Just wanting to provide a personal update about where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to lately, as I’ve not been posting as much as I used to. Essentially, it’s been work and uni, work and uni. Until I finish my degree, I cannot fully function in the capacity of a Kemetic scribe, as I would like to. I realise that now. The whole ‘I can…

Not so long ago, and not so far away: Revisiting Rhonda Byrne and The Secret
January 9, 2022Lately, I’ve been brushing up on Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret and quickly progressed to book 2, The Power where I am at the moment. As an intuitive and eclectic Kemetic pagan, I often like to acknowledge other schools of thought outside the rigid realm of Egyptology and the hegemonious powers that be. Powers that attempt to decide for us, what the Egyptological world and the world of Kemeticism can and cannot be.…
In a moment of utter amazement, I whispered “Mary is Isis and Jesus Christ is Osiris and Horus. The nativity scenes are one scene, repeated through time.” In my last post, I discussed setting up a Kemetic-themed Christmas tree for the second year running, and how I was quite content with the results. In that post, I also mentioned that when touching the ornaments and making…
While not an authentic ancient Egyptian custom obviously, last year I honoured my own vision and set up a Kemetic Christmas tree. The little tree was an experiment, just to see what it would look like, how it would feel, and what the reaction of the netjeru would be. I was really happy with the results. The netjeru, who have an unlimited capacity for graciousness it seems,…
Agnosticism• Atheism• Community• Polytheism
Even if you cannot hear my voice, I’ll be right beside you dear: Conversion to atheism in the Kemetic community and the possibility of psychosis in polytheistic belief
December 4, 2021Conversion to atheism in the Kemetic community is an issue I think we should all discuss respectfully, no matter where you stand on the matter. IDK why I’m quoting random song lyrics in my posts of late. Last month, it was Kate Bush. This time, it’s from Snow Patrol’s Run: light up, light up, as if you have a choice; even if you cannot hear my voice,…

On top of the world, looking over the edge: A dream of the Great Pyramid of Giza
November 16, 2021‘I’m showing my age’ is a phrase that makes the gods and guardians chuckle. Have I used this line before? Probably! But I’m showing my age by quoting the genius of Kate Bush and the lyrics from her song Cloudbusting: On top of the world, looking over the edge. This is how I felt during a beautiful dream I had about Egypt, just last night. The dream…

My new laptop is a ritual tool and offering to the gods
October 30, 2021It may sound odd, quirky and eccentric to some that my new laptop has become a ritual tool and offering to the gods, which now takes its place among my other ritual tools before the altar and shrine. It all happened rather spontaneously and as with all aspects of my Kemetic practice, I allowed the netjeru to guide the process. The old laptop in which I began…

Shape Shifting in Kemetic Neo-pagan Experience 2: Return of the White Werewolf
October 25, 2021Return of the White Werewolf is not my 2021 Halloween / Samhain Special. Okay, maybe it is. But I refuse to objectify him as Halloween fodder for the masses, as I have deep respect for him. This is simply what’s been going on in my life and it’s quite profound. I suspect people who cannot process horror go for the cheap thrills and junk food aspects associated…
Love is not merely an emotion we feel toward someone else. Love is the true identity of self we experience, when who we thought we were as an individual human fades away. Love and identity are expansive, encompassing all that exists. Love is the reality of gods; knowing who UR. https://t.co/gtXbM6hckz — The Intuitive Kemetic (@kemetictweets) September 2, 2021…
Let’s talk about pagan pride and its place in Kemeticism. I’ve got work and uni looming on the horizon, so this will have to be a brief-ish post. Lucky you! In short, pagan pride should fill the hearts of every Kemetic neo-pagan out there. Absolutely! There’s a massive difference between taking pride in who you are, versus what you are. The latter is ego, the former is…
