In discussions of modern Kemetic mythology, Moomas, and Jackal’s Eve, the legend of Santa Min was born. Devo has created a post about him, with a special altar. As she says, “This post may not be safe for those under 18. Some images are NSFW.” (Not Suitable For Work), so keep that in mind. thetwistedrope:…

Shrine Beautiful! (Offering for Wenut)
I’ve started a second website/blog called shrinebeautiful.com, Enspiring, Enchanting Sacred Spaces- Altars and Shrines from Many Pagan Paths. Its goal is to go beyond being a photo collection, have people discuss the “why” and “how,” and categorize each shrine by path(s), with links to pages with more information. Why Shrine Beautiful? The neo-pagan* world is wonderfully diverse….
Link – Amazing Offering idea!
In ancient Egypt, there was a well-established principle that a replica of something could be a magical stand-in for the real item. Tombs contained miniature houses and boats. Even servants- the ushabti, of course. In temples, the same principle applied. Menu lists of offerings, magically activated, could substitute for real ones if necessary. Important symbolic…

DIY Ausir Mystery (Bast too!) Part 6
Ausir Mysteries – The Final Chapter? The Offering Bread is Baked! At last! Here’s the loaf. The top sunk a tiny bit, an indication that there was too much liquid, but at least it didn’t collapse. That’s a common problem when you’re adding ingredients with a liquid component. It might have helped if I had…
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…
Interview Day!
Only subtle differences in the layout, but the ritual was quite different. Since this was a critical day, I decided to adapt the Djehuty ritual from Reidy’s Eternal Egypt. This was quite a jump from the simpler rituals I’ve been doing. The Christian equivalent might be going from “Now I lay me down to sleep”…
The Bribes Continue!
Yet another Wepwawet / Dhehuty offering in support of a friend. I promise I’ll get off the shrine eye-candy and back to more substantive topics soon. Though it is fun to show off! Peonies from the garden. Wonderfully fragrant! Is the bud for Zep Tepi? You can see the incense rising above the flowers. The…
Putting On The Dog…
Jackal (sAb), actually. I decided to do a nice big bribe offering to Wepwawet to help a friend. The lilacs were gone, but some other flowers were blooming. Offerings consisted of blackberry whitbeer, blackberry yoghurt, four oil lamps, frankincense, myrrh, amber, and sandalwood incense, cool water, amaretto, rum, coffee liquor, whole wheat bread I made…
A fancier shrine- Inviting Bast Over
The lilacs were blooming, so I decided it was a good time to offer some on my shrine. I dedicated them to Bast. I’ve decided to use my Japanese ceramics in my shrine. That way I get to see them a lot more often. The shrine cloth was a surprise gift from a friend. The…
