I decided to do a little ritual and cast some blessings on some bundles for my distant friends to burn and waft over themselves. The four of them have struggled with transitioning, and ive been very lucky.

Very very roughened setup but I hope to do more in the future. I used a rose scented candle, some lavender essential oil spray, and honey as offerings.

Hello everyone! So a week or so ago I posted about wanting to delve into kemetism and I’m glad to say I’m doing it!

My altar is going along pretty okay for starters, I think- I’m working on a drawn piece depicting the Netjeru (or at least the ones that I’ve found I have connected to from just opening up) so that I can have a little bit of everyone but, my main connection is with Bastet.

I was wondering if you guys know where I can learn a little more about flowers that some of the Netjer preferred/were connected to so that I can bring about a little bit of life to my altar. I currently have a glass lotus that I seat next to my crystals but would like small plants I can dedicate and maybe care for in respect to them.

If for some reason this isn’t advised, please feel free to also educate me on it! I’m just starting off so I’m more than happy to hear your suggestions/thoughts.

While I’m not sure if they are beneficial truly (maybe input on opinions) I’ve been drawn to do this for a long time that I put off but did earlier this year.

Is it wrong to pray/work/call upon a deity for a certain thing but then not work with them outside of that thing? For example, if you are dealing with grief and pray to Nephthys for aid, but you don't communicate with her outside of the aid with grief aspect, just speaking to her when it relates to her domain.

Can that come off as rude or selfish? Should you always have a relationship with the gods before randomly prayer and asking for help?

I'd really love to make a rosery to keep the netjeru on my mind at all times and allow me to work on daily praise. What are some good prayers? Should I take them from the book of the dead or make them up? Anyone who does something similar what do you do?

I was searching for Egyptian gods of wealth because I’m in need of money right now, but my main goddess Hathor reached out to say that I should consult her for those issues.

I was confused because she’s the goddess of love, but she said since we have a strong connection she’d be the best to help me out in lots of things

I feel like this isn't true at all, can anyone tell me how I could say my name then?

I sometimes do it, after all the Netjeru is all here for us and they love us and guide us. Yesterday the sun shines through my window, the sunlight was all over my room so I just thought yeah why not, I layed down on the floor to sunbathe and I had a small talk with Ra. It was nice, I felt a lot of positive and calming energy. ☀️

Hi all,

I need to give thanks to Sekhmet for curing me of a serious illness earlier in the year, but I've heard She can be very strict and likes Her prayers and offerings to be very formal.

I'm currently experiencing a severe anxiety problem and my mental health is in ruins, so the idea of approaching Sekhmet intimidates me a lot.

So I wanted to ask, what would be an acceptable way to properly thank Sekhmet for Her help with my illness, in such a way that would be manageable to someone who doesn't have the resources, setup or mental fortitude to do something very formal?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I have been thinking the same for many months and wonder if Gods appreciate that. Also I found a photo on the internet that shows Ancient Egyptians were obsessed with makeup

I guarantee you I've tried to pronounce this at least once in real life and probably made a complete fool of myself-

(text-to-speech IPA pronounciations dont really help so if you could link a video or spell out the pronounciation?)

Well this was written by Miyazawa Kenji, it's called Be not defeated by the rain", but when I read it, I have a strong connection with what Netjeru teaches me, and with the path I chose many years ago, thanks to them. I feel like I want to share it here and dedicate to a deity who guides me (I have written my own poems as well, but they are personal). So, this is the poem:

Be not defeated by the rain, Nor let the wind prove your better. Succumb not to the snows of winter. Nor be bested by the heat of summer.

Be strong in body. Unfettered by desire. Not enticed to anger. Cultivate a quiet joy. Count yourself last in everything. Put others before you. Watch well and listen closely. Hold the learned lessons dear.

A thatch-roof house, in a meadow, nestled in a pine grove's shade.

A handful of rice, some miso, and a few vegetables to suffice for the day.

If, to the East, a child lies sick: Go forth and nurse him to health. If, to the West, an old lady stands exhausted: Go forth, and relieve her of burden. If, to the South, a man lies dying: Go forth with words of courage to dispel his fear. If, to the North, an argument or fight ensues: Go forth and beg them stop such a waste of effort and of spirit.

In times of drought, shed tears of sympathy. In summers cold, walk in concern and empathy.

Stand aloof of the unknowing masses: Better dismissed as useless than flattered as a «Great Man».

This is my goal, the person I strive to become.

With me being a geek (my opening to explore kemetics started way back with Stargate) I wanted y'alls opinions on the character Sutekh the God of death in Doctor Who. Personally besides the name I see the character as a completely different idea and being that is purely fictional. It's cool but has nothing to do with the real gods.

Same as title

Hello! I am in the process of finding an apartment to live. I'm moving out of my parents house and going to live wiith my sister, so we need an apartment for both of us. I thought about asking for some godly help but don’t know who to ask, any advice?

My father is having surgery right now for complications due to cancer. I've been dedicating Hymns and also planning to pray more personally. Will you also join me in this prayer? Dua Sekhmet!

i set osiris up an alter for the holiday coming up and there was space for another next to it and i was thinking of maybe putting anubis there but then as i finished and went to put another my partner’s ring broke DIRECTLY in half and i think it mightve been a sign to set isis up one (due to other things too)

so i have a ramune drink i like to have after school each day but today i was doing something and accidentally placed the open bottle on my altar...remembered about it 15 minutes later and went to grab it while apologizing for using his altar as a table. long story short he liked it a lot and i had to grab a new bottle! XD

How do you guys feel about the written relationships between the gods, whether lovers or rivals, and everything in between? Do you think there is some truth to them? Or maybe, after thousands of years, these connections have changed over time.
Im willing to hear all answers!

What does the flame mean? It’s standing still.

I meet many people who openly discuss gods and want to attract as many followers as possible to worship their gods too. Sometimes they even get angry if they don't succeed and if people prefer to worship other gods instead.

But for me it’s quite the opposite... I feel very strong love, and I'm very jealous of the deity. I am eternally grateful to him for everything I have in my life now, but it so happens that I am beginning to be very jealous of him towards other people. And... Somehow I just let it be.

This art gallery has genuine pieces of ancient Egyptian jewelry, talisman, amulets, statues. Of course, can be very expensive but they have sales often. They are having a sale for Halloween for 15% off and I just wanted to share with this community. :)

What type of magic is allowed is kemet? Things like luck and protection and love or something that I haven't stumbled across yet??? I am really really new to all of this i don't know where to start even does anyone have experience with casting in kemet?

One of the main things that made me feel at home in this religion is how mutual my relationship with the Netjeru has felt from the very start. I felt Bastet's presence in my life before I even knew Her name, and She continues to assure me of Her presence even when it's been a while since we last spoke. I don't ask a lot of the Netjeru, but each time I have my prayer has been promptly answered. There's something so special about feeling truly heard, and feeling certain that you matter as much to Them as They do to you.

I've heard other people share similar experiences, so I assumed that this was how everyone experienced the Netjeru and ancient pantheons as a whole. However, browsing this sub has shown me otherwise. So, I wanted to ask how you all experience the Netjeru. Is your relationship like mine, or is it different? How do you know that They're there? How do you hear Them, and how do They hear you?
