Kemetism is explaining to your friends that the God of storms and chaos got punk’d by eating lettuce bukkake.
or as I like to call it, “the story of how salad dressing was invented”
Hahaha! Incredible.

Sometimes we reject ourselves when we have been rejected by others in the past. It may have been from our friends, family, or complete strangers. However, this does not give us the right to treat ourselves negatively. In fact, it only emphasizes how much we should be making a point of nurturing our pain. What have you done for yourself today? How have you taken care? What can you continue to do to nurture both your body and soul?

Some of my favorite epithets:
- The great physician/doctor
- Who never sleeps
Who passes/moves through purely
Who provides for the body with the work of his hands
The Lord of the hidden things
Who puts his hand on he who is in the coffin
– He who lets rest the corpses of the ones who are in the earth
Who is forever on his hill
- Who creates eternity
The Lord of Life
The Great one in the Duat
Who gives his arms at the entrance of the cave
The Lord of his Laboratory
The Lord of the hidden chamber
The Ruler of the Beautiful West
- The magnificent jackal
Who announces the way
The strong armed one with a knife behind his enemies
He with tremendous force
The Lord of Knives
Who causes his enemies to fall
Who puts an end to the one who arranges mischief
The perfect protector
Who watches over his father
The highest one of the court of justice of the thirty
Who is over the secret
He with skillful arms
Whose work it is to revive the dead bodies
Who satisfies his heart with what he loves
Can you link any of these?

Crazy how personal growth can make you let go of people you swore you couldn’t live without.
a friendly, gentle reminder, if you need it, or if you’re feeling unsure:
the gods want to be worshipped. they grant us many things and return, we open ourselves to them and give in return. the gods want to be worshipped. even the smallest offering, the smallest prayer, the smallest act of devotion, when given with reverence and love is just as good and deserving as a large and elaborate ritual. the gods want to be worshipped. they want to hear your voice singing them a hymn, reciting them a poem, saying a few words of gratitude and praise.
if you’re feeling unsure, unworthy, or undeserving, it’s alright. we all feel that way. but give anyway. even if it’s small, even if you don’t think it’s good enough, give. give with all your heart, with all of the love that brings you to them in the first place.
all you need to do is the best you can. they will understand. they know what’s in your heart.
that’s enough. what you can do is enough.
you are not unworthy.
Reblog if you’ve gotten out of practice with your deities – got distracted or didn’t have time or just plain old were too tired to make the effort.
Your deities will still be there when you reach out for them. You may need to make amends, depending on personal practices, but humans are still human and make mistakes.
You got this.
Homage to Ra
Homage to You, my Lord Ra! Lord of The Day, Lord of The Night.
Glorious You are, who is Ra-Khepri In The Morning, who is Ra-Horakhty in The Afternoon, who is Ra-Atum In The Evening.
Glory to You my Lord Ra, Lord of Lords, God of Gods, Ruler of Rulers, King of Kings, Pharaoh of Pharaohs, The Great Sovereign of Egypt! Your Suzerainty extends to the ends of the Horizon.
Great is Your Presence! August is Your Existence! Lord of The Sun, Lord of the Morning Light, Lord of The Midday Flare, Lord of The Evening Glow!
Your Majesty shines upon Your people, Your Divinity glows upon the Netjeru, Your Righteousness established upon Ma’at, Unshakable, Incorruptible, You are the Foundation of Justice and Mercy in the world.
You have created the four winds so that every person might breathe in his own time and place.
You have created the great flood so that the humble might benefit from it like the great.
You have made every person like their fellow and did not command them to do evil.
You have made the hearts of the people so that they would not forget the Afterlife, and that the sacred offerings are made to the Netjeru.
You have fashioned the World, you have created the Netjeru, You have made the People, You have established Ma’at.
In Your Greatness and Glory, In Your Brilliance and Majesty, I Praise Your Exalted Names to the Sky, so that the Sun may shine upon Them! So that others may hear Them.

when all else fails, your gods will be there
The Gods have been holding my hand.
The Gods have been steadying my gaze.
The Gods have been lighting my path.
The Gods have been holding me upright.
The Gods have been keeping me alive.
Anubis has such a calming presence. ❤
