Month: July 2015

When did you notice that feeling of “I must worship this deity”? For me, it was seeing Djehuty depicted on various things and learning about him in a museum exhibition almost 5-7 years ago. I felt kind of a connection to him and a need to worship him

intaier:

Ah, what a good question! Because I currently write a series of long blog posts called “Latria:…”, and soon part 2 would be posted – where I exactly write about the moment of “turning point” when you start to worship a God.
But generally, I wrote so many posts about my journey towards Djehuty and with Djehuty. And I remember almost all important dates.
As I mention often, I was attracted to Ancient Egypt since childhood, so I can’t really say when I FIRST discovered who Djehuty is. But it could have happened not later than in 1987, because I’ve read the textbooks for “Ancient world history” for 5th grade while still being in 4th (according to Soviet school system).
So, it was at least 1987 when I already learned the basics of egyptian mythology. 🙂

Still, in my understanding, my invitation to Djehuty to come into my life that was made in 1997, was not “formal”, but he used the opportunity indeed.
It was still not full-fledged, full-grown worship.
However, he closely watched me since.
The “turning point” and giving him worship-Latria first happened in 2005, and I remember all the circumstances.
(I wrote him a letter 🙂

But what transformations happen into the soul when you start to feel that you need to worship, not just respect from distance? I’m writing about it, exactly these days.
So first I invite you to write my blog posts dedicated to my spiritual journey,

Hermopolis Begins in the Heart
Why kemeticism?
Latria: They want your soul [pt.I]
and wait just for few days until Pt.II of “Latria: They want your soul” will be posted!

personal journey in my journal is tagged #on the waters of Khmun’s Lord

sort of masterpost for Thoth

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything political. But this came up on my playlist today while I was driving. Every time I hear it now it brings me to tears. 

I give you a song of peace. This was recorded with the Syrian National Orchestra a year before all those assholes – Assad, the rebels, and the Islamic State – destroyed a beautiful country and left us with 10 million refugees. Prayers for Syria.
