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! The grains are starting to get tiny rootlets- the little white protuberances at one end. Kamut after soaking. You can see that the grain takes up a lot…

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…
Ma’at 0.1
I’ve been thinking of doing some posts about Ma’at. Ma’at But that’s a bit further down the road. However, I thought I’d pass along a couple things I have said recently on some of the Kemetic forums. …Well, as long as you’re still metabolizing, it’s never too late to start living in Ma’at. I also…
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. I hadn’t had any interaction with Aset, especially since she has a bit of a “reputation” amongst people who aren’t devotees. But I’ve decided…
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. Knowing that other people around the globe are doing the same chat ritual makes it a lot more interesting and adds some power. This…
Nekhtet! Nekhtet! Nekhtet!
The written job offer has finally come through and been accepted! Previous Breakfast Offering Mummy Case and Roses. Rookwood Vase. Now we will need to plan thank-you duas for Wepwawet and Djehuty, so there are more Skype rituals to be done. I’ll also see if I can persuade my friend to do a guest blog…
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…
Festival of Wepwawet
I subscribe to Neos Alexandria. It’s an interesting group- Kemetic, Greek, and Roman Reconstructionists, sharing information and publishing devotional books. They also send out calendar information. They listed the following for June 8th: Festival of Wepwawet:This modern Egyptian festival was converted to the Egyptian calendar on 8 Epiphi. Process with an image of Wepwawet or…
If not a shrine, then ???
Today, doing my ritual, it occurred to me that I’m not really operating a shrine right now. No images, and it’s really a big open invitation. It’s an offering table, right? If I had any blue tropical water lilies growing right now, I would have thrown them on top, and it would have been completely…
