Everything is Divine

The Return This piece was inspired by the recent return of the spotted hyena to Egypt after 5,000 years, driven by climate change and shifting ecosystems. An animal long absent appears again. Not as something symbolic or old, but as a real presence that forces a new way of looking and understanding.

The snakes radiating from the sun represent cycles of hunger, drought, death, and renewal. The blood falling from above is both sacrifice and nourishment, a reminder that fertility and survival are inseparable from loss.

no wait that- no that's not- no.

Unles you've like, poured out ALL OF YOUR BLOOD, used it for a spell, and then somehow SIPHONED THE WHOLE THING BACK IN, that doesn't mean the blood on the inside of you is also used. And even then, if you'd had your sacrifical blood IV'd back into your body-

actually nevermind, I need to draw a graph to illustrate:

There is nothing wrong with leaving offerings on the naked earth.

When we die we are returned to the ground be it whole or as ash.

From the ground comes all our food, be it directly grown or eaten from to what else we eat.

There is nothing wrong with leaving offerings on leaves or stone, plates or trays but...

There is nothing wrong with laying them to the soil either.

statuette of thoth as ibis | c. 6th century BCE | egypt, late period

"The ibis is, along with the baboon, the sacred animal of the god Thoth...[the statuette's] body is made of wood covered with fine white plaster. Its head bearing the atef-crown, long neck, tail feathers and legs were all cast in silver. The ibis’ eyes, inlaid in black glass and stucco, seem to bring the creature to life."

Atum, God of creation and the evening sun.
