#kemetic practice

how have ancient egyptian beliefs shaped or changed your values?

and i’ll admit, i’ve been out of touch with everything lately and i wanted to see what other kemetics might answer.

How do you do that though, you may ask.

I'd start first with a solemn approach

Always I approach with respect and dignity, I imagine my soul walking into a Temple of Ancient Egypt, with my eyes down in the floor

submission you know

If I am outside and do this to the sun, I always kowtow to the sun

That is, to kneel so low, your head touches the ground

It's actually a bit of a yoga exercise

either way, In my prayer position, which should be comfortable

you close your eyes and really try to in mind transport yourself to a setting where you can encounter the deities. A temple, a forest, an oasis of the mind

really since it is in your headspace, you can make it look like whatever

making it look believable though I think helps in the experience

The gods will fill the details in for you

and from there you can do all what you want, which should be showing fealty

feelling their presence

and submitting yourself to their glory

It is frankly, 7/10 times mostly theatre, and the gods know that, but it really helps, in my case, with calm

It makes me calm, makes me feel closer to the gods, and it helps with my insomnia

the gods may do something like hold a wing around you, or keep you close in an embrace

and you just let them

and you really feel how they pat and snuggle you

My Father, the King, the Primordial Sun! May all give You praise on Your day!

Mostly for my own record/reminder, to both do ma'at, and that i have done some, however small. Feel free to add your own. Make this post an offering shrine. 

I tried a new thing in my Offering recently, it was a very enjoyable and pleasant experience to do it, actually! After doing my usual routine of lighting candles, opening up the offering box where i keep money, etc. etc; when the time came to Revert the Offerings i got the idea on my mind

Normally I just say something formal to Anubis and then eat the offerings, but after getting the idea I took the bread I was offering and began thinking and talking to Him about how the bread was made, how long did it took to make it, the process it undertook, all the people who took part of it, the role bread has had througout History and the such while I ate it, I quite enjoyed it and made my practice more diverse, and I am sure Anubis liked it as well
