Chamomile Kemetic<p>This time of year is the time of Anhur. <br>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. <br>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. </p><p>This myth is one of my favorites and is the one that plays the biggest part in my shrines. </p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemetic</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemeticpolytheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemeticpolytheism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemeticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemeticism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pagan</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/LionGod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LionGod</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythology</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Solar</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Solstice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Solstice</span></a></p>
Chamomile Kemetic<p>Today is my community's celebration of the Wesir Mysteries. <br>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. </p><p>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. <br>My community celebrates the Mysteries with an all day-night vigil. </p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/KemeticOrthodox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KemeticOrthodox</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemetic</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemeticpolytheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemeticpolytheism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemeticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemeticism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/deity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deity</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythology</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/festival" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>festival</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/holiday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>holiday</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pagan</span></a></p>
Chamomile Kemetic<p>Mut is our focus today.<br>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. <br>Mut has many associations including parenthood, family, royalty, authority, and the throne. </p><p>There are many deities connected to Mut but a few that form syncretism forms with her are..<br>Sekhmet = Sekhmet-Mut<br>Bast = Bast-Mut<br>Hethert = Hethert-Mut</p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemetic</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemeticpolytheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemeticpolytheism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemeticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemeticism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/deity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deity</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythology</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/family" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>family</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Khonsu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Khonsu</span></a></p>
Chamomile Kemetic<p>Today we talk Djehuty.<br>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. <br>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.<br>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. </p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemetic</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemeticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemeticism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemeticpolytheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemeticpolytheism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pagan</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythology</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/deity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deity</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/digitalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>digitalArt</span></a></p>
Chamomile Kemetic<p>Bast-Mut facing the night. A piece I did for an art exchange.

Chamomile Kemetic<p>Sekhmet the Star Lion<br><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Sekhmet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sekhmet</span></a> is the <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemetic</span></a> deity of healing, war, and plague. Her name means 'powerful female.' She is best known for being sent out by Ra to punish humans, killing them and in her bloodlust lapping up their blood. It was only through a trick that she returned from the bloodlust state to Hethert (Hathor). <br>But there is more to Sekhmet than this. She is connected to all aspect of life. Sekhmet can be a primordial goddess who was there at the beginning. She has connections with the stars, the fields, plants, growth, food, and more. She has command over demons and is famously known as the goddess of the knife, arrow, and plague demons (spirits) who serve her. <br>Sekhmet is a multifaceted deity. Her influence is powerful and can be subtle. There are many types of manifestations Sekhmet can take and each very different.</p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemeticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemeticism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/kemeticpolytheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kemeticpolytheism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pagan</span></a></p>
