Hello revived Kemetic chat 🙂

vital orchid Jun 27, 2023, 8:00 PM

#

kankri: hello!!

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

I have so many opinions (some /upg some /vg) on Set’s interpretations and I just need to talk about them lol (as someone who works with set and Anubis)

rugged talon Jun 27, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

feel free to share! i dont work with the pantheon but its interesting to hear about!

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

I will be back soon I got to do something first

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 8:30 PM

#

Ok i am back

#

Set is such a complex and interesting deity and Twisted Rope has a great post on him but here’s kinda a mix of unverified personal gnosis (/upg), verified gnosis (/vg), and historical gnosis (/hg). I’ll only use the latter if im like, 110% confident

#

Historically, Set was the king of upper egypt (the desert and such) and had some centers of worship. Accounts vary but after Egypt was unified under the pharaoh, his name and image were taken down and he was replaced with his nephew, Horus

#

/hg

rugged talon Jun 27, 2023, 8:36 PM

#

ooo

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 8:39 PM

#

The most common story that everyone knows about kemeticism involved Set || dismembering|| (tw violence) Osiris, and Isis recovering his parts and putting him back together with the help of Anubis and Nephtys (i always spell her name wrong, she’s set’s wife)

#

Horus then takes over as the original Pharaoh and has a bunch of various battles with Set. Isis often intervenes on her son’s behalf and Thoth is usually the moderator/judge in the battles

#

/hg

#

HOWEVER then things get complicated very quickly

#

Kemeticism is old. Like, really really really old

#

And there are a ton of conflicting stories about various deities

#

Set sometimes is the protector of Ra (or former protector who got kicked out for being too cocky) who joined him on the solar barque and fought against ap/ep

#

Other times he’s joined forces with ap/ep which
(upg starts here) I don’t personally think is possible, as ap/ep (to kemetics in general) is form/variation of isft/isfet (which cannot be worshipped if you consider yourself kemetic, as it is quite literally the antithesis to ma’at, the foundation of kemeticism /vg)

#

He’s a trickster and chaos god, which means yes he does dumb stuff, but he’s not evil /hg

#

Actually in kemeticism in general, the gods all do dumb stuff

#

/hg

#

Kemeticism is weird to some I think

#

Like threatening and cursing the gods was a historical thing?
And it’s sometimes recommended if there’s a kemetic deity who won’t leave you alone (coughs Set) /vg

#

Reading about that was super fascinating because like it sounds super dangerous but it’s more like

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

I’m watching videos about isis and learning so much bout her

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

Well it is dangerous and not recommended for non-experienced (and I mean VERY experienced) practitioners

#

/vg (via Twistedrope)

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

Question what’s hg and vg

#

I Never seen does tt

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

languid vigil Set is such a complex and interesting deity and Twisted Rope has a great post on...

This!

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

OH I THOUGHT YOU WERE SAYING HALF GEN AND VERY GEN 😭

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 8:52 PM

#

Verified means a modern thing which may have had an ancient source, while historical means it did happen in antiquity

#

You’re good LMAO

#

Anyway kemeticism weird but kinda neat

rugged talon Jun 27, 2023, 8:52 PM

#

#1114060085224808468 message we have these which go over them a bit more (although hg isnt on there)

#

but i guess /cg could be that as well

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

Yeah

#

I used vg and hg separate in this because there’s a lot of verified gnosis that are commonly accepted and likely were in antiquity but there’s so much of kemeticism that is either lost or so old we just don’t know

#

Vs historical being very certain and confirmed

rugged talon Jun 27, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

i think spg/svg could work for your verified gnosis ? shared personal or shared verified gnosis?

#

but i mean they work in this context since you explained them!

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

Yeah

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

I’m probably gonna come here more often cause Learning bout this is very cool

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

Also i did date check ancient Kemet predates ancient Greece but they did exist at the same time

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

Now I think bout while I do wanna make altar for isis I been thinking adding little cow plush or bird plush for her

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

There is a lot of fusion and fission of deities in ancient kemet so deities tend to have several conflicting stories fyi

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

Or a figure

rugged talon Jun 27, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

oo that would be cute dot!

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

Ya!! Which I been finding all this funny for me cause all our life’s we grew up loving birds (our childhood bird was lovebirds) and cows so I kinda find it funny she been mostly with us and calling for us in a way if that make sense?

Does two animals been popping up in our life’s

#

Is there a thing in deity resources that isis likes as offering and things to do for her?

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

Uhhhh lemme see

rugged talon Jun 27, 2023, 9:11 PM

#

we (staff) have access to the old channel but we do accept submissions as we just went through the pins! so if you have links or just general info that can totally be helpful!

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 9:12 PM

Ya! Plus learning what offering she will like be helpful

rugged talon Jun 27, 2023, 9:12 PM

subtle orbit Is there a thing in deity resources that isis likes as offering and things to do...

i dont think we have one!

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 9:12 PM

The more I learn bout her the more I realize she been with me all my life I just didn’t notice it

#

If that make sense?

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

FYI epithets are very common (/hg) to use when talking about kemetic deities

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

subtle orbit If that make sense?

Oh yeah absolutely

#

I was the same way when I realized Anpu was calling me

rugged talon Jun 27, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

languid vigil https://seshkemet.weebly.com/auset-iset-isis.html

i was legit about to link this as well catscream

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

The website has been known to have questionable content (as in gore/violence mentions) so just be aware

#

That’s why I wouldn’t post it as a resource but

#

It’s still a good one

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

Cause when you point out bout ||Pregnancy|| as a kid and now I can immediately point out some is ||pregnant|| without knowing they soon gonna become one

#

I find It freaky

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

languid vigil I was the same way when I realized Anpu was calling me

I’m planning to study bio archaeology so it makes sense now why he chose me

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

subtle orbit I find It freaky

Yeah!

#

You’ll realize more and more stuff as time goes on

#

It’ll be fun I promise

#

Kemeticism is a weird religion but there’s so much to learn and so many paths to take

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

What kind of paths does it have?

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 9:24 PM

#

But yeah my recommendations for what to do next:

Do some more vetting and general research of her associations to confirm
Research some epithets, they’ll be useful
Research some offerings. I’d stick to general kemetic ones at first tbh if you’re unsure still, don’t go all out. There’s a good resource in #1114060729809653770 also by Twisted Rope
Set up a small altar! Kemetic deities are all about that altar!
Write a simple prayer

My format for prayer goes somewhat like this (i filled in Auset for you, it’s Isis’s kemetic name)
Dua Auset,
List a few epithets
Thank you for
Ask for
End with a few epithets
Dua Auset

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 9:25 PM

#

subtle orbit What kind of paths does it have?

If you want to do more deity work, work with writing, physical spell work, all types of stuff

#

I mean it’s kinda the same as others but there’s a lot of spells from antiquity you can research

#

(Also Dua Auset means roughly “Praise/Hail Auset”)

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 9:27 PM

#

How you pronounce her other name auset? Idk if she mind also isis

rugged talon Jun 27, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

Aw-set i believe

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

aw (like awwwww) set (like to set something down)

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 9:32 PM

#

It sounds like saying all set

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 9:33 PM

#

Kinda!

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

Do Etsy have good shops when buying kemetic items?

languid vigil Jun 27, 2023, 9:35 PM

#

Etsy is pretty good BUT there’s also some mini statues you can get off Amazon for 10-15$ that are great if you aren’t ready to commit to something’s expensive

subtle orbit Jun 27, 2023, 9:35 PM

What is epithets?

rugged talon Jun 30, 2023, 12:29 PM

#

subtle orbit What is epithets?

Epithets are different aspects/faces of the same god/deity that you call upon with names.
So like for example Aphrodite has a BUNCH of epithets. There is Aphrodite Urania who is The Heavenly One which could be called upon if you need her more heavenly side. BUT there is also Aphrodite Areia who is Of Ares, Warlike. This epithet could be called upon if you want the more warlike aspect of the goddess.
They are both Aphrodite but they just have different aspects!

Relooking through the links i actually found this little bit which i didn't know before! Honestly p intresting if you worship both Bast and Sekhmet (The Broom Closet; Bastet - Wordpress)

"Bast shares qualities of both Sekhmet and Het-hert in Her role as protector [...] However, at no time in the history of Kemetic religion were Sekhmet and Bast associated in a “sister-sister”, “mother-daughter”, “aunt-niece”. or “big bad lioness/ nice kitty” context. The phrase, “She rages as Sekhmet, She is pacified as Bast.” is a fairly late (150 BCE) [...] implying the state of the theology previous to the Third Intermediate/ Late Period."

With siblinghood being so important (Take Isis and Nephthys or Set and Osiris) its a good note to have down that these 2 do not share that connection

#

It's made me think about redoing my altar idea, instead of giving them a larger shelf split in 2-- just having them on their own like many of the other non-couple pairings

how about yourself?

is it one deity or the whole pantheon?

languid vigil Apr 10, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

I tend to focus worship and work with two deities, Anubis and Set, but I've recently started to expand into a more pantheon-wide worship

#

Anubis has been in my practice since late 2019, and Set since mid-late 2022

#

it's really nice to have someone who is actually Egyptian here though because I feel like Kemeticism gets grouped with the Hellenistic practices a lot of the time when traditionally, it's not. It's its own thing

candid marlin Apr 10, 2024, 9:42 PM

Im not sure how to reach out tbh. But I recently found a prayer for Khonsu and recited it and I believe I did the same for Thoth

languid vigil Apr 10, 2024, 9:43 PM

#

I prayed, left offerings, and set up a small shrine

#

Mine is more reflective of a modern pagan shrine rather than a traditional egyptian one but I usually keep fresh water, a food offering, and a candle (because I can't handle the smell of most incense). An image is a good thing to have too

Honestly, most of them just came from odds and ends of sources, so they're not all my ideas haha

I will be making an excretion pot where I'll write down all the stuff I want to get rid (like bad habits) on a red-painted pot and smash it on the morning of Wep Ronpet. I usually ask around and I can totally make it a group thing if other people want to add, as I'll usually add stuff for my friends anyway!
I also like making a snake effigy and tearing it apart (symbolizing the slaying of ap/ep) and generally doing a Big House Cleaning

#

The Epag days are for being Serious and Not Partying so Wep Ronpet is the day all hell breaks loose and you can have fun

#

(Also I celebrate Wep Ronpet on a slightly later date based on the rising here in the US, which I schedule as my move-in for college on so I get a fresh start!)

Is it necessary to know the history of ancient Egyptians to practice kemetism?

rugged talon Mar 14, 2025, 3:08 AM

#

I wouldn't say that it's necessary but it's probably something that you should at least attempt because you are utilizing a religion that does belong to a set of people and their values is what shaped the religion.

just like how you should maybe learn about why Greek people worshiped Greek gods the same thing would go for Egyptian ones

void obsidian Mar 14, 2025, 5:59 AM

#

historical context is a huge factor in religion. i’d argue that yes it is necessary, especially if you are not the peoples of said group. you can definitely practice in a modern way, but that knowledge is powerful to have so you can understand what you’re practicing better

rugged talon Mar 14, 2025, 6:04 AM

#

agree
when I said it's not necessary I meant more along the lines that u don't have to be like a historian in the concept of ancient Egypt. but you should especially be in the basics of learning in the historical religious aspect. /gen

I also think that specifically with Kemetism learning its history is kind of important considering that pharaohs and kings were often seen as embodiments of the gods. so like knowing who they were is probably important

hot osprey Is it necessary to know about the history of ancient Egypt to worship the gods? ...

if you read up a little bit you'll see a conversation we had on this exact same subject

#

when it comes to there being videos on the history of ancient Egypt that I'm not sure of though I don't doubt it

#

we may have some in #1114060729809653770 but another thing that you could possibly do is using text to speech features to have it read it to you or going and looking into audiobooks in terms of books to read

#

as I mentioned in the comments above ancient Egypt in particular mentions a lot of kings and Pharaohs as embodiments of the gods themselves so in my opinion it would kind of need to be at least something to look into

It’s impossible to know everything about anything, I think as long as your confident and comfortable in yourself and knowledge with and of them then your okay. Be sure to look into decolonization of Kemeticism as well and the Greco Roman period and why the Greeks adopted the gods etc.

Are you asking as a way of telling if you’re ready to practice kemeticism? Or work with the Neteru?

As Wep Ronpet (Kemetic New Year) is coming up next month, I am working on creating a community execration pot, which is a (technically ancient) tradition where you write down all the bad things in your life, then smash the pot to get rid of them. It's symbolic of the slaying of Ap/ep!

If you have any negativity in your life, whether it be bad habits, bad people, or bad vibes, you can leave it in the form. I will add it to the pot to be smashed on Wep Ronpet (August 8th, in Cairo), symbolically getting rid of everything submitted!

For more on Wep Ronpet (and the proceeding Epagomenal days) check out this post: https://thetwistedrope.wordpress.com/2013/07/03/wep-ronpet-a-guide/

To submit things to the Pot, use this form. It is anonymous!

i love using wiktionary for information on their traditional names

#

i have a spreadsheet i work on often with lots of information on the middle egyptian language: hieroglyph information, pronunciation trends, words, etc

#

i also have a google document for anything else i feel like documenting that doesn't fit neatly into a spreadsheet format

#

most of my information comes from wiktionary, james p allen's middle egyptian, and my own analysis of images of the written language on wikimedia commons

#

my spreadsheet originally started as an analysis of middle egyptian pronunciation for combinations of letters based on the reconstructions in many of wiktionary's articles for egyptian words, but now it's extended into logging more information for just that

#

the analysis isn't a super accurate show of how something would definitely be pronounced, but i use it to give some sort of idea of it for words that don't have a middle egyptian pronunciation reconstruction on wiktionary

#

i have a lot of different ways i write the deity names when i'm texting, and i'm not super consistent about it. sometimes i use their english names since thats the most likely to be understood by most people, sometimes i use the more accurate names used in kemetic communities (ex: anpu and wesir like mars said), sometimes i use the hieroglyphic spellings (as in using unicode hieroglyphs), sometimes i do the romanised versions of those hieroglyphic spellings (like what is used in the titles of the wiktionary articles, though i usually only use characters i can actually type, and sometimes i substitute certain letters for ones more accurate to how they were pronounced), or sometimes i do a more phonetic spelling of the word, writing out the actual pronunciation in latin characters in a way that the average reader could mostly get the gist of how it'd be pronounced

#

it's fun how much variety there is, haha

sometimes i substitute certain letters for ones more accurate to how they were pronounced
the most baffling one to me is how 𓄿 is romanised as "a" when it's really pronounced as a rolled R

#

i wonder what the origin of that romanisation is

#

i often see something similar (but more understandable) with 𓇋, treating it like an "i," so i wonder if it might be a sort of attempt to turn the consonants into vowels. like, on a good handful of wiktionary articles for egyptian words, they don't give the full historical reconstruction, just the modern egyptological pronunciation where they injected Es between most of the consonants and kept those two as As and Is, which is how we got "wesir" out of "wsjr" for example

#

but with that mention of wsjr i must note we really have no clue what the actually etymology or pronunciation of that word is anyway, haha

#

but even more uncertain than the name of osiris is the name of nu, because oh my, just look at this:

Very new to all this and would appreciate any help/being lead in the right direction

hexed radish Jan 6, 2026, 3:07 AM

For altars, the easiest path to start is just make a drawing or print an image out! When I started out I only had these oracle cards to represent the Netjeru.

Put a space for devotions and offerings like a cup for water/wine (if you're 21+), a plate for food, a small candle or even an electric tea light works!, and just put in a space that you see daily but is out of the way from pets or small children. If you like, some incense of their preferred scents work nicely, and some trinkets you feel called to give them :)

Hello, I wanted to know if I could ask anyone some questions as I was talking to my partner about learning more about paganism and the way the different gods are being the Greek, roman, Celtic, Norse, and Egyptian. I was asking her about how would I know if I was getting a sign if a god was contacting me and she said that I need to first focus on shadow work before just reaching out to the gods.

Right after having the conversation with her and taking a nap I would get a dream of my partner and I in a birthing room as we are expecting a new addition to our family currently. We were talking then a women I can't really make out and a man with a lion and dog like head appeared in the room. After the man with the dog like head left the room and to not look at what was coming. A darkness would come over the room and then the two that were in the room were wrapped and covered by some dark wrap. After this would happen a ring of fire would come around us and a being come out on a horse though it would then change to a man on a motorcycle or bike with a bat that had spikes on it. He was headed to my wife and surprisingly I was stuck in the passenger seat of the dream I was able to have free roam so I and the man with the lion head ran towards the man on the bike to confront him. The man with the lion head knocked him on the bike and struck the man down with his bat.

I looked up after what the gods could be from the dream that I had with a vague picturization and got back that the dog like man was Annubis and the lion head man was Maahes. Though I still am unable to figure out who the lady was in the room

I am new to working with the pagan or god work coming from Christianity as a Baptist when looking into gods that work with them is there a certain thing that I should look for or a group of gods that are in association with them?

rugged talon Mar 2, 2026, 11:47 PM

#

so i would generally suggest looking at family trees or myths from both and see who pops out to you for both of them

a lot of deities in polytheistic (and monotheistic too but) religions tend to have connections in mythology that cause them to influence one another.

Osiris for example being a god that is often spoken about in myth so hes highly connected.

From how you describe it the goddess or figure here doesnt have much influence on the dream as a whole so it may be a weaker connection or one thats only connected to the Maahes.

The most that I remember from her is that when they first all appeared in the room they were human, though once the room went dark they all changed form. One a dog, a lion, and the last a bird. The only thing else that I remeber is that she stayed by my partners side during the entire event

Just remember not to call it specifically a "rosary" as that's only for Catholicism. Generic "prayer beads" is ok as you're not appropirating anything from someone else's religion/people. Even being raised in a Catholic home myself, I wouldn't call my beaded necklaces, studded rings, or beaded strands rosaries as I'm not Catholic.

rich plaza Hello, I wanted to know if I could ask anyone some questions as I was talking to...

You’re dream is really interesting, the dog headed god does sound like Anubis, who I am a follower of, there are many Egyptian gods with lions heads but typically they are protectors, usually brought forth by Ra the sun god and great protector, as for the woman I would personally look into Isis or Hathor, specifically Hathor’s human half if she was not represented as a cow in your dream, both women are good signs for childbirth and protectors of women during pregnancy and birth, your wife may be protected by one of these wonderful ladies, if they seem familiar I would personally start with an offering, say thank you for the protection, leave something out for them (water, milk, a little beer maybe, a fruit, bread, jewelry, etc) you don’t have to do shadow work to worship and appreciate any of these gods. We mostly worry about shadow work when you want to WORK with a god/goddess, I hope that helps a little?

A bird sounds like Isis! A wonderful goddess to be protecting or staying with an expecting partner, she in myth struggled to conceive her own child, so she adopted the abandoned Anubis as a young boy, and raised him, and then conceived of Horus, the last divine pharaoh and the avenger of her husband Osiris. She is known as a protector of women and mothers, along with being known as a strong queen and a lady of magic, most commonly taking the form of a bird!

i would check https://discord.com/channels/599776551306788874/1114061823377952809 for altar suggestions (for example if the budget is too much of a problem id suggest looking for digital altars!), and in #1114061636744007720 and https://discord.com/channels/599776551306788874/1114060729809653770 you can find more thoth specific offerings (from what im seeing some are really budget friendly)

my personal advice for budget altars would be to go for craftable things or things you already own, after all the importance of the offering mostly comes down to the meaning you give to it

Approaching Research in Spiritual Spaces

While this server is great for community and finding resources, we are not a search engine and doing your own research outside of the server is key to developing a full picture of your practice or practice-to-be. No one resource is going to have all the information you need and show all the dimensions of a subject.

Independent Research

Plan ahead! Keep in mind how to research effectively and make the best use of your time.
Record information in the way that best makes sense for you. Some witches may use grimoires, other may use digital documents or bookmarks, audio recordings, flashcards, ruled notebooks, or comments in the margins of books. Other witches may even challenge themselves to recall all the information they read. Think about your learning style, and do what works best for you! People commonly think that you “have” to have a grimoire or a book of shadows to be a successful practitioner - you don’t.
Worry about the content of what you’re writing rather than the appearance. Not everything has to be aesthetic & pretty (though it’s totally fine if you want it to be). Just be mindful that you can actually utilize the information you’re putting down in addition to making it look the way you want. Expect that you will also have to build on topics later - very few are “one and done”, so if possible, leave room to add more information. But if you find yourself being unhappy with your research, not having enough room, or if it doesn’t look the way you want it to, you can always re-do it later!

To see if we have any resources on a subject do: [ in: 🗝️resources things you want] into the server search bar. Do not use the "Search or create post" option in the resources channel, that searches through the names of the posts not the messages.

If we do not have any resources on your subject, you may post a request in the resources channel and other members may fulfill your request. However, please do look at our existing resources before you request any new ones.
