Old work-in-progress shot of me working on "Anubis" back in 2014. Such a handsome fellow <3 The finished piece is here

[vertinventingventacular]

I cannot believe this new discovery I just freaking made

I can't explain it properly but think of it as this:

Apollo and Sekhmet are both sun gods and they are just the different versions of the same person.

I think this, because I was talking to Apollo as usual since Sekhmet wasn't around (as usual) using the Pendulum

And it sort of clicked in my mind that I reached out to both of them (I thought they were the ones who reached out to me, but I was wrong)

(Apollo because I thought the tiktoks I keep seeing of him were signs and Sekhmet because I took an online test about who was reaching out)

And I asked if Sekhmet and Apollo were the same person but was formed based on the different beliefs of the people

And the Pendulum swung yes. Like omf-gods

Punishment (Darkness pt. 1)

“Hurting someone is easy…..But healing? You wouldn’t know about that, now would you?”

Alone. That’s what you first felt when you entered the world. When the first winds produced by the primordial goddess sent you to the Egyptian dunes scorched over by her light, when your eyes had opened for the first time, when the only thing shielding your eyes from the fiery ball of madness in the sky was the sun goddess herself.

Am-Heh, that was the name spoken in fear by many, even by Ra herself. Once a goddess which you trusted, which had suddenly banished you to the underworld.

Devourer of millions, Eater of enternity, The One in the Dark. As much as these titles swelled you with honor, as much hurt and pain they stabbed in your heart.

But now, those times of sorrow and pain are now over. Trapped in the underworld as you were, you didn’t have much to complain. You sat in your lake of fire and scorching lava, watching the bubbles blow from time to time, chatting your days away with whatever poor soul you could find, which had maybe gotten lost from the field of reeds, or escaped Osiris’s watchful eye. Your boredom however, was increasing moon by moon. And trust me, the dark confines of the land of the dead were really starting to piss you off. That was, of course, until you heard a scream.

Screams here were rare, since there were only dead people, who had nothing more to fear. Well, that was except for the newcomers who failed the weighing of the soul test. But of course, they never let out screams that loud.

You grabbed your headdress, pulling on your black shendyt, as you dried the lava off yourself. You tiptoed towards Osiris’s chambers, not knowing what the incredibly evil pea-looking bastard was up to. He wasn’t there.

I wonder why…

Your eyes gazed towards a hole in the sky, well, what you would call the sky of the underworld. There it was. After millennia of being stuck here. An exit. You crawled out, dragging your whip with you, which you managed to recover from a chest under Osiris’s bed, which hadn’t been hidden quite well.

The stars. You hadn’t seen them in ages. They looked even more beautiful than you remembered.

——— It has been at least a moon or two since you had escaped from the underworld, your betraying lover’s scorching eye searching restlessly for you each day.

“Honestly Ra, give me a break.” You mumbled to yourself, pushing back your grown out hair out of you face.

You groaned to yourself as you pulled the veil over your nose and mouth, preventing the specks of golden sand to creep where they shouldn’t be. Just as you were about to walk over to the Foreign God and complain about the poor condition of the tent which he had you in, you noticed a red haired beauty laying on his bed. If it wasn’t for red hair, you wouldn’t have recognized him in the first place, and yet….. how could you? You barely were there for Nut’s birth, let alone his.

You had only heard rumors, of course. Of the Great Seth, who Osiris was pretty much simping for. Every minute you would spend in your lava bath, casually trying to enjoy your exile as an ex-god, Osiris would strut in, waving his hips like a schoolgirl and twirling his nonexistent hair as he rambled on about how perfect Seth was. Damn. Now you could see why he was so obsessed with him. No wonder he acted like that.

Your thoughts were interrupted by a whistle from behind you, and a friendly shoulder pat.

“Well well, Am-heh. Like what you see?” The Foreign God asked.

“Shut it.” You elbowed him in the ribs. “The tent you gave me is ripped!”

“Awwwww, can’t you handle a little wind?” He teased, his hand tracing your shendyt.

“Paws off, this fine ass belongs to someone else.” You retorted. “And no. Sand has gotten in places I didn’t even know I had in the first place!”

“Alright, alright. You can sleep in my tent tonight, if you’re so insistent.” He winked suggestively.

“You smooth fucker.” You mumbled as you entered the tent, dragging the little luggage you had, only to be interrupted by a groan.

the red haired sleeping beauty was waking up, and he wasn’t exactly pleased.

“What the hell? Don’t you know how to keep quiet for at least half a-“ He stopped himself as soon as his red eyes landed on yours. They widened in horror as he realized what you were, grabbing the nearest object and throwing it in your direction, which happened to be a pillow.

You caught the pillow in one hand, effortlessly before chuckling.

“And who might you be? FG’s little boyfriend?” You teased. “What? You act like you’ve never seen a god before.”

“Y-you…..Y-You!” He stammered out. “You’re him! Am-heh!” He pointed at you, shivering.

“Relax, kid. I’m not gonna hurt you.” You chuckled, reaching to tuck out a red strand of hair which had gotten in Seth’s face.

He pulled away as if he had just been bitten by a venomous snake. He backed up against the wall, staying as far away from you as possible.

“I know about you! I read the scrolls-! And the hieroglyphs on the temple walls! And-“ he raised his voice.

“I know….I know…” you tried to calm him down, putting your hands out in a protective manner. “See? I’m harmless! I can’t do anything.” You showed him you hand, which was marked by a curse.

Its black veins molded in with your skin, the ink-like substance making your very existence a pain in the ass. The little flakes and specks of silver and gold, which had been your only map to the sky in your exile to the underworld. His Ruby red eyes stared at your open palm, his own cursed one reaching out to examine it, only to pull back away.

“I don’t trust you.” He hissed.

“I know.”

Bast (Bastet) is an Egyptian goddess associated with protection, love, joy, music and dance. She is an Eye of Ra, an agent and protector of the sun-god. Bast was originally worshipped in Lower Egypt but was eventually honored throughout the land. She had a particular center of worship in the city of Bubastis (Per-Bast). Bast is depicted here as a woman with the head of a cat. She carries a sistrum, a musical instrument, in one hand and the ankh, a symbol of life, in the other. In her earliest representations Bast was shown with the head of a lioness. She can also be depicted in the full form of a cat.

Bast, devouring lady, mistress of truth and light, preserver of the family, I praise and honor you.

Never underestimate the power of the depictions of divinity. Here is Goddess Maat along with Goddess Isis with the disc with a U shaped symbol. I have always loved seeing Goddess Maat she is the one with the wings. People who feel other faiths and depiction of divinity other than their own are wrong are brainwashed, ignorant and harmful to others and the world. If their was only suppose to be one religion then why are their many?

If the gods existed - Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Hindi - I vote that we turn their lives into one of those nature documentaries. I can see it now.

"It appears that Zeus has found yet another suitable mate. If he does this right, he can make it home to Olympus without making his wife question whether he'd been doing his job or wants to go back to sleeping on the couch."

"Loki has committed another trick. You can tell by the shit-eating grin on his face as he runs from yet another one of his victims."

What Did the Greeks Replace Egyptian Gods’ Names With? Exploring Ancient Cross-Cultural Mythology

The rich tapestry of Ancient Egyptian mythology held profound significance in shaping the beliefs and practices of its people. When the Greeks arrived in Egypt during the Ptolemaic era (332–30 BCE), they brought their own pantheon of gods and beliefs. This cultural exchange led to the merging of mythologies, where many Egyptian gods were assimilated into the Greek pantheon with new names and interpretations.

To dive deeper into how the Greeks redefined Egyptian deities, read the full article: What Did Greek Replace Egyptian Gods’ Names With?.

The Syncretism of Egyptian and Greek Gods

During the Ptolemaic era, Egyptian gods were not entirely replaced but often reinterpreted within the framework of Greek mythology. This syncretism aimed to bridge cultural gaps and unify the diverse populations of Egypt under Greek rule.

Prominent Examples of Syncretism

Amun → Zeus-Amun: The chief Egyptian god Amun was associated with Zeus, the king of the Greek gods. The Greeks often depicted Zeus-Amun with ram horns, symbolizing Amun’s attributes.

Horus → Apollo: Horus, the falcon-headed god of the sky and protection, was equated with Apollo, the Greek god of the sun and healing.

Isis → Demeter or Aphrodite: The revered goddess Isis, symbolizing motherhood and magic, was linked to Demeter (goddess of fertility) and sometimes Aphrodite (goddess of love).

Thoth → Hermes: The ibis-headed Thoth, associated with wisdom and writing, was connected to Hermes, the Greek god of communication and commerce.

Why Did the Greeks Adapt Egyptian Deities?

The assimilation of Egyptian gods into Greek mythology wasn’t merely a gesture of respect; it was also a political strategy. By equating their gods with those of Egypt, the Greeks sought to legitimize their rule and foster harmony among the Egyptian and Greek populations. Temples like the one dedicated to Serapis — a fusion of Osiris and Apis — became symbols of this cultural blending.

Gods & Goddesses of Rebirth & Renewal Around the World

Deities representing the concepts of rebirth and renewal have been a vital aspect of the human condition for thousands of years. Early animistic belief systems venerated the sun, which later became associated with powerful deities, such as Ra of ancient Egypt, as other gods and goddesses were associated with different natural phenomena or life experiences.

Among these, and including those representing the life-giving energies of the sun, are the gods and goddesses specifically associated with rebirth, transformation, and renewal. Some of these, such as Sol Invictus and Saturn of ancient Rome, were celebrated in December through festivals, which influenced the development of Yule (Yuletide) and Christmas traditions, while others were honored through festivals at different times of the year, as in the case of the Hindu goddess Saraswati (also given as Sarasvati) and her Vasant (Basant) Panchami festival in January or February or the Great Dionysia, honoring the ancient Greek god Dionysus, held in March.

The purpose of these deities and their respective festivals was to give hope to the people that, through faith, they could experience transformation and rebirth, meaning and purpose in their daily lives, and – in many cases – freedom from the fear of death in the promise of eternal life beyond the grave.

The following image gallery presents a sample of these deities from around the world, some more famous than others, but all representing the belief in transformation and rebirth through faith in a higher power.

Tayet (Tayt) is an Egyptian goddess of weaving and cloth, including the fine linen worn by the statues of gods in their temples and the linen that wrapped mummies in their tombs. She is depicted here holding out a length of linen.

Tayet who spins the golden flax, pure one who weaves the garment and the shroud, I praise and honor you.
