Trying this again.
So I realized this morning that basically the only thing I’ve had up here for months is me flailing about my brain’s inability to process tumblr.
<_< I’m an old fogey at heart, but not that old.
Let’s try this again, shall we? I’ll even throw in an old photo for good measure. Set bling! Woo. The silver one I wear… pretty much every day.
My tongue is as sharp
As any sword
I pierce the foul serpent
With these words
Be dismembered
Despicable snake!
Crushed under my feet
Spat upon
There is no home for uncreation
In the created
Kemetic Tip
The act of cleaning can be an everyday offering, devotional activity, and it can be a form of Heka by utilizing the actions and the possible symbolism of cleaning. Cleaning can symbolize establishing the cosmic order (chaos becomes order, messy becomes clean) and by doing so it can be a very simple way of upholding ma’at as well.
there were laser cut, acrylic earrings of hermanubis in my dream last night, and i want them!!
Commission of Sekhmet for Lucy! The prompt of her being tipsy was really funny!

🌈 The Netjeru and Queerness: Divine Diversity in Ancient Egypt
As Pride Month arrives, many modern pagans and Kemetics find themselves asking: What place does queerness have among the Netjeru?
The answer is more nuanced than a simple modern label. Ancient Egypt did not categorize sexuality and gender in the same ways we do today. Yet when we look at the myths, symbols, and nature of the gods themselves, we find a divine world that is often fluid, transformative, and resistant to rigid boundaries.
The gods of Kemet regularly transcend the limits that humans experience.
Aset becomes a bird and a woman. Ra becomes Khepri, Ra, and Atum in a single day. Djehuty is both moon and wisdom, both divine speech and divine record. The Netjeru shift forms, merge identities, and embody multiple truths simultaneously.
The divine is not limited by a single shape.
One of the oldest goddesses of Egypt, Neith was described as a creator who existed before the world itself. In some traditions she is said to have brought forth creation without a partner.
She is warrior and mother, creator and protector. Neith reminds us that divine power does not always fit neatly into expected roles.
The story of Aset is one of persistence, magic, and transformation. Through knowledge and determination she changes fate itself.
For many queer practitioners, Aset represents the sacred ability to become fully oneself despite obstacles. Her myths celebrate self-determination, resilience, and the power to reshape one’s destiny.
The moon is never static.
Khonsu appears as child, youth, traveler, healer, and protector. Each month he changes form before our eyes while remaining entirely himself.
For many modern devotees, Khonsu’s cycle can be a reminder that change is not the opposite of authenticity. Growth is part of being alive.
Perhaps the most important Kemetic concept for Pride Month is not a particular deity but Ma’at itself.
Ma’at is truth, balance, rightness, and the proper order of the world.
Living according to Ma’at means living truthfully. It means rejecting falsehood and honoring what is real.
For many queer Kemetics, embracing one’s authentic identity can be understood as an act of Ma’at: choosing truth over concealment.
The ancient Egyptians left us no single doctrine about modern LGBTQ+ identities. What they left instead is a rich spiritual tradition filled with transformation, multiplicity, creativity, and divine complexity.
The Netjeru appear as animals and humans. They are one and many. They change forms. They merge. They reveal hidden names and hidden truths.
The gods themselves remind us that the sacred is often larger than the categories we try to place around it.
This Pride Month, may the Netjeru bless all who seek to live in truth.
May Aset grant courage.
May Djehuty grant wisdom.
May Khonsu light the road ahead.
And may Ma’at guide us toward a world where every soul can stand openly in its truth.
𓋹 Pride is not the opposite of devotion. Living truthfully can itself be an offering.

Cute Family of Gods by PolaristheCepheid
Detail from “The Ark of Millions,” by Setken.
The painting centres around four of the creator deities from some of the principal creation myths of Ancient Kemet: Ra, Ptah, Atum and Amon. They ride upon the golden boat that both supports, moves and contains the creation secrets of All That Is.
Ptah and Sekhmet by Sanio
These were a part of a Icon assignment where I was to design 20 icons based of a theme of my choosing. In this case I chose to do 20 Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses.
An Oracle of Ptah, in His Name of Apis
Take what you want and leave the rest. This is a general message as part of my oracular practice.
The Great Bull comes forth, Ptah-Sokar-Wesir in His guise as Apis. The Bull of His Mother shines in the pasture. His horns are the sun and moon, all the lights of the earth emanate from him, all the lights of the Duat emanate from Him, all the lights of the Heavens emanate from Him. The great bull speaks:
Hail! I am the one who lives, then dies, then lives again. To take of my body is the great blessing, that you too may live again. I am he who Begets Himself: so too are you. Each day, you rise new, born from who you were yesterday. Who will you be tomorrow?
I am the great green, the one from whom all vegetation sprouts. I am He of the earthly delights. I bring forth that which pleases you. Receive it, recieve me. You are pure, you are pure. The Golden One shines beside Me. I drink of Her honey and share its blessings with you. Wet your lips with the light of the sun, and know the Joyous Ones are beside you. The trials have come, and they are many. You may find yourself at the sacrifcial altar. But remember: I too was burned there. I was born again the next day.
And so are you.
Hi there! I was wondering if you’ve ever worked with Ptah in your practice and if so, what is he like? I’m been interested in connecting with him but I can’t find too much info on him (other than his myths). Thank you!
I haven’t really worked with him, sorry. But I’ll post this and maybe people who have can reblog it with some info! Watch the notes :)
Hey @ptah-ikemi-ka
This looks right up your alley!
ayyy! thanks @idi-the-noof and @satsekhem for the mention!
Its true tho, you wont get much out of Google, and I heard of a book? or article? about Ptah but I think it was in German or French and it is hella expensive and I have no idea what the title is.
*UPG VALLEY*
His voice is of Molten Gold and Liquid Honey, Dark, Deep, and Knowing.
Divine. Divine. Divine. As a God who brought forth Creation from his Will and Word, his voice is DIVINE. You will FEEL THINGS, You will QUESTION your lust towards your latest KPOP lead singer’s voice, and you will even possibly feel things in your loins.
DO NOT GIVE IN!!! (unless you want to but please do that later) or you will melt at his feet and be all zombie and you’re gonna waste that opportunity to actually say Hi.
The first thing you are gonna realize about Ptah is that, he doesnt talk much, unless he needs too. He’s more of a In The Background kinda deity, and he watch you from the shadows and likes to Nudge things your way and leave Hints and Tips. But dont expect to get CLEAR OBVIOUS RESULTS.THINGS when working with him.
BE PROACTIVE. BE DIRECT! BE OBVIOUS!
He will disappear from time to time, and become unreachable, to recharge himself. This is Normal.
He loves things that you Create on your own. Anything, anything at all. the Act of Creation is both Magical and Sacred, and it has MEANINGS and it is looked upon favourably.
He will School you. no no, that is the right word. not Teach, School. Buckle up, you’re going to get you ass handed to you. (oh you will KNOW when he’s about to do this)
The version of Ptah you will find, will vary. It could be Ptah, or Ptah-Sokar or Ptah-Tatenen. Maybe his Syncretic Forms will knock on the door, so please dont be surprised if Ptah-Sokar-Wesir comes up, also Ptah-Ra-Atum and Ptah-Tatenen-Nun.
He can Get Mad at times, and if you do happen to anger him, apologize, and well, ask him how to make him not angry anymore. (but please wait 4 business days before you attempt this, he kinda stew his feelings)
You will bump into Lady Sekhmet, (if you do astral work) most probably. SHOW RESPECT and TREAT HER LIKE THE QUEEN THAT SHE IS because she gets angry for Ptah before Ptah gets angry for himself and when Sekhmet is angry it will Quake. But Sekhmet is really really chill actually not gonna lie.
TRY NOT TO TELEPORT INSIDE PTAH’s ROOM-OFFICE. Always knock on the door first. PLEASE FOR HEAVENS SAKE KNOCK FIRST or you will eventually find them doing the thing and you are gonna get embarrassed as hell.
Lord Imhotep is a Very Important Person in Ptah’s Temple. Please give him Offerings too if you can, because he is responsible in dealing with new Devotees and Priests, but you might not see him much, if at all, he tend to travel for his work.
okay thats all I can think about now sorry about all the screaming ahahahaha
ps: he can really make you all melt and putty and subby so please consider and define boundaries first.
pps: ask him what offerings he wants, the standard ones are always ok
ppps: He loves Gold and Brown and Black and Red.
if you have anything you wanna know, just ask! :D <3
was talking with someone about Ptah and his Syncretic Forms.
What I’ve managed to accomplish since I woke up this morning, refreshing and renewing the sacred space for my patrons.
The shadowbox their place is got a good cleaning before the images and the staff and lotus altar cloth were placed back inside. A copper patina Miss Monster Komainu mask rests on top, as much a greeter as a guard.
Sekhmet, solar warrior healer mother-lioness gets pomegranate tea with black pepper, frankincense and myrrh chunks; as well as a large chunk of tektite that she liked. Ptah, sculptor and architect of the world and stars, got my old clay pyramid vessel from highschool filled with dry peach blossom white tea, myrrh, orange peel, and orris root powder with an opalite ball topping it off. Between them, since the box is small and wooden, is an led tealight candle, and several cardamon seed pods that they liked. Sekhmet might insist upon something sharp, bitter and alcoholic being added to her glass later.
So we moved at the start of the month, which means it's time to establish a new shrine.
It's bare bones right now, and that's okay. They would rather me work with what I have than perfection. No words spoken beyond the simple incense and flame prayer. None needed. Instead I feel Their love washing over me, a forceful hug from my divine Fathers.
I love Them, and They love me.
