Neferw Netjeru

I’m Kemetic, mainly a devotee of Nut, Nefertum, and Ptah. there are other Netjeru i worship, but They are the main three.

I wanted a place to share some of my less personal works of art and devotional hymns that i’ve written, so i made this blog! i’m looking forward to being more active in the kemetic community 😁 feel free to talk to me, i love discussing the Gods and philosophy, some of my biggest areas of study are Ptahhotep and cosmology, the ontology, cosmography, and etymology of Nut, as well as general ancient Egyptian culture and architecture with a specific focus on the OK, Predynastic, and Early Dynastic. so if you have questions or just want to talk i am usually free 💛

thank you for reading!

Recreating the Leiden Lyre, one of the few archaeological remains of an ancient Egyptian lyre found in Thebes. Crafted by the Luthieros at SEIKILO in Thessaloniki, Greece, for the further creation of Egyptian hymns and songs that we’ve been creating. I’m incredibly grateful to the Luthieros for taking on this project in practical charity towards my work in recreating ancient Egyptian music. They’ve been so kind, supportive, and generous throughout the process, and I couldn’t ask for more beautiful craftsmanship.

Nut’s hymn was so difficult for me to write and to find a melody for. She is so all-encompassing that it is impossible to contain all Her wonders, beauty, and awe in one simple hymn. So I tried to make this hymn less about the singer praising Her, less about the singer at all, and more about all Her wonderful aspects.

the melody was very difficult to nail because She has these traits of joy and almost childishness and innocence—at the same time being an all-pervading force of creation, reconstitution, and resurrection. so attempting to mix “joyous and jumping” with “somber Creatrix” was trying.

A hymn for Ptah in Middle Egyptian!
