When I approached Ra I was apprehensive. I don’t like the idea of supremacy. I don’t jive with the concept of kingship, and my past relationship with Christianity has made me shy away from all things “Father God”. I like the freedom of choice and self discovery that I’ve found in entities like Lucifer.

But Ra is helping me heal, and in him I’m starting to find that the divine masculine isn’t so scary after all. I thought because of his nobility and position as a king, he would be harsh and picky, but he’s starting to help me understand what it really means to be a God of kings. It doesn’t mean being served and obeyed just because you should, it means being such a great and supportive leader that people want to follow you. And as a father, a good father, Ra never raises his voice at his children. He gives them the best advice because he wants them to succeed. I didn’t feel like I “owed” him respect. I just wanted to, I wanted to be around him and learn from him. I wanted to trust in his leadership and I wanted to make him proud. That’s very new for me. Having grown up without a father, I’ve never understood what that feels like.

Ra reminds me of the beauty and strength of powerful men. Men who protect and lead and encourage, men who nurture. Men who use their strength to create rather than destroy. Men who are honest and know how to love.

Ra is warm (of course) and incredibly, indescribably powerful, but also so soft. So gentle. And lively, cheerful. A smiling God. He doesn’t need to be stern and cold to summon those feelings of immense respect and honour of being in his presence. He laughs and he accepts offerings with such appreciation.

Today I gave him an offering of bread with some peanut butter and water. It’s the first one I’ve ever given. And I was overwhelmed with this feeling of him being pleasantly surprised by the peanut butter. As if he was saying “oh! Bread AND peanut butter! This is a treat!”

And something about that made me feel particularly softened. You’re the king of the Gods, the blazing burning Sun that gives all life to Earth, and yet you’re pleasantly surprised by a little peanut butter. Lol.

Today was the first time I called upon Ra for protection. I did a modified banishment of the Hexagram and called to him in his many faces, along with Horus cleanse my space and aura. I’ve never felt so confident in a protection ritual. The pure blazing energy of the sun sanitizes everything it touches. As I hummed each syllable of his holy names I felt him smiling on me. He seems to like singing and humming a lot. It was the first time I’ve ever felt right ending a prayer with “Amen”.

I could feel Mother Isis looking on us too, she seemed relieved that I’ve finally found them. Something about all this feels like coming home.

Almighty Ra, the sun god, celestial father of all creatures of the universe whose right hand is said to have created life as we know it.

A very eccentric deity whose fashion choices are as brave and creative as his personality.

Born from the chaotic sea of Nun, he came forth to put an end to its endless confusion and claimed the newly founded cosmic order as his reign. A reign he is still protecting from the attacks of the primordial forces of chaos.

Unfortunately I have no modern design for him yet, as I'm still searching for inspiration. One thing is for sure: whatever the form the Sun God will turn into, Opulence is the main element that will always define his fashion choices.

Set I’m terrible at expressing myself.

Ra: Don’t worry, actions speak louder than words!

Set: Yes, but my actions are also bad.

I guess it shouldn’t be surprising that I have seasonal depression considering I quite literally worship the sun

Would you do a prayer for Atum-Ra? Ty!

O' Atum-Re,

He of Completion,

Your sun guides me through the day,

first in your name of Khepri,

then in your name of Re,

and finally,

as your rays set in the West,

in your name of Atum.

It is you who I raise my arms to in praise,

singing the songs of the sun as you fall behind the mountain,

into the Duat.

Dua Atum-Re!

Kemetic Eschatology

Cosmogonies are a common subject in Kemetic circles, but there's a clear absence of discussion on the end of the Universe and I found out that yes, there was such a thing. Maybe for some it's not a relevant topic but in order to better grasp the ancient thought one has to consider all of its aspects.

Firstly, several texts allude to the finite nature of the gods, such as in the first hour of the Book of Gates, where it says: “These gods have come into being from Ra, and from his substance, and have emerged from his eye. He has decreed for them (as) a place the Hidden Mountain (Ament Set), which consumes men, and gods, and all cattle, and all reptiles which are created by this great god”. However, this somewhat mortal nature described in the Book of Gates probably has to do with the necessary death that brings revitalization, much like the daily rebirth of the sun god, Ra.

More detailed imagery of what could be considered an Ancient Egyptian apocalypse would be the Admonitions of Ipuwer, a text from the Middle Kingdom, probably referencing the First Intermediate Period as a warning against the lack of a centralized government. The distraught narrator describes a world so ripe of chaos and violence that he longs for the end of it all, such as in the following quote: “If only this were the end of man, no more conceiving, no births! Then the land would cease to shout, tumult would be no more!”.

Silence, or the absence of noise, is an important feature here as it alludes to the time before time, when everything was Nun, the featureless, formless primordial ocean of potentiality. Before the emergence of the gods and the creation of humanity, silence prevailed and, according to the Book of Going Forth by Day, aka The Book of the Dead, everything will return to the Nun and become silent once again: “How long then have I to live? (asks Osiris) (And then said Atum:) It is decreed that thou shalt live for millions of millions of years, a life of millions of years. May it be granted that I pass on unto the holy princes, for I am doing away with all that I did when this earth came into being from Nun, and when it sprang from the watery abyss even as it was in the days of old. I am Fate (?) and Osiris, and I have changed my form into the likeness of diverse serpents man knoweth not, and the gods cannot see”.

Consequently, one can see, according to the 175th chapter, that someday all of creation will return to the inertness of Nun, where only Atum, as a serpent, whose true nature is hidden even from the gods, will lie waiting for the moment to wake up and rebuild the world. The serpentine imagery is profoundly relevant here because serpents have a dual nature in Ancient Egyptian symbology, representing both the forces of chaos, as a/p/e/p , and revitalization, due to the ability to shed its skin. It’s impossible not to associate this passage and its significance with the ancient symbol of Ourobouros, the serpent eating its own tail, and whose earliest depictions coincidently come from Egypt.

Therefore, the Ancient Egyptian eschatological beliefs reflected, unsurprisingly, the deeply ingrained regenerative worldview that is so characteristic of the Nile Valley civilization. A true statement of hope and renewal, much like the miraculous annual flood.

Khonshu

I liked the bit towards the end of episode 3 when Khonshu essentially “rewound” the night sky to its position thousands of years ago. It’s not touched on much by Marvel, but Khonshu is also a god of time. One of his most prominent roles in regards to Egyptian creation myths was the creation of the Demon Days.

Due to a prophecy, the sun god Ra/Atum forbade Nut, the sky goddess, from giving birth to her children on any of the 360 days of the year. To get around this obstacle, Nut sought out Khonshu and challenged him to a high-stakes game of senet. Nut gambled her ren, her name, in exchange for a few more hours of moonlight. Eventually, Nut accumulated enough time to add 5 extra days to the end of the year, giving her enough time to birth her 5 children. These days are referred to as the Demon Days, and they are considered the most inauspicious time of year.

Me, tending to Ra’s altar: do you need fresh water every day or are you cool keeping this water from the day before?

Ra: *IMMEDIATELY DASHES THE CHALICE OFF OF HIS ALTAR, SOMEHOW ?? ONLY GETTING WATER ON MY FEET AND THE FLOOR (and in Lucifer’s chalice??? Wonder what that means) WITHOUT MAKING A MESS ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE ALTAR??* Fresh water please 😊

Me and my boyfriend looking at each-other in shock: 👁👁

Ra: fresh bread too please 😊

My bf: did you do that..?

Me: NO I DID NOT BUT I NEED TO GET FRESH WATER ASAP!!! ‼️🚨
