The Hermit

Random thought - If getting into the Egyptian afterlife really is about how heavy your heart is weighted down by guilt and psychopaths don’t feel guilt - doesn’t that mean Osiris and the rest of the Egyptian pantheon are hanging around serial killers?

Read the myth of prince Setna and his son Sa-Osiri: there’s exact description of HOW the weighting is done. http://ib205.tripod.com/setne_2.html You will see very detailed description of egyptian afterlife, without extra glamour. You may especially notice some things: They entered the seventh hall, and Setne saw the mysterious form of Osiris, the great god, seated on his throne of fine gold, crowned with the atef-crown. Anubis, the great god, was on his left, the great god Thoth was on his right, and the gods of the tribunal of the inhabitants of the netherworld stood on his left and right. The balance stood in the center before them, and they weighed the good deeds against the misdeeds, Thoth, the great god, writing, while Anubis gave the information to his colleague.He who would be found to have more misdeeds than good deeds [is handed over] to the Devourer, who belongs to the lord of the netherworld. His ba is destroyed together with his body, and he is not allowed to breathe ever again.He who would be found to have more good deeds than misdeeds is taken in among the gods of the tribunal of the lord of the netherworld, while his ba goes to the sky together with the august spirits.He who would be found to have good deeds equal to his misdeeds is taken in among the excellent spirits who serve Sokar-Osiris. […] - But, not everyone, who did mode bad things than good things, is sent to be eaten by Ammit. Some of the souls are being sent to “imprisonment in the Netherworld”, where they experience punishment (you will see that on the example of the rich man in the story) “Take it to your heart, my father Setne: He who is beneficent on earth, to him one is beneficent in the netherworld. And he who is evil, to him one is evil. It is so decreed [and will remain so] for ever. The things that you have seen in the netherworld at Memphis, they happen in the forty-two nomes [in which are the judges] of Osiris, the great god.”

Quality time spent with your deities isn’t always outbursts of emotional devotion and raw tears. Sometimes it’s sitting quietly together and letting Their presence calm your worried soul.

REBLOG IF YOU’RE A WITCH THAT THINKS IT’S MORE THAN OKAY TO PUNCH NAZIS

You are wrong af if you think fighting back with any means necessary against genocidal rhetoric is wrong. And doubly so if you think silence in the face of oppression isn’t some isfet shit.

Nazis advocate genocide. You better fucking believe that I am going to stand up and fight back against that evil. I’m a born and bred New Yorker, we don’t fucking play with that shit. My akhu were immigrants, and they would be furious if I didn’t stand up against such evil.

You are wrong af if you think fighting back with any means necessary against genocidal rhetoric is wrong. And doubly so if you think silence in the face of oppression isn’t some isfet shit.

as I’ve hopefully made clear through my earlier posts, I absolutely support punching nazis. Genocide is absolutely isfet, stopping genocide and therefore isfet is totally 100% ma’at, yes, even when it includes violence. We tear the snek of the poop to shreds when we get a chance, we support sehkmet and bast and ra destroying it, and we must do our part to stop its “footsoliders” or whatever other term works best for you to describe nazis. there’s nothing senseless about this battle, and if you think we’re “namecalling” then you really need to get some perspective on what nazis believe and do.
