourage your pursuit of knowledge with a fatherly, scholarly enthusiasm, he has seen what corrupt men mishandle the knowledge given and use it unjustly.
That said, with the persona of Julius Kane, he is readily available when he is able to answer questions you may have and guide you through with both the perspective of a researcher and father. This makes learning the path of Osiris easier in the sense you are guided with steady hands but at the same time, harder because you still have to stumble through mistakes and feel the everbearing weight of Osiris’ eyes.
A side-effect of having connections with Osiris is that you are susceptible to being in his memories. Adding to the fact that he is alive and dead, you feel torn between being alive and dead, literally feeling the weight of existentialism. Whenever you dig down into the power of Death Magic and Necromancy, you can feel the ghost of its power wash over you, as you’re more intune with that realm of power.
If you use those magic too much, you inevitably connect yourself with Osiris too much and you live his memories of dying, being cut up, and being put back together again.
Osiris does his best to console you and be there for you, but there’s not much he can do since this is the cost of connecting with Osiris directly and going down his path of the gods.
Depending how young you are, Osiris does not recommend you practicing Death Magic and Necromancy too much over Animation And Healing magic, his reasoning that while both life and death are both connected and balanced, you should not be so quick to learn of the realm of death any faster.
It's for this reason Animation magic and ‘Sunu’ Healing magic is something Osiris encourages you to participate in regularly, whether you like it or not. Sure he’s no Sekhmet with the path of healing, but it reminds you that you are alive and its good for you to be surrounded with Life.
Healing Magic has it draws though because on one hand, the feedback of feeling someone else's' pain through healing magic is numb on you but it also rushes through you, like you were giving a splash of cold water. When it comes to healing magic, your best as healing wounds, injuries, and physical forms of pain because the relation of the body with Osiris. However it comes to dealing with curses, and other things, that’s less in your wheelhouse unless you deliberately work on it yourself.
However, with being connected to Osiris, your healing magic is powerful in the sense you could bring back someone to life. However, the temptation with the Eye of Osiris at the precipice of your abilities is hard to resist because it can bring someone back to life permanently.
Osiris agrees there may be cases that you could theoretically use it for unjustified or unplanned death, however, he stresses that all things have their places. The part of Julius Kane in him agrees with the temptation and lull of it, and there may be a time to use it, but only once and only truly.
With your connection to Osiris, you can see the dead, ghosts, and other related spirits much more easily. You feel obligated to hear their words, help them along back to the Ma’at when able to, and basically act as Osiris’ agent.
While I may have said that with Julius Kane as his persona, you still have to deal with Osiris being in your head. Osiris may seem like a pretty approachable persona but as he becomes more assured in your magician abilities, he isn’t exempt from wanting to be in control. Whenever he sees an injustice done by a ghost in the living world, he makes you go deal with it or he would deal with it himself, making you perform rites to make sure it is done properly.
That or as Julius Kane, often has you dropping by the Kane siblings to pass on messages and the such. He’s still their father after all. You end up being in close contact with the Kane siblings because of this.
Although not often, when you do meet Ammitt, the demon is always happy to see you and you can’t help giving her the puppy voice and many pets. Osiris tells you to only call her by her name respectfully, but you still can’t help it.
Osiris bloodline and connection is not very common, nearing rare, given his position as the God of the Dead and Living, and is generally occupied with managing the Duat.

Depending how young you are, Osiris does not recommend you practicing Death Magic and Necromancy too much over Animation And Healing magic, his reasoning that while both life and death are both connected and balanced, you should not be so quick to learn of the realm of death any faster.
It's for this reason Animation magic and ‘Sunu’ Healing magic is something Osiris encourages you to participate in regularly, whether you like it or not. Sure he’s no Sekhmet with the path of healing, but it reminds you that you are alive and its good for you to be surrounded with Life.
Healing Magic has it draws though because on one hand, the feedback of feeling someone else's' pain through healing magic is numb on you but it also rushes through you, like you were giving a splash of cold water. When it comes to healing magic, your best as healing wounds, injuries, and physical forms of pain because the relation of the body with Osiris. However it comes to dealing with curses, and other things, that’s less in your wheelhouse unless you deliberately work on it yourself.
However, with being connected to Osiris, your healing magic is powerful in the sense you could bring back someone to life. However, the temptation with the Eye of Osiris at the precipice of your abilities is hard to resist because it can bring someone back to life permanently.
Osiris agrees there may be cases that you could theoretically use it for unjustified or unplanned death, however, he stresses that all things have their places. The part of Julius Kane in him agrees with the temptation and lull of it, and there may be a time to use it, but only once and only truly.
With your connection to Osiris, you can see the dead, ghosts, and other related spirits much more easily. You feel obligated to hear their words, help them along back to the Ma’at when able to, and basically act as Osiris’ agent.
While I may have said that with Julius Kane as his persona, you still have to deal with Osiris being in your head. Osiris may seem like a pretty approachable persona but as he becomes more assured in your magician abilities, he isn’t exempt from wanting to be in control. Whenever he sees an injustice done by a ghost in the living world, he makes you go deal with it or he would deal with it himself, making you perform rites to make sure it is done properly.
That or as Julius Kane, often has you dropping by the Kane siblings to pass on messages and the such. He’s still their father after all. You end up being in close contact with the Kane siblings because of this.
Although not often, when you do meet Ammitt, the demon is always happy to see you and you can’t help giving her the puppy voice and many pets. Osiris tells you to only call her by her name respectfully, but you still can’t help it.

“To pursue my path and to seek my guidance is to walk a path of justice and balance. To guide both the living and the dead, because both seek their dues. I am Osiris, God of the Living and the Dead and Lord of Aaru, who oversees the Field of Reeds.”
