I venture forth into the unknown of the night, unsure and unaware of where I must go. I call to you, Wepset, the light in the darkness. I call to you, great of voice. I seek you to guide me, to light up the path as I try to find the path. Aid me as I seek you out, Great Wepset. Protect me as I go on, fighting off any evil that may steer me away from finding the sun, once more. Give me hope that the day will begin again, that the night will fall away. Fuel me with your flame, set it forth before my eyes that not all is lost in the night.

So I was mowing the lawn after a metric shitton of rain so the grass was high. I’m mowing and I see this thing rush in front of me. I shout “oh shit” and turn off the mower. Turns out it was a garter snake. I tried to get him to move naturally to another spot, but after a while of him attempting to ignore me, I got a bucket off of my porch and put him in there. At first I tried to get him to slither into it, but he wouldn’t (can’t say I blame him). This was actually the only time he snapped at me! Of course I can’t blame him, so I grabbed him by his tail and put him in the bucket. I then rushed him to the forest behind my yard and he slithered on into it. Of course I was looking for snakes the rest of the time I mowed. Could this be a sign from a god? I worship both of kebechet’s parents so maybe she feels left out? Maybe it’s another one? I know it’s not h/im because I didn’t get any bad vibes from him

Another experience happened before I became kemetic. I was with my ex friend at the dog park, and I saw this beautiful black dog with one white spot on its chest. I tried to pet it but it kept running away. After a while I gave up because if the dog didn’t want pets then he didn’t want them ya know? It was only recently I figured out it was one of my gods, I’m still not sure if it was Anubis or anupet, but nonetheless I appreciated their visit

Great Wepset, Goddess of the fire spitting cobra, burn my enemies to the ground!

Burn, Great of Fire!

Burn, Mistress of Flame!

Burn, Lady of Burning!

Destroy what no longer needs to be. Cut up those who have wronged me, for I am Re, your father. Demolish the cruelty that lies behind me and by my feet. They are nothing to your flame! You are the Blazing One, the one who burns hotter than ten thousand suns. Turn them to dust and ashes under your heed. Spit venom into their faces, let them squirm and wither under your poison as it burns through their veins. Let them suffer as they thought to do to me.

Protect me, for you are under my command. Protect me from what threatens the harmony of maat. Let the day rise again; let the sun shine brilliantly with no enemies in sight. The sun does not blaze for them on this day, for you’ve killed them in the night.

Great Wepset, the fiery serpent who vanquishes all evil in the night, light up the earth so nothing can hide in the shadows. Spit out your flames and punish the wrongdoers! Purify the wicked in the Island of Fire.

Information

Wepset is the personification of the uraeus cobra that protected the pharaohs. According to one version of the mythos, Wepset is the Eye that Re plucks out of his head to find his children- Tefnut and Shu- in the primordial darkness. Wepset is the burning one who illuminates the Duat in the first hour of the night and the one who helps vanquish evil by slaying Apophis.

Close your eyes and clear your mind. Set your intention in mind as you call forth this goddess. Know that when you speak her name, it is her that you are inviting into your space. Take a deep breath and begin when you’re ready to. Speak clearly- it doesn’t need to be loud, it doesn’t need to be quiet. Just enunciate your words as you call her into your space

Offerings are appreciated, and a greater incentive for her to show- you may leave an athame, a knife, meat, bread, water, wine, etc. Do what feels right for you. Incense, candles, essential oils, or perfumes are encouraged- if you cannot light candles or you have scent sensitivities, you may use an electric/battery powered candle and that’s a perfectly fine replacement. (Frankincense, myrrh, and kyphi are great)

Feel free to mess around and make your own invocations! Take what you want from here and make your own! She doesn’t have a lot of recorded epithets, which makes things a bit tricky, but you can make up your own or borrow epithets from other goddesses who have similar roles (which is what I have done here). All you have to do is just use her name and some epithets, run with the rest if you wish to!

Hoho I sent for Hector it's only logical you send for Aziza

Aziza, whose real name is Wepset, is the youngest daughter of Ra. And since most biggest most important functions were already given to all her older siblings, she always felt left out and as overlooked as she is in the myths. Which was both a weakness making her feel lonely in such a huge or family and free since she is given more freedom, as seen in modern times now she lives along mortals

Being a snake goddess, she doesn't need to chew things when she eats, her neck being very flexible, so she has to always force herself to as Aziza not to have anyone panic, especially her husband. She does make huge "gulps" with huge pieces and mouthfuls which impress him, though
