Khnum is a cheerleader

thetwistedrope:

So have some medicated ramblings because why the fuck not.

So Khnum, I think he’d make a great pick for self-care and shadow work. He’s got a lot of ties to transformation and keeping your nice and healthy, and he’s probably less pushy than Big Red.

I was looking through henadology, and here’s some crap I found:

Khnum’s
role of fashioner of the bodily form was not completed once and for all
before birth, but continued throughout life.

this makes sense to me
for spoonies, because you’re never really
“done”. self-care is a life-long process that has to be done on the
regular in order to stay functional. Seems you could always ask him to
help “refashion” you if you needed help improving your self-care
routine. And shadow work often refashions you in multiple ways.

“I
am Khnum, your maker! My arms are around you, to steady your body, to
safeguard your limbs,” (p. 98 in Lichtheim, vol. 3)

like what a champ.
the best cheerleader you ever saw. someone should draw that. and it seems like he’s more about being supportive when you need it, instead of yelling or getting frustrated like some other gods i know

an appeal by the deceased to his/her heart, the heart is called “the Khnum who prospers my limbs.” 

make your limbs prosper, man. make your ib prosper.

Khnum
was also responsible for simple physical beauty

aww man go ask him to
help see yourself as being more beautiful, or finding comfort in your
own skin/form.
