#Dua Netjeru

[kemetnefret]

That last one hit hard Dua Netjeru

Yes it's normal for the sun to rise every day.

Yet I have faith Ra watches over me.

Yes it's normal for cows to graze.

Yet I have faith Hathor watches over me.

Yes it's normal for falcons to be perched.

Yet I have faith Horus watches over me.

Yes it's normal for storms to thunder.

Yet I have faith Set watches over me.

Yes it's normal for stray cats to wander.

Yet I have faith Bastet watches over me.

Yes it's normal for the moon to change.

Yet I have faith Djehuty watches over me.

Yes it's normal that I will die some day.

Yet I have faith Anubis watches over me.

Dua Netjeru.

Dua Abaset

Mysterious One, lost to history

Beloved of Isis, your name will not be forgotten

Dua Abaset, the Prickly One

[daughterofsekhmet-bast]

Butterflies are important to my spirituality. My spirits and the divine have a habit of sending me butterflies when I need reassurance and support.

Today I got some hard news. The kind of hard news that hurts right down to your soul. Right after I hang up the phone, a beautiful monarch flutters right overhead. It felt special. Then, only 30 minutes later, a butterfly flies my way just as I’m getting off from work. It crawled onto the ground and sat there while I crouched down next to it. It didn’t move an inch. I was even able to touch it, just barely, before flew off to a nearby flower.

Sometimes I forget that the universe is full of love. That there are spirits and divinities out there who genuinely and deeply love me. These experiences help remind me.

Whoever sent those butterflies- thank you.

OMFG???

I know this isn't ninjago guys but I finished this 17 hour painting for my art class and I was proud of it so...enjoy.

I love Egypt fun fact about me. :)

Grew up making religion my entire life

Left that religion and refused to let any faith consume me

Overcomes my anxiety and starts my personal practice in general witchcraft

Starts working with Lady Isis, falls in love with kemeticism

But now, the hard part. Taking back down the strict walls I put up when my childhood religion wounded me. It is not a failure if I want my life to be for the gods. Because it is for me, for my health and wellbeing. It is what makes me happy, not a pastor or my family. It is okay if I'm more comfortable with a rigid religious structure, because it is for me. And the Netjeru want what is best for their child, not what will give them the most praise. And that is why I adore and worship them, so much more than the one before.

Thank you, Lady Isis, Father Ra, Just Ma'at. Thank you for setting me free ♡

Thinking about the desert (Image description: An image of the Sahara desert with a silhouette of the Egyptian God Sutekh, he has a glitched effect around his body with a lush green tree masked inside his silhouette. He appears to be holding a glowing orb depicting the sun. There is text from top to bottom which reads, "long ago my storms fed generations, who lay beside one another looking upon my endless night. but you must understand, you must understand, the world will tilt, the crops will wither, and the sun will swallow you all. many will not understand the purpose of a desert, they will reap what it sows while they curse it for its effort. You are not the first. You are not the last. You just are. Description end.)

Another depiction of the Mother Universe. Dua Nut!

[houseaestra]

Bastet, Lady of Light, may you touch the life of the animal shelter worker, picking another litter from the cold of the streets to the arms of the domestic.

Nut, Holder of Stars, may you watch and hold the life of the woman who walks in the dark, to her home, to her car, to the bar, to her safely in bed.

Ma’at, Revealer of the Dishonest, may your justice reign for that who has given his freedom to uphold the needs of the working class.

Sekhmet, Who is Powerful, may your claws find the backs of those who wish to separate we who have not from those who have beyond.

That resonates with my Experience with the Great God Sutekh! Thank you for sharing, I will post my Wonderful Experience soon!

The Netjeru: A Love Beyond Time

“Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star…”

- E.E. Cummings

I’ve seen a lot of posts online from people new to Kemeticism worried about angering the Netjeru, particularly Set. I just read Akhret’s answer to a question about Set being violent and cruel that prompted me to write this. Consider this essay, if you will, heavy on the side of UPG. It is not my aim to invalidate anyone’s experiences, but to provide insight and clarity.

When I was two years old, I was playing in the living room while my mom watched TV. There was a documentary about Egyptian mummies on National Geographic that caught my attention. I still remember turning my head away from my toys to see the image of an ancient stone sarcophagus surrounded by vibrant paintings along the walls. In that moment something primal awakened within me, an understanding of many, many incarnations in Kemet. When I began practicing trancework I could revisit some of those lives, the result of which was a comfortable familiarity with the Netjeru.

In my opinion, if a deity comes into your awareness, it most likely wasn’t you that initiated. They have likely been “around” until you finally noticed. By the time you said your first prayer, created a devotional, or presented an offering the last thing the deity would feel would be surprised. Much like a parent, They are nothing if not patient. Secondly, in many cases when one comes into the service of the Netjeru in a present-day incarnation it is likely yet another in a very long line.

I believe that the Kemetic deities, like those of many other pantheons, have been with us since our hominid ancestors began to walk upright about four to six million years ago. The straightening of the spine likely resulted in a change in awareness as the early hominids were forced to look forward not just in terms of space but time as well. Suddenly, there was a future to behold.

We must have appeared as infants to the Gods, taking our first steps onto the grand cosmic stage. What parent would not be overjoyed and proud to witness that first embarkation? They walked with us both on Earth and in the Halls of Amenti (mind you, I am aware the Ancient Egyptians did not believe in the transmigration of souls, hence the advisement of UPG!).

I completely understand why some would be afraid of angering pagan deities. A lot of us came from households and communities where paganism and witchcraft are synonymous with devil worship. Like Akhret, I must insist that the Netjeru love us unconditionally. Now, would we occasionally get into fights or cross boundaries? Would one of our offerings or devotionals be rejected? Would we cross a line that, theurgically-speaking, would be difficult to reconcile? To all of these I would answer “yes.”

What I must ask you to remember, however, is that in addition to having such boundless love for us, the Netjeru possess a perception of time that is very different from ours. They can wait however many incarnations are required for us to reach a level of catharsis or understanding that would allow us to bridge the gap between us and Them. The greatest offering one can give to the Netjeru is of one’s very human experience. Through us, the Netjeru can experience cuisine, the arts, emotional highs and lows, great triumphs and losses, profound inventions, star-crossed loves, or the birth of a child.

Their love is not conditional, however. Our very existence is precious to them, not as currency but much in the way that parent values their children, so much so that it’s not far-fetched in the slightest to consider a deity more of a mother or father than one’s actual parents. That being said, I agree with Akhret in that the Netjeru would never incite visions or dreams involving violence or cruel acts. It is entirely outside of Their character and if you are experiencing such then there may be an underlying problem elsewhere. Even more so, any form of relationship whether divine or not isn't a substitute for seeking help with one's mental health.

Those are my two cents on the matter. It is my sincere hope that it dispels some fear and worry about the Netjeru that you might have.

Dua Netjeru!

Feeling inspired. In the words of mother Sekhmet, given to me by a dear friend (via divination years ago). "You can't stop the waves, learn to surf."

We will surf. We will build boats strong enough to sail to shore. The waves are mighty, but so is our resolve. Heart of steel, iron will. 💪🏼🫀 in which that iron was forged in the fires of chaos. To forge is to create a weapon out of unity of what you have (the material) and the tool (the mind). Wielded by the blacksmith, with drive in their mighty hand. We'll all be okay. 🔥
