Sobek-Ra the sun and Khenty-khety the moon, both crocodiles moving in the great river of the sky.
@Anpuankhses@meow.socialAnpu: So this is an SUV, huh? And you're sure this is the best thing for traveling through the desert these days?
Larry: Of course! You'll see, you'll love it. Too bad there's only one seat and so little storage...
Anpu: Good thing I saved those droid arms, huh? Let them carry our stuff.
Larry: They sure saved our lives but... Anpu... do you really need your torch to see spirits? You already see spirits!
Anpu: Yeah, but you don't.
Larry: I don't even want to see them!
Anpu: You'll get used to it. *Settles in behind the SUV.* Gah, it's too uncomfortable, go on it yourself, I'll find another way to keep up with you.
Larry: And where are you going to get another vehicle?
Anpu: Come on, we're in a ship junkyard, surely I can... wait... do you smell that? *Sniffs.* Plastoid... Good quality blaster gas... Stormtroopers!
Larry: Get in the SUV Anpu, we have to go!
Anpu: Wait, I want to take a look.
Larry: Anpu! No!
*Anpu disappears behind a giant turbine.*
Anpu: (In the distance.) Ohoho! I got my noble white steed!
Stormtrooper: (In the distance.) Hey! Stop!
*Engine sounds and blaster shots.*
Anpu: Run, Larry! Speed up!!!
Stormtrooper: Stop in the name of the galactic empire!
Larry: (Accelerating with a loud screech of wheels!) Oh gods!
@Anpuankhses@meow.socialCall it what you will. Master builder, planeswalker, multidimensional traveler... But when you travel so many worlds and make so many friends, every now and then you get gifts like this: A base of dwarven and elven metallurgy forged in the furnaces of Mount Doom, some demonic technology salvaged from the UAC warehouses, a dash of Efreeti magic from the Elemental Plane of Fire, and the always beautiful and terrifyingly functional design of the blacksmiths of Sekhmet's army. The result? My two trusty, unmeltable khopesh!
The goddess Heqat
Menhit-Nebetuu the Divine Eye.
She is a large, primordial deity. Her consort is Khnum/Khnum-Ra. She has connections to the fields, plants, stars, and time. She is a combination of two goddesses, Menhit and Nebetuu. Just like Hethert and Sekhmet, these two are a angry and pacified combination.
Hail Shezmu,
Lord of the Laboratory,
Master of the Cauldron,
You who prepares the oils,
The festive scents of the netjeru!
O Khnum, creator of all that exists,
Be adored by your creation,
Your name sung in every heart,
It is your hands at the beginning,
That cradle us at the time of our conception.

Khnum, creator of all that exists,
Who forms the egg.
O Sobek-Ra, Lord of the Flowers,
You who make the plants glitter,
Be adorned in praise and embraced in offerings.
Yinepu reaches out into the world and is part of the world.

Hail Yinepu, lord of the embalming oils. You who are the Udjat Eye. Be praised and welcomed.
Sekhmet, the Dawn Eye, breaks open the heavens to allow Ra to rise.
Sekhmet the Star Lion.
I love all the flower ornaments.
This time of year is the time of Anhur.
There is a myth of the Wandering Goddess which Anhur plays a large part of. The myth goes that Ra and the goddess get into a disagreement. And she storms off. She ends up running south into Nubia and Ra is forlorn. The world becomes dark and Ra must have the goddess return. So he calls on Djehuty and Anhur to find her. The pair go south and end up finding the goddess in Nubia in the shape of a wild cat. She is wild and fierce. The two must win her over with jokes, stories, and promises of feasts to come. They lure her back with these things, escorting her home day after day and night after night. By the time she reaches Ra again, the goddess is herself and returns pacified. Anhur becomes her consort, continuing their chase and find every year.
Anhur is a war god who can be depicted as a lion or man. He wears the four feathers headdress that represents the four winds. He is a form of Shu and the Wandering Goddess is often a form of Tefnut. The myth relates about the solar cycles and the solstices.
This myth is one of my favorites and is the one that plays the biggest part in my shrines.
Today is my community's celebration of the Wesir Mysteries.
Wesir (Osiris) is the god king of the Duat (the underworld). He oversees the dead and is connected to the cycles of agriculture. He is best known for his myth in which his brother, Set, murders him. Then his consort, Aset, and his sister, Nebthet, in their mourning find his body parts. They reunite them and Aset breathes life back into him. She renews his life but he is now part of the Duat and must reign over it. His son is Heru-sa-Aset, who must go through adversity to reclaim Wesir's throne from Set.
The Wesir Mysteries is a month long festival revolving around the mythos of Wesir. There are many activities that correspond to different aspects of the myth. The murder, reuniting, and rejuvenation of Wesir are all honored in different ways. The deity Sokar is also brought to the forefront in the Mysteries, as he is connected to Wesir (sometimes Sokar-Wesir) and a god of death.
My community celebrates the Mysteries with an all day-night vigil.
Mut is our focus today.
Mut is the consort wife of Amun-Ra and mother of Khonsu, and sometimes the mother of Montu. Mut is the queen of heaven and the equal of Amun-Ra in their triad. She is most commonly depicted as a woman with the vulture headdress and double crown. She is also connected to the deity Amunet, the female Amun. Amunet is a form of Mut and is part of the Ogdoad.
Mut has many associations including parenthood, family, royalty, authority, and the throne.
There are many deities connected to Mut but a few that form syncretism forms with her are..
Sekhmet = Sekhmet-Mut
Bast = Bast-Mut
Hethert = Hethert-Mut
Today we talk Djehuty.
Djehuty (Thoth) is best known as the book-ish deity of writing and the moon. But he did a lot of different things. He gambled the moon deity Khonsu for time outside of the year so Nut could give birth. He went with Anhur to help bring the Wandering Goddess back home. Djehuty took his consort's written language to the people so they could learn. Djehuty is Ra's right hand deity. Anything that needs to be done, Djehuty can help find a solution.
In the tale of the Contendings, Djehuty plays a part in the final scene. It is the defining scene where the decision is made about whether Set or Heru-sa-Aset (Horus the younger) will rule Egypt. When the time came, Djehuty proved which of the deities had dominated the other. It was by finding this proof that Djehuty received his lunar disc and ended the conflict.
The ibis and ibis headed man are the most common Djehuty depictions, but not the only ones. I am prone to seeing him in his lion theophany.
