I’ve been writing about Jackal’s Eve, the fictional Kemetic holiday in which Wepwawet and Yinepu deliver gifts on the Night Before Moomas. Moomas is, of course, based on “The Establishment of the Celestial Cow,” which was a relatively unimportant holiday in ancient Egypt. The Rev. Siuda has written a blog entry about Moomas, which she…

Devo has just done an intro on making and activating your own amulets. Enjoy!
Monolatry, Syncretisicm, and the Theology of Booze.
How separate are the Netjeru? Do they all come from one source? Are they all just reflections of the One? What’s the difference between Monolatry and Henotheism? What about the whole Amun-Ra / Ra-Horakhty / Mut-Aset-Nekhbet Syncretic thing? These are questions that give Kemetics headaches! Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt by Erik Hornung is…
Link: Mistakes with Sekhmet!
My friend Veggiewolf posted To Err is (Human) Divine on her Fluid Morality blog, talking about mistakes she’s made, including ones with Sekhmet. I was lucky. I jumped straight into Kemeticism without flailing around too much with other things. A friend helped me get started, so I benefited from all her research and understanding. I also tend to…

SatSekhem has done an update on this subject: Fallow Isn’t Just About Fields and Dreams (PBP). A must-read.
Dry Spells (Kemetic Roundtable #02a)
Dry spells. The Fallow Times. Times when you have absolutely no contact with gods or goddesses. You don’t often hear about them unless you really dig in some of the forums. Why? They’re not that interesting to talk about. “I got nothing today” isn’t worth posting on a forum. It’s even too dull to use…
Link: Hoeing Onions
Kiya (Darkhawk on eCauldron) writes some of the most thought-provoking Kemetic articles on the net. “Onion Hoer” has been her term for someone who is practicing the faith, but isn’t a priest in the “professional, working in the state-sponsored temple” sense. A layperson, if you will. Hoeing Onions (For Bast, Or Otherwise) is one of her latest…
Link: The Case for Love.
Was there unconditional love in ancient Egypt? My friend Devo wrote another excellent post, this time on the existence of Unconditional Love in ancient Egypt, and how it can relate to our lives today. The Case for Love – The Twisted Rope.
