The significance of Seth in the Osiris myth may, I think, be summarised as follows. Seth is he who opposes the order of life and death by murdering Osiris, who had to die. The Egyptians have hardly mentioned the motives of his act. Occasionally it is related that Seth excused himself by saying that Osiris had come too near to him and had defied him.

Usually no activities towards Seth are ascribed to Osiris; he is essentially a passive god. Precisely this passivity, however, might be a defiance for Seth.

Perhaps the Pyramid text mentioned above might be understood as signifying that Osiris had appeared to his brother Seth as the god whose essence is death and as he who must die, and that it was this which aroused the aversion and aggression of Seth, whose unbridled zest for life clashes with passivity.

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.

Sometimes the gods influence what you like. You know that stuff where you really like or love it and you don’t know why but it’s so amazing to you and not just because it’s beautiful? Sometimes that stuff is actually associated with gods in some way. Certain flowers might be associated with them or even certain symbology or objects. You’ll find that gods leave clues like that throughout your whole life. Later on you find out this information and it’s mind blowing because it feels like they were watching you the whole time.

Know the world in yourself. Never look for yourself in the world, for this would be to project your illusion.

“In spite of this imperfection, the creator was said to have done many things to help humanity. In Coffin Texts 1130, the Lord of All describes his four good
deeds. These were to create the four winds to give the breath of life to every
body, to make the annual Nile flood so that everyone would get enough food, to create everyone with equal potential, and to make every person’s heart “re-
member the West.” This last deed implies that from the beginning humans
were destined for an eternal life in the Beautiful West, the realm of the dead.”

Just my thoughts on some parts of it. I didn’t include the Cannibal Hymn here, because it’s long-ish and pretty much it’s own thing.

And let’s start with…

Utterance 171
Osiris Unas, hey! Existence is for you, and with you, with you!
Offering.

(I really like this one)

Here’s to new beginnings, to chaos and change. Here’s to rushing headfirst into the unexplored. Here’s to your excitement about all you will learn. Here’s to new experiences. Here’s to the sky and the universe and the vastness of your mind. 

Reblogging this now, on the verge of a new year, seems appropriate. Even in the darkest times, do not lose sight of hope ❤
