Wednesday Egypt Fun Fact

In ancient Egypt, jewellery wasn't worn purely for decoration - the purpose of jewellery was specifically to provide the owner with magical protection, good luck, and health. Through sympathetic magic, jewellery was believed to attract benign forces that would protect the wearer. This doesn't mean every piece of jewellery was an amulet or contained one: specific materials also had specific magical properties, especially with regards to colour. Gold, lapis, carnelian, feldspar, faience, amethyst and turquoise, to name a few, all had their own religious and protective connotations and were thus popular in use.

Heya Leone! Hope you’ve been having a good (or survivable) week so far! Here’s two questions that have been on my mind for quite some time:

We know that Aretas and Laverna get a good stream of admirers, but how’s it look for the rest of the ROs? Do people tend to get crushes on/court them often? 🤔

Shoutout to Amatus for gracefully gifting his Ducklings the gift of Being Hot by simply growing up near him btw

Thank you, I've been preoccupied with staying warm, but I can't complain!

Okay this is a cool question, let's see:

Sarai:

(Some have tried to get with her and very few have lived to tell the tale.)

When Aretas was young, many nobles wanted to approach and control a young, politically vulnerable widow. They did not succeed. Now people at court are either too resentful of her power or too afraid to risk the ire of the Aretas to try anything. Still, she has many admires who still appreciate a beautiful woman. She gets love letters, gifts, and marriage proposal's from other kingdoms.

Sutek:

(If he wanted to, he could be getting busy on the regular and have a whole family.)

In the Jackal territory and other parts of Lower Cusmo, he's viewed as a catch. Idir wishes that Sutek would take advantage of his position as guild leader and followed his example, but Sutek keeps mostly to himself. He rebuffs people's advances, assuming people feel obligated or have ulterior motives for approaching him, but he doesn't do it in a cruel way. Unfortunately for him, this only increases his appeal.

Desma:

(She's had some casual flings and broken several hearts because she's careless when it comes to people's feelings. Unless you're one of the ducklings.)

Her intense connection with the ducklings, especially if she has feelings for the MC, makes it hard for her to invest too heavily in other people on an emotional level. The Talons are her family/friends and a roll in the sheets is good fun. Any of the people in Cusmo that thought there could be something more usually found themselves with empty pockets, no palpata, and Desma's confusion about what else they expected.

Merikh:

(People have been interested, but he's too unavailable for it to go anywhere. Plus his ex...was not the best.)

He has that whole broodingly handsome thing going on that has caused people to be interested, but he usually is too busy sulking and thinking about vengeance for it to go anywhere. He's dismissive of the attention he gets at best and at worst he's hostile. People that have been around him long enough to have a crush are usually crushed by his blunt refusal of a confession.

Nari:

(She has some quiet admirers, one closer than others, but most people don't view her that way.)

Ever since she began to follow in her father's footsteps, her marriage proposals have withered away to almost nothing and the offers she does receive are more disrespectful than flattering. She doesn't think any interest people express in her is genuine and has all but given up hoping for it. This has caused her to miss some of the people that are interested, but not vocal.

Heka:

(People are definitely interested, he just doesn't know it.)

He has grown up in a temple and is somewhat oblivious to his good looks. People gives monks food all of the time, so he thinks all of the nice ladies in some of the villages they help out at are just very kind to offer him dinner and baskets of fruit. When he was younger, some of the other monks called him a pretty boy, but that was usually trash talk before a scuffle broke out, so he assumes they're being sarcastic.

P.S. Oh my goodness you're right! Amatus is proof that being hot is contagious haha!

I have a strong interest in Kemetic and practice it alittle. I saw in the reddit group that someone is starting an inktober but with the Egyptians gods, I thought "why not participate in it?". Here I did Heka: the god of magic and medicine.

An Ancient Egyptian Invocation for a Nightmare

An invocation to be spoken by one who has just experienced a nightmare. This one is preserved on the Chester Beatty 'Dream book':

"WORDS TO BE SPOKEN BY A MAN WHEN HE DREAMS IN HIS (OWN) PLACE: Come to me, come to me, mother Isis! Behold, I see that which is far from me in my city! I am here, my son Horus! Come out with what you have seen so that your dumbness ceases and your dreams retreat! May fire come out against the thing that frightened you! Behold, I have come to see you, that I might drive out your evil, that I might destroy your every harm. Hail to you, Good dream! May night be seen as day; may every evil harm done by Seth son of Nut be driven out. As Re is justified over his enemies, so I am justified over my enemies. THIS SPELL IS SPOKEN by a man when he dreams in his (own) place. Cakes should be given to him in (his) presence together with some fresh vegetables moistened with beer and myrrh. The man's face should be rubbed with them. To drive out every evil that he has seen."

McDowell (1999; 115-116) states that the orator takes on the role of an infant Horus, asking for help from his mother Isis. Isis orders the nightmare destroyed, and a good dream to take its place. The orator then proclaims Re has destroyed his enemies during the night, and now so too has he. The instructions at the end are actions taken to round off the invocation and assure that it will happen. Translation cf. McDowell. A., 1999.

The Amduat papryus of Khonsu-en-Renep. At right, Hepet-Hor and the great serpent guard Osiris on his double staircase. She has a uraeus head and wears an atef-crown, wears a red sash over a white dress, and holds two red knives. Horus, Isis, Nephthys, and Heka, god of magic, surround Osiris. Two enemies are bound to a sma-symbol on the staircase.

Egyptian Gods - The Complete List

The gods and goddesses of Ancient Egypt were an integral part of the people's everyday lives. It is not surprising then that there were over 2,000 deities in the Egyptian pantheon. Some of these deities' names are well known: Isis, Osiris, Horus, Amun, Ra, Hathor, Bastet, Thoth, Anubis, and Ptah while many others less so.

Trying to get back into worship

Im hotep y'all

Kind of in a bad spot right now and I want to strengthen my connections with the Netjeru I worship. My depressions been hitting bad and with my new job, I haven't had the energy or motivation to do anything else really.

I also feel I've been selfish with the Netjer, like taking more than giving. Asking for too much without giving something in return.

I this blog as mainly a digital grimoire and a digital altar for my Netjer, but I would like to do something more than that for Them.

I live in an apartment so I can't light candles or anything like that. If anybody has any advice or ideas, please let me know and may your chosen Netjer bless you with love and luck!

I currently worship the following Netjeru:

-Anubis

-Bastet

-Set

-Horus

-Thoth

-Hathor

-Sobek

-Sekhmet

Thank you!

MC was offered food by the nice lady only for the old crone to deny them that, then we find out that Heka cannot eat unless the food is freely offered to them due to religious restrictions and my MC fixed him a plate. Then there is the possibility of that nice lady being Heka's mother.

There are dots connecting, OP. I am connecting them.

YES.

YOU.

ARE.

Taweret Excecration Rite

Dua Taweret!

Hail to the Eye of Ra and Champion of Heru

Honor be given to the Protector of Innocence, be they young or old

Hear me Great One as I recite your victory against the puppet of uncreation!

You have made evil tremble before your mighty show of strength

Your iron jaw of justice has crushed and severed the serpent who would be Ra's enemy

The now insignificant pieces have been washed safely away by your pure waters

It has been dragged into the depths of oblivion, never to have existed

Our Lady of Heaven has snuffed out the evil before it could take root, ensuring its defeat from the start

Your children and Ra thank you, Taweret

Ra's reign has been ensured, and Ma'at will continue to prevail over and through all!

*Inspired by another excecration prayer by a member of the KO. Original may be found on the House forum.
