Shape shifting, until very recently, was a topic completely outside my jurisdiction, until an intense Subjective Mystical Experience and Encounter (SMEE) changed that. The academic term for shape shifting is zoomorphism, and is the capacity for a human being to transform into an animal. Incidentally, lycanthropy is also the term given to a human being who transforms into a wolf-like creature, better known as a werewolf (see…
A Twitter user recently asked, what is a spirit warrior? what is a spirit warrior — Archeoegyptian ☥☀️ (@Ask_Archeoegy) June 6, 2021 A spirit warrior (or spiritual warrior) is an eclectic concept that can be traced back to Buddhism and beliefs centred around combating our own self-ignorance. While not an ancient Egyptian concept, we shouldn’t altogether exclude it from Kemeticism. A spirit warrior, in a western context,…
I would like to take a moment to step outside our box of usual content, so that Kemeticism doesn’t become a box, and talk about Mercury in retrograde, as it really seems to be affecting people everywhere I look. It’s affected me, too! The latest onset of Mercury in retrograde hit me like a load of bricks, with my first set of cold and flu symptoms since…
It’s hard to believe nine months have passed, since I last posted an update on the Evolution of my Kemetic Altar and Shrine series! So much has been happening, both in the world and in every sphere of my own life. I’ve only been able to blog on about 50% of it, it seems. I’ve been acquiring plenty of Egyptian stuff as I fondly call these items,…
A thought popped into my mind, while reading part one of Profane Egyptologists (as Paul Harrison muses about whether or not the Egyptological community and modern Egyptians alike would accept non-Egyptian Kemetics as legitimate practitioners of ancient Egyptian religion). Then it struck me again, while watching the Pharaoh’s Golden Parade of royal mummies to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization — Do any modern Egyptians practice Kemetic Paganism or…
Usually I’m not one to complain but gosh, I’ve been through so much personal crap this year! The horrific ending of one relationship and the amazing start of another. Too many shifts at work then not enough. There was the death of a cousin I recently reconnected with. Now I’m planning a move, after living at my current residence for many years. Then of course, there’s uni,…
My three-year relationship with my former fiancé recently crashed and burned before my eyes. I never saw it coming. Well, that’s not entirely true. I was warned by a team of ancient Egyptian deities and Spiritual Guardians before it happened, which allowed me to brace for impact, as it were. I can’t recall exactly what I was doing when the warning came. Chillin’ like a villain? I…
Peer violence is a confronting topic to address and in all honesty, I wish I didn’t have to. But someone has to. The intention of this post is to promote spiritual safety for all pagans, particularly newcomers. Believe it or not, peer violence in the Kemetic neo-pagan online community exists and if we do nothing, our community will erode and we’ll be robbed of bright individuals, whose light belongs in…
I was introduced to Profane Egyptologists by fellow YouTuber SekhmetRa and was quite excited to learn a book had been written specifically about Kemeticism and Kemetic neo-pagans. If this book sounds like a shoo-in for your personal library, you are correct! Profane Egyptologists is based on an ethnographic study of self-identified practitioners of ancient Egyptian religion, known as the Kemetic community. This includes Afrocentrists, orthodox reconstructionists, reformed Kemetics, Wiccans…
Although Seti I is a pharaoh consecrated to Set, who is a god of disorder (and boy, do I have stories to share about him at some point) Seti I has none the less come to us with a message of peace in troubled times. It should be noted that most of the magic performed in ancient Egypt involving Set was to minimise his destructiveness, not to…
