The Capacity of a Kemetic Scribe – Part 2

March 31, 2023

  Life moves faster than I can blog! Occasionally, the pace of life affects my ability to write in the capacity of a Kemetic scribe. Some of these are stressful events, like uni, and others are happy events, like getting married! But first, let’s start with a little disclaimer: The last time I provided a personal update on Kemetic Blog, it resulted in a personal attack from an…

She Who Gleams Like Faience in the Sun

February 28, 2023

    Like many of my posts, this one will focus on a Subjective Mystical Experience and Encounter I had, which occurred approximately one year ago. Perhaps a little more. It’s a story I’ve been sitting with and nurturing at times, then leaving it alone and letting it breathe at others. The main question I’ve been pondering sporadically for the past year has been, is she ready yet?…

Book Review of Profane Egyptologists: The Modern Revival of Ancient Egyptian Religion by Paul Harrison — Part Three

January 30, 2023

  It’s with great pleasure that I delve back into Paul Harrison’s book, Profane Egyptologists. If you’re already familiar with my book reviews at Kemetic Blog, you’ll have noticed they’re quite a slow burn. This is not a reflection on the books I review but rather, on my schedule as a full-time shift worker, part-time student and free-time blogger. Not to mention a dog dad and husband to…

Communing with the Full Moon and a Very Special Baboon

January 8, 2023

  Last night, I communed with the full moon and a very special baboon, (that would be Thoth, or Djehuty of course, in none other than his baboon form). The full moon rose between branches of Australian native paperbarks outside my window, and I was so incredibly grateful that I was able to be there to witness it and be part of it. I had worked on Christmas…

A Simple Summer Solstice

December 21, 2022

  It may seem abstract to those residing in the Northern Hemisphere that here in the Southern half of the planet, December 21st (or 22nd – 23rd) marks the Summer Solstice. I kinda look at our summer solstice like this, since I just finished watching Wednesday on Netflix and have become partially influenced by Jenna Ortega: while the normies are up there celebrating the birth of light in…

Introducing Kemetic Blog’s New Facebook Page

December 18, 2022

    A Facebook Page for Kemetic Blog was long overdue. Here it is, finally! Believe it or not, I don’t find it particularly easy to toot my own horn. As a blogger, you’re already putting yourself out there and only doing yourself a disservice if you have no social media presence. I was on Twitter for a while, but I’m not updating that account at the moment.…

Have yourself a Kemetic Christmas: Making mainstream holidays work for you as a Kemetic practitioner

December 14, 2022

  This is my third Christmas as a Kemetic. While not a vastly long time, it’s been long enough for me to learn a thing or two about how I want to celebrate the holiday season. Rather than abandoning the mainstream, I’ve opted to create my own Kemetic Christmas holiday. Each year, I experiment with different ways of adapting themes and concepts from ancient Egyptian religion and introducing…

A/pop/his, the Evil One: An Encounter with the Ancient Egyptian Devil

October 31, 2022

  My encounter with A/pop/his, the Evil One, or A/pep occurred thirteen years ago. A convenient time frame for the Halloween season, I know. This is the first time I’ve ever felt ready to share it. Known as the Eater of Souls in ancient Egypt, A/pop/his, the Evil One is said to have fought and lost battles against Ra, the sun god, in an attempt to disrupt and…

Kemetic Spirituality for Beginners: How to Get Started in Egyptian Neo-Paganism – Part 4 of 4

September 30, 2022

  Heka — or ancient Egyptian magic — goes hand in hand with Kemetic spirituality. In fact, it’s hard to separate one from the other. Perhaps that’s because the ancient Egyptians lived in a world infused with magic.  In this fourth and final instalment of Kemetic Spirituality for Beginners, I’d like to demystify the mystical as much as possible, just as my teachers once did for me. The…
