During a therapeutic psychedelic experience I had while trying to stop drinking, this incredibly strong, loving feline presence appeared to me.

I kept calling her “Miss Kitty” because I had absolutely no context for what I was experiencing. She felt protective and maternal, but also very much like she was there to tell me to get my shit together. I felt her inside me, almost like my heartbeat had become a purr.

Afterward, I started searching for who or what I had experienced and found Bastet. I’ve felt deeply connected to her ever since.

I’d never painted before, but I felt compelled to make something for her and somehow put that experience into a physical form. So this is my first painting, and my thank you to Bastet for showing up when I needed her.

I hoped he like the macarona bechamel…traditional Egyptian food but was made in the 19th century. Also I like to mention how while I was praying for him, I got a sign that I’ve been waiting for and was praying about the situation like yesterday or the day before it after almost feeling helpless because I thought I was doing something wrong, I’d like to think that was one amazing sign from him as he heard my prayers.

Eek i’m so exited to celebrate this again.

I picked out varied things. His favourite- hot chocolate, donuts and sweets. With coconut yoghurt, honey and oats!

I’m planning on making him some homemade soup later on in the night- as it’s his favourite food, as in his cannibal myths , where he made bone soup 😂 ..

Dua Khonsu, my beloveddd 🥹🫶🏽

She’s always with me, always comfortable and affectionate, and her favorite place is right next to my desk space for Aset, beneath a screen-saver of Ma’at.

She could sit anywhere on a large desk, in a big room, but she chooses ‘that’ spot all the time!

I was in the car while making this so its kinda shaky lol!

I’ve been doing tons of commissions lately so in my free time I’ll teach myself new things to better my portfolio 🔭✨🌙💙
I would like to draw the neteru more often again honestly!

Aloha, Kemetic community! I just wanted to share some pics of the newest addition to my home shrine. This statue is so much bigger than I expected, honestly. I don’t know that I’m going to be able to put her on my shrine table unfortunately, as it kind of messes up the symmetry thing I have going on so this may be a good excuse for me to start a new little shrine somewhere in my home. Also, I am still deciding whether she is giving me Mut & Khonsu vibes (which I’m leaning towards, as Amun and Mut are my patron and matron deities) or Aset and Heru vibes. I think maybe once I handle the statue a little bit more, hopefully time will tell.

Opening her up was such a treat- especially since power has been out here on Hawaii Island since Saturday after hurricane Lāla rolled through.. So things have been a little rough around here. Prayers that power comes back on soon would be most welcome!

I live in a Muslim household, so I’d get cooked if my family finds out I’m in another religion as I’ve been secretly agnostic for the past few years until I found a connection to Kemetic Polytheism…I’m a 14-15 year old newbie who’s still learning so please be kind to give me tips! I’m working on my shrine but that’s all I have at the moment, it’s uhm..inside a Lindt box with deities Khonsu and Anput and I’m still going to put a few more things, I’m going to get the statues soon and I will be moving to a room where I don’t share it with my sibling so it would be easier for me to built up my shrine and much bigger, I really hope I don’t make them upset by what I am doing.

Hey everyone! Following up on my altar timeline, my Isis statue (by Ebros Gift / Pacific Giftware) finally arrived today. I ordered her back in late July off eBay after a bit of an emergency search—she was way too expensive on Amazon, but thankfully I managed to snag her on eBay for a much better price (around $70 USD / under 1,500 MXN). The details on the wings are even better in person. Really happy to add her as the next step for my altar. Dua Aset! Great Goddess of motherhood, magic, fertility, and protection. 𓏢

There is a bird here in Brazil called ‘Guará,’ a member of the Ibis family. It is also known as “Guará-pitanga” due to the color of its plumage. (‘Pitanga’ is a small, South American-endemic crimson fruit that closely resembles a cherry.) My mom used to call it “Do Sangue-d’Rá.” (Of Ra’s Blood.) Indigenous peoples used to make cloaks with their feathers. (I think they still do, but I’m not sure.) Anyway, thought it would be interesting to share a bit about it.

I found lotus flowers near a private pool in my city, and OFCOURSE I offered them to Bast.
Two of the things that I prioritize on my Bast altar is beauty and gracefulness like her energy 💗 Perfumes of course are part of her altar, I still use them daily and always in intention of wearing them in name of Bast.
The little bottle close to my perfumes is gold dust, I use it for rituals but mostly for Bastet offerings.
Hope you like it it’s basically a year of working on my altar. Dua Bast 🫶✨🪷
