Their religion is a gloomy and weird superstition

About Me:

I'm Naru (they/it). I'm a Kemetic-Rasenna (Etruscan) syncretic agnostic polytheist. I've been interested in Ancient Egypt since elementary school, and my love of it and its history is deeply intertwined with my love of the Netjeru. I have a degree in an ancient history/archaeology related field and may occasionally post about that.

I try to strike a balance between reconstruction and revivalism, using my knowledge of historical practices to guide my practices. However, as a college student, someone with multiple conditions that cause executive functioning issues, and someone who needs to be discreet around some family members, I also focus on keeping things approachable for me.

I have some interest and knowledge of Hellenic, Roman, and Canaanite polytheism, and thus will occasionally reblog content related to them. I hope to eventually incorporate some Roman and Canaanite deities into my practice.

The Kemetic subtle deity worship masterpost can be found here.

Deities I Worship:

Devotion:

For me, the deities I am devoted to are those that are most important to my life, and they are the first ones I turn to in most situations. As such they are the first to be invoked in my daily offerings, receive their own unique offering at least once a week, and I try to do something to celebrate their festivals even if it's a simple vocal acknowledgement. They are both represented on my altar.

Djehuty/Thoth

Amun

Primary Worship:

These are deities that receive regular sustained worship from me. They are invoked in my daily offerings, and I try to celebrate most of their holidays in some way. I hope to eventually have depictions of all of them on my altar, but with my current financial and living situations that's not possible now.

Ptah

Menrva

Farthan

Wesir/Osiris

Aset/Isis

Ra

Khonsu

Mut

Resheph

Tinia-Ra

Feronia

Other Worship:

These deities are not included in my everyday offerings nor do I often worship their festivals but I do worship them frequently enough or they're otherwise significant to me that it feels important to mention them. This list is the most prone to change, as it depends heavily on what's currently happening in my life.

Bes

Wepwawet

Renenutet

Tinia

Sekhmet

Aset-Anat

Voltumna

Tags Guide Under Cut

Deities:

Posts about deities are tagged with their name(s). If it's about a synchronized deity (ie Amun-Ra or Ptah-Sokar-Wesir) the synchronized deity will be tagged as will all the deities that make up the synchronization. Any deities that have well known Greek names or popular variations (like Bast and Bastet) are tagged with all popular spellings that I know. Posts involving Heru/Horus will be tagged Heru and Horus and if it's mentioned what Horus (ie Heru Wer, Horus of Behdet, etc.) or I can easily tell (ie it's Horus in child form) that will also be tagged.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝑨𝒏𝒂𝒕, 𝒈𝒐𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒂𝒓

Another goddess from the Baal Cycle of Ugarit. She's probably famous enough that she hardly needs an introduction.

She is the warrior who strides through bloodshed, yet also the maiden who sings across the fields while braiding her hair.

She trampled Yam underfoot and ripped Mot apart with her own hands, earning immortal glory through her countless deeds.

Just as I did with my design of Shapash, I incorporated a few Egyptian elements to give her a more distinctive appearance.

Engraved mirrors, on the other hand, show Fufluns/Dionysus caressing his bride Ariadne or, in the words of Emeline Richardson, “rambling with her and his wild thiasos through the wild world”.

A couple Egyptian gods, don't look at the hands too hard (or at Thoth's tablets for that matter)

Hii

new pagan here and I have a question . Is Khepri worshipped as an independant deity ?

Hello! Since Khepri didn't historically have his own cult so it's difficult to say how much he was worshiped independently. However, a deity not having a unique cult doesn't mean they weren't worshiped historically, Bes didn't, but there's clear worship of him as his own entity. Additionally, in the modern day several deities who didn't historically have individual cults are worshiped ie Nut, Seshat, and Bes, so I don't see any reason why he can't be worshiped independently in the modern day.
