Feast of Shemsety
Sekhmet repels the Shemsu of Set

The Elder Daughter (shemsety) Aset is celebrated today, as well as Sekhmet, Who as the Mistress of Appropriateness repels "the Shemsu of Set," a euphemism here for situations of aggression, violence or struggle.

May Aset, Great One of Magic, help you find a way to inner calm and peace, and may Sekhmet help you learn to maintain it. I pray in both Their names for your blessing today.

Dua Aset! Dua Sekhmet! Nekhtet!

Thought for the Day:

Feast of Shu and Tefnut (26th, Day 5)
Great Procession/Festival of Wesir (26th-28th)
Feast of Yinepu-Wepwawet (26th and 27th)
Ihhy (Jubilation) of the New Moon (27th)

At the close of this great first month of Year 11, we honor the gods Who bring us connection with the ancestors honored in the holy Wag Festival: Wesir, king and guardian; and Yinepu, guardian and guide. Together They usher in the quiet, dark moon of emptiness, against a dark sky and the beautiful stars that make up the constellations patterning the body of great Nut.

Spend time alone, during the evening, at this time, and hear the quiet messages of your Akhu as well as Wesir and Yinepu. All are blessed under the great gods' hands.

Dua Shu! Dua Tefnut! Dua Wesir! Dua Yinepu! Nekhtet!

Thought for the Day:
We honored the Naming Ceremony of three new Shemsu and a rootnamed child of the faith in Dua on the 27th!

and Saheruemhebet (Sahebet), daughter of Shemsut Meritaset, of Australia, protected under the Sa-Heru, or Four Sons of Heru. Nekhtet!

Wag Festival
Feast of Shu and Tefnut (Day 1)
Day of Magnifying the Majesty of Heru
Feast of Wesir

We honor the sacred dead, our shining ancestors, in the vault of Nut on this day. Leave a light burning in your shrine, or on your doorstep, to light their way among us.

Today we also begin a great festival in honor of the first two Children of the Self-Created One, Shu and Tefnut. Bring Them offerings and ask for renewal and blessing in your life. Heru, model and type of kingship, and Wesir, the eternal king Himself, are also honored along with all these great ones.

May everything you pray for and offer towards this day bear great results.

Dua Akhu! Dua Shu! Dua Tefnut! Dua Heru! Dua Wesir! Nekhtet!

Wag Festival Eve
Feast of Sobek-Ra

On the eve of the oldest and most beloved festival of Kemet, we feast Sobek-Ra, the protector Who is at once on the earth and in the sky, great crocodile of the earthly and celestial waters.

May He protect those Who are within, either as ancestors in the starry river (the Milky Way), or any who have gone West via drowning, those souls touched especially by Him.

As you go to the cemeteries with me, and alone, to honor your blessed dead at the Wag Festival, may you find Them ready to receive you and grant you all blessings.

Dua Akhu! Dua Sobek-Ra! Nekhtet!

Feast of Sebaka

More and more and more photos are appearing in our temple galleries: Kemetic New Year 2003 as well as additions to the Bast shrine opening and Bes music jamboree weekends at Tawy House in previous months.

Enjoy the photos and know that you are part of a growing, satisfied nation of people working towards Ma'at. Nekhtet!

Sebaka, the planet Mercury, is considered to be a spirit form of the god Heru-wer. May the quick red one Who circles so close to Ra bring you many blessings in this new month and new year.

Feasts of Tutu, Khonsu-Wesir, Ptah, Meskhetiu

Before you allow yourself to believe you are alone, think about everyone else who is alone around you.

Then think about closing the circle, including yourself in a group of all those who feel alone.

You will never be alone again.

As Meskhetiu, the constellation of Set (now known as the Great Bear) blazes a path in the nighttime sky, know that you are loved by gods, ancestors, and men.

Jubilation of the Year's Beginning
Feasts of Nut, Nun, Heru and Khenty-khety

At the beginning of the year, celebrate the Sky and the Primeval Waters, the King of the Living and the King of the Dead. Each is a boundary, a pillar, of the universe we live within.

May each of these great ones bestow upon you all the blessings of the Kemetic New Year, and may you find love and light, hope and happiness, within that place of blessing.

Dua Nut! Dua Nun! Dua Heru! Dua Khenty-khety! Nekhtet!

Thought for the Day:
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Day of Opening the Two Lands
Feasts of Khenty-khety, Satet and Nefertem
Procession of Aset

The Two Lands open to receive the bounty of Inundation, and Year 11 is upon us in full. Nekhtet!

I'll make the Year 11 announcements today, since I realized I hadn't put them in the devotions yet after returning from Wep Ronpet celebrations:

NEW SHEMSU-ANKH
Four more Shemsu, Parura, Bastsaiwi, Asetiunet and Yinepuwepef joined my family as Shemsu-Ankh, sworn Shemsu who have taken the Weshem-ib (Shemsu Ordeal) oath! This brings the total of Shemsu-Ankh of Kemetic Orthodoxy to 42. Nekhtet to the new princes and princesses of our nation, and to all who renewed their vows this year!

PRIESTHOOD ORDINATIONS AND ELEVATIONS
Five Shemsu-Ankh: Senamun, Djehutydjesi, Wenemaset, Sekhmetresut and Meteruaset, completed their training successfully and were fully invested as W'ab priests of Kemetic Orthodoxy. They join Senior W'ab Sahyinepu as ritual technicians and lay priesthood for our faith, and serve all gods and goddesses and our people. This brings the total of our W'ab priesthood to 20: (Sah, Ma'ai, Mekti, Mehet, Sen, Djesi, Wenem, Resut and Meteru, as well as 4 Kai-Imakhu, 2 Imakhu and 4 Imy-set'a, and myself, are also consecrated and can perform as W'abu). Nekhtet!

Imakhu Niankhsekhmet is now known as Kai-Imakhu Niankhsekhmet, in recognition of her senior priest status and work for the faith. Nekhtet! This brings the total of our Kai-Imakhu to 4 (Anty, Ini, Merybast and Niankh), and our Imakhu to 2 (Sesha and Neferu).

Two W'abu, Senyt-menu and Khenmetaset have accepted Netjer's calling and were consecrated as Imy-set'a, or Imakhu-in-training, of Kemetic Orthodoxy. They join Imyu-set'a Meresinepu and Ikhet-itw in this position, and a third new Imy-set'a, Asetmekti, will be consecrated in the near future, as she had to leave Chicago before her consecration could be completed. Counting Mekti, our Imy-set'a will number 5 persons! Nekhtet!

There's nothing like a busy, happy House. Have a wonderful weekend in the shining light of the gods and goddesses and join me in congratulating all the people who serve our faith, either for the first time, or renewed in Year 11.

Dua Khenty-khety! Dua Satet! Dua Nefertem! Dua Aset! Nekhtet!

Thought for the Day:

Great protectors, Ra the King, Sobek the Crocodile, and the Bawy, or Two Souls of Heru-wer and Set, are feasted today.

Give offering and thanksgiving for strength, protection and power in your life.

Where can these gods help you more? I pray that each of you receives Their blessings in great measure!

Processions of Tefnut, Nebt-het, Aset, Heru-sematawy and Hedjhotep

More New Year's photos are coming in all the time. I am really looking forward to seeing the rest, as well as those from the coincident celebrations in Berlin and all over the world where our people met to celebrate. Please feel free to share them and we'll add them to the website!

Some of us have found it somewhat difficult to ride the wave of love and power that comes from the rituals of each New Year, as we go back from being together into our "regular lives. I encourage you to hold tight to everything that fed your ka over the five Days Upon the Year and Wep Ronpet, and keep it glowing within you throughout the year, whether you were here celebrating with us or somewhere else with the people you love. May Aset and Nebt-het's year bring you everything you wish for.

Dua Tefnut! Dua Nebt-het! Dua Aset! Dua Heru-sematawy! Dua Hedjhotep! Nekhtet!

Ihhy (Jubilation) of the Full Moon
Feast of 'Anty

The moon rises, healed and full, bringing in the lunar new year. In the sky slightly to its left, the planet Mars, considered a sign of the god Heru-wer, also shines brightly...more brightly than it has or will do again for 60,000 years.

See both lights and praise Heru, great of strength, Who brings the year in full, in His form of 'Anty, ferryman of the gods.

I pray in the name of the Greatly Speckled Hawk, Lord of Gold, that you are given all prosperity and strength in this coming year.

Dua Iah! Dua 'Anty! Nekhtet!

Sixth-day Festival (10th)
Feasts of Mer-wer and Yinepu (10th)
Day of Welcoming the Inundation (11th)
Feast of Sobek (11th)

The ancestors rise on the sixth day, which we celebrate this month and every sixth day of each Kemetic month for the year to come. May your Akhu bless you with wisdom, grace, and happiness.

Mer-wer, great bull of Temu and Yinepu usher in the new year, carrying protection and power, strength and love on Their backs. Nekhtet!

And, on the eve of a Full Moon, we welcome the Inundation, the watery Akhet which makes the year new, back into our lives. Feel its newness, its creative power, wash over you and fill every empty space in your heart and soul with life and joy. Let go of all the things you didn't need to carry with you from last year and allow yourself to be washed clean with the tears of Aset, the "new water" that marks Zep Tepi all over again. Know that Sobek lives within those waters, crocodile of Ra Who makes everyone strong, and swim with Him to find a place to bask in Ra's eternal light.

Dua Akhu! Dua Mer-wer! Dua Yinepu! Dua Akhet! Dua Sobek! Nekhtet!

Feast of the Seat of the First Time (Day 9-11)
Feast of the Pacification of Sekhmet
Feasts of Djehuty, Hethert, Nekhbet and Nut (8th)
Feasts of Behdety, Heru-wer and Hethert (9th)

Welcome to year 11!

Here I thought it'd be during the new year's festivities that I'd have a hard time getting online!

Slowly getting back into the synch of things at home and getting back online. Thank you all so very much for the boxful of letters, greetings and "Hemet I'm home" notes, for all the wonderful gifts, and the time we were able to spend together over this very holy time. I am touched, amazed and still flying high from everything we did, from rituals to just sitting around, and tonight as the last of the non-locals left us, I watched that door close and the door to Year 11 fully open.

May each of you find much blessing in this new year upon us. I can't wait to hear your stories about the celebrations, whether you celebrated here in Chicago with us, or on your own all over the world.

Dua Sekhmet! Dua Djehuty! Dua Nekhbet! Dua Nut! Dua Behdety! Dua Heru-wer! Dua Hethert! Dua Wep Ronpet! Nekhtet!

Thought for the Day:
"Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession....Do that which is assigned to you, and you cannot hope too much or dare too much."

Feast of the Dressing, Day 7
Feast of the Seat of the First Time, Day 7
Birth of Ra and All Gods

Welcome to year 11!

The rituals have been done properly and our year has renewed. It's been a day of happiness, much work and even a miracle or two....and we're all here thinking of all of you as we ring in the New Year with a day of great celebration.

Accept our love and blessings as the gods are refreshed, the land is renewed and Zep Tepi begins again.

Wishing you all were here.....

This evening, after the God's Dances and a ceremony for Hethert and the Akhu, Aset came to greet us as the time shifted into Her birthday. She brought love and many messages for Her children, and promises a new and beautiful year to come, belonging to Her and Her sister, Nebt-het: a year where anything can happen and we will need to keep our focus on what we want to bring into being.

May the Great of Magic, Mistress of the Throne, give you many insights on Her day of birth.

Feast of the Seat of the First Time, Day 4

Storms came in to awaken the Red Lord, Son of Nut, Great of Strength at the prow of Ra's bark.

Look up and see the reddening dawn, and know His latest fight with the Uncreated has been won.

Give offering to the Sky-Shaker today and know strength, stamina and power unleashed.

Dua Set! Nekhtet!

Thought for the Day:
