A MORNING HYMN TO KHNUM
from the temple of EsnaAwakenings of Khnum; say:
Wake well in peace, wake well in peace,
Khnum-Amun, the ancient,
Issued from Nun,
In peace, awake peaceably!Wake, lord of fields,
Great Khnum,
Who makes his domain in the meadow,
In peace, awake peaceably!Wake, lord of gods and men,
Lord of the war cry,
In peace, awake peaceably!Wake, mighty planner,
Great power in Egypt,
In peace, awake peaceably!Wake, lord of life,
Wooer of women,
To whom come gods and men as he bids,
In peace, awake peaceably!Wake, ram great of majesty,
Tall-plumed, sharp-horned,
In peace, awake peaceably!Wake, great lion,
Slayer of rebels,
In peace, awake peaceably!Wake, crocodile-king, Mighty victor,
Who conquers as he wishes,
In peace, awake peaceably!Wake, veiled-faced one,
Who shuts his eyes to his foes,
As he bears arms,
In peace, awake peaceably!Wake, leader of herdsmen,
Who grasps the stick,
Smites his attacker,
In peace, awake peaceably!Wake, great crocodile who says,
“Each of you shall slay his fellow,”
In peace awake, peaceably!Wake, Shu, strong-armed,
His father’s champion,
Slayer of rebels,
In peace, awake peaceably!Wake, fighting ram who chases his foes,
Herdsman of his followers,
In peace, awake peaceably!Wake, multiform one,
Who changes shape at will,
In peace, awake peaceably!Wake, Khnum who fashions as he wishes,
Who sets every man in his place!
Quoted from: Miriam Lichtheim – Ancient Egyptian literature, vol.III, p.110-111 (via intaier)
Do you remember?
Scaled and fire breathing you are, but do you remember?
The vines, the green.
The ancient waters?
Do you remember the churning sea of stars from which I have plucked your essence from?
I have made you, beloved.
I have breathed my breath into your lungs.
I have chosen your flesh and blood from the expanse.
I have given you life.
Do you remember?
Khnum, Who Exists at the Beginning (to me in his most recent visit)
1. It’s getting tougher, but you can do this. Now is the time to push through. Now is the time to really fight and show yourself you can do this. Because you can, and you will.
2. Don’t hide your books, put them on your desk where you can see them so you’ll be reminded that you need to study.
3. If you can’t study at home, pack your books and go to that cute coffee shop you like so much. Sit in a quiet corner, order some tea and finish that essay.
4. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Take care of yourself.
5. Make a study schedule and write down everything you have to do for each class.
6. Don’t panic. If you get overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you still need to study for, take a deep breath. There’s nothing you can’t do. Take a look at your schedule and write down what takes the most and least time to do and prioritize it.
7. If it feels like the school days are getting longer and your weekend seems to be getting shorter; make plans on school days to get you excited to get up in the morning. Make plans to go bowling or get some drinks with friends, do whatever makes you want to get out of bed. You don’t have to wait for the weekend.
8. Cramming a few days before a big test and getting sleep deprived is the absolute worst and so unnecessary. Take one or two hours each weekend to go over what you learned in class that week. By the time exams come around you’re prepared and well rested.
9. Everyone has an attention span of approximately 40 to 60 minutes. So push yourself harder sometimes and slow yourself down. Take breaks when needed, be realistic.
10. Don’t just look at all the work that’s still ahead of you. Take some time to celebrate the things you never thought you’d finish, but did. The boring essays, horrible presentations, difficult exams. You survived all of it and you’ll survive this too. I’m proud of you, and so should you. Keep it up, baby.

Khnum, Who Exists at the Beginning (to me in his most recent visit)
Take one step towards the gods and they will take ten steps towards you.
Mythologist Joseph Campbell (via bee-girlfriends)
I feel awe of the gods, I love, I revere, I venerate them, and in short have precisely the same feelings towards them as one would have towards kind masters or teachers or fathers or guardians or any beings of that sort.
Julian the Philosopher, in “To the Cynic Heracleios"
(via honorthegods)
Stop apologizing. You don’t have to say sorry for how you laugh, how you dress, how you make your hair, how you speak. You don’t have to be sorry for being yourself. Do it fearlessly. It’s time to accept, this is you, and you gotta spend the rest of your life with you. So start loving your sarcasm, your awkwardness, your weirdness, your unique sense of humor, your everything. It will make your life so much easier to simply be yourself.
