I don’t even know how to name this

Ive realised that sometimes when i practice and spend time with the netjeru, i tap into something way more significant than i thought before. Usually the sessions are pretty strong in connection and energy, and i feel them really deeply, it’s really intense. But I realised that i do not remember most of the things that happen when i connect with the netjeru after it’s finished and i go about my day. And sometimes out of nowhere i remember something i totally forgot had happened, even wondering if it was not a dream (wasn’t jrjfkrjeek).

Is it something common? I would love to hear experiences and maybe learn something new if it has a name and explanation! Dua Netjeru!

Apophis asteroid will be visible for 7 hours on April 13th 2029

This is a confirmed celestial event due to happen in our near future.

This isn't like an eclipse where it's way more common than you'd think, this is a big one and I for one am HYPED.

It's still a few years away yet but I wanted to share this with the community for anyone wanting to do something special for the occasion.

Apophis, for those unaware, is the Egyptian god of darkness and the ultimate enemy of Ra, his goal being to swallow the sun. Apophis the depicted as a giant snake.

Sorry for the bare bones explanation but its a good jumping off point for personal research.

I couldn't find any sources linking the asteroid to the god directly, as far as I can tell it's just a name they picked. However if im wrong please let me know.

Anpu being silly

Yesterday evening, i was meditating with Anpu, but was sadly very distracted because there was a fricking mosquito. Ugh.

I still tried to connect but didn’t feel anything, so i asked for Khonsu for help because He just is more responsive and communicative to me, so he generally helps in this type of situations.

I feel a little more grounded and continue the session, and at this point i wasn’t paying attention to the mosquito anymore and didn’t even know if it was still here or not.

At the end of the session, while i was blowing out the candles, i realised that Anpu's candle had snatched the mosquito while it was flying, and it ended up trapped and dying in the wax.

Dude was as pissed as me and i wasn’t able to connect with him because he was more focused on killing the bastard. Found it very funny, 10/10

Dua Anpu!

Dua Khonsu, Dua Sekhmet 🌑☀️

I wanted to share some of the things i did in the last few days because they just feel really significant to me in my practice and relationship building with Khonsu And Sekhmet.

First, i want to talk about the night of the new moon (and eclipse) that i spent with Khonsu. It was a simple meditation session with him plus some cookies as an offering, that i make every new and full moon for him. It was a really important night for me because it was the same day i celebrated Wep Ronpet, so it was heavy on the "new start/era" energies (Wep Ronpet, eclipse, new moon). And yea, it definitely was! My mind, body and energy felt like a blank canvas, i was sooo relaxed! It was also a very deep meditative space i was in (at least for me), it felt so great. His flame on the candle was extremely tall and still, as well as the incense smoke that was in a perfect straight line, the energy was so concentrated and i definitely felt him. He may become more present in my practice in the future. Then we enjoyed the cookies together, it definitely is the best part of our rituals, it feels so intimate and reassuring, sharing the pure delight of eating cookies haha

Now, with Lady Sekhmet, which i didn’t feel that close to until a few days ago, i felt a call from her to burn and let go of difficult things i wrote in my journal earlier in the (gregorian) year, about someone and a situation linked to them that hurt me deeply, despite me not wanting to get involved in it in the beginning. I have cut all relational ties with this person and haven’t seen them for almost 3 months, but they keep appearing in my dreams and in my mind every day. Plus i will definitely have to deal with their presence during the next school year approaching. So i listened to her, grabbed this old journal, lit Her candle, some insence, tore the pages relating to this situation, wrote in red my intentions, fold and burnt the papers one by one on Her flame. She gave me so much strenght and power while i was releasing so much negative energies stuck in me for way too long. She felt me being hesitant at first, and it was hard to burn the very first paper, but then i felt braver each time, and the last two flames were so strong, She knew what i had gone through, and it consumed with so much passion. I feel lighter, almost cried, and i finally feel and know that i was never guilty, and that i should have never beared this weight alone. I am at peace.

Dua Khonsu, Dua Sekhmet!!

First time spending time with Lady Bastet

For context, Bast has been a really important figure in my life, since i was about 7/8 yo. She was absolutely fascinating for me, as i had hyperfixations on both Ancient Egypt and cats. At 13, when i first heard about Kemetism, i immediately tried to reach out to her but without recieving anything as a response. I definitely believed, but i tried to push it down and forget it. I did eventually forget it due to traumatic events that happened in the same time frame.

Fast forward to now, i got back into Kemetism while being way more grounded and documented on the subject, but this time thanks to Anpu who literally came into my life randomly (i had a flash of him entering my room where i had the window open while there was a burst of wind). Ive been mostly working with him while honoring Khonsu on the full moon and Khepri in the morning, but i still felt a really important pull towards Lady Bastet, as well as Sekhmet.

Last time i went thrifting for altar supplies i saw this beautiful figure of a cat, definitely inspired by her. I didn’t have the money so i left her there. But i kept thinking about her and how pretty she was, that it must have been a sign of her waiting for me. So i got the statue, and i immediately felt her presence and energy. I decided to finally try again by simply meditating with her, a candle, and some offerings. It was absolutely beautiful. I could feel her presence all around me, and we could even communicate with words! It felt like words and phrases popping into my brain that i didn’t create, and other things mike that. I almost cried, it’s like i finally got to meet a Mother for the first time, as we both waited for each other to be ready. I know she as worked for me behind the scenes all my life, and i can finally thank her. I love her so much, and i know she loves me too.

After the meditation, i put on music from a big playlist of energetic songs i could dance to for her. The song that popped up was "push go" by Poppy, which i absolutely love. While dancing and enjoying myself and her presence, the lyrics "you need to be protecting your own heart" which are repeated in different parts of the song, felt way more noticeable than when i usually listen to the song. I felt the intention was way more present, so i took it as a sign. Still got to interpret it though, even if it seems very straightforward.

I would love to hear you guys’ experiences with her! Dua Bast 🐈‍⬛

May not be able to celebrate the full moon as I wanted, so frustrated (+ advice for approaching Sekhmet)

Today, as i said in an earlier post, i wanted to celebrate Khonsu for the new moon for the first time, and i was really looking forward to it.

For conext, i live in the South west part of France, and maybe you guys heard about the massive wildfire happening in my area currently. I am not in direct danger because im still a few kilometers from the fire, but depending on the direction of the wind, we can get really toxic smokes. For about 3 days the conditions were perfect and i didn’t get any fumes, but i just learned that the wind had turned, and the smokes are coming our way again, i can’t go out for the air is really toxic.

I am so frustrated as i wanted to spend time in the moon light meditating, connecting with Khonsu and making moonwater.

I don’t really need advice i feel, but i just really wanted to get this off my chest because i prepared everything today and it feels really discouraging.

On the topic of the fires, i wondered i i could try to reach out to Sekhmet to help us through those tough times, but i don’t really know how to approach her. I just know ive been feeling a pull towards her for quite some time now.

Thank you for reading my rant haha

Offering for Khepri

I had an itch to draw this gorgeous beetle scarab as an offering for Khepri, and i am soo proud of myself!!

I love making art but for years ive stopped because of burnout mostly, but I feel like the Netjeru are pushing me to continue, knowing i love it and it makes me feel so good. Also probably as a way to better myself maybe?

Also im not used AT ALL to color. I mostly do monochromatic art and doing such precise coloring is not something i do ever, i am usually scared to try. But here i find it so good, so proud.

Dua Khepri ☀️🪲

What can i do for the new moon?

Tomorrow is the FULL(i just noticed help 😭😭😭) moon, and as it is approaching i feel really drawn to Khonsu. I would love to do something for him on this occasion to thank him for his light and for watching over me at night during this period of time, as i can see him from my window.

I am also a Gaian so every full moon and new moon i try to fast for at least one meal, but i would like to add a ritual for Khonsu, so i would love some advice from his followers!!

My altar for Anpu

Here is my altar! It’s on the smaller side, but I really like it, and it makes me feel more connected to him! I change it up regularly, and i already know i want to go thrifting to find a better plate/other (would like something black or gold, i think it would be more suitable for him!)

I would love to hear what you guys think!
