Ausir Mysteries – Sometimes You Need Some Dough! Again, the jar is full of sprouts. You can see the green grassy leaves. We take a few. I’m going to take a few of the sprouts to put in a whole wheat bread. You don’t want to use too many, or it will throw off the…

DIY Ausir Mystery (Bast too!) Part 4
Ausir Mysteries – A New Hope More sprouts! When will it end? If you remember, in our last installment, I’d removed about half the sprouts. The next day the jar is fuller than before! Is one of you sneaking in more sprouts? More sprouts out of the jar for an offering salad. I’m taking more…

Ausir Mysteries – The Two Sprouts Day three. Way, way too many sprouts. It’s aliiiiive! As you can see, our little pile of wheat has grown. You can also see the roots, even at this distance. You can clearly see the roots. I took about half the sprouts out of the jar for the Bast…
DIY Ausir Mystery (Bast too!) Part 2
Ausir Mysteries – The Saga Continues… Twelve to twenty-four hours later we pour out the water and take a look at our wheat. Kamut Grains, with rootlets!

DIY Ausir Mystery (Bast too!) Part 1
Osiris, Ausir, Wesir…. The Green Guy For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, our planting season isn’t in synch with the calendar of ancient Egypt. By the time November rolls around it’s way too late to plant anything. And many people don’t have the space for a garden anyway. How do we celebrate the…
Kemetic Orthodox – Aset Luminous Dua
Aset Luminous! This is the Kemetic Orthodox holiday that is based on the Edfu calendar festival of “Aset the Bright.” This particular one took place on the evening of July 6.

Kemetic Orthodox Dua- Beautiful Reunion
On June 22nd, the Kemetic Orthodox group celebrated the Feast of the Beautiful Reunion. In the original festival, the statue of Hethert took a 100-mile, four-day boat journey from Dendera to Edfu, to be reunited with Heru-Behdety. Descriptions of the historic processions are here and here. Beautiful Reunion Dua Music is one of Hethert’s spheres,…
Kemetic Orthodox Dua- Tepy-Semdet (Full Moon Festival)
Tepy-Semdet Offering Table The evening of June 15, the House of Netjer held one of their online Duas, via IRC chat. I enjoy these, even though they’re done remotely as text-only.

The written job offer has finally come through and been accepted! Previous Breakfast Offering Mummy Case and Roses. Rookwood Vase.

Wepwawet / Djehuty project, after the Festival
And the bribes continue. My friend has been getting very good news, hearing that they were very impressed in the interview. Final confirmation is the last stage of the actual petitioning process, and we’re still working on that. Unbalanced Offering? If it looks a bit unbalanced, it is! I took the photos after reversion, and…
