#Egyptians EXPLAIN

[door]

because of my home town's proximity to washington, d.c., i went to school with a lot of diplomats' kids. in kindergarten (age 5), my best friend was a girl called nadia, who was egyptian. her family moved back to egypt at the end of the school year, but for that year we were inseparable. friendship with her introduced me to a lot of firsts, like the fact that her family lived in a townhouse (i'd never been inside one before) and some really good food. specifically, her mom made biscuits which were unlike anything i'd ever eaten.

i came home from her house once and begged my mom to ask her mom for the biscuit recipe. we were a Bisquick house, and i loved making biscuits with my mom, but they simply could NOT compare to egyptian biscuits. my mom asked me what was special about them. they had LAYERS, delicate and delicious. nadia and i would sit and peel them back one by one. my mom thought maybe this was a kind of pastry she'd never heard of. she asked around. she checked out a book from the library. i insisted that nothing she showed me was correct. finally, the next time she picked me up from nadia's house, she asked her mom--WHAT were these egyptian biscuits??

nadia's mother was very confused and then very amused. she took my mom to the kitchen and opened the fridge.

TEHY'RE SO CUTEEEEE!!! I JUST FINISHED DRAWING THEM IN MY STYLE!!! SHOULD I POST IT??!

You drew fanart of my blorbos? 😭😭😭 You shouldn't have 😭😭😭 Yes please, I'd love to see how they look in your style, I bet they look great!!! Better than mine, probably lol!

If you haven't colored them in yet, may I offer some help with that? I gave them specific color schemes (and used a color generator to help visualize them lol. That's kind of stupid, I know, but it helped me a lot personally)

Here's Pepper Jack's:

There are supposed to be little bits of red and orange in his hair as a reference to how pepper jack cheese actually looks. He's brown like Golden Cheese is, but lighter. He's got red eyes like Burning Spice does, too (no slit pupils though, just normal eyes)

I labeled these all as "wings" because I have, like... a sort of gradient in mind, you know? They're mostly blue with a bit of grey/silver mixed in, that gradually lightens to white. (Again, this is for an honest reason. I know it's weird, but I didn't make them blue just because, I swear.) Also, that blue on the far right - you know how Golden has those little triangles on the tips of her wings? I thought of Jack having those, too. Little bright blue triangles that stand out against the white. Idk if that would actually look good, but that's an idea I had... He might look better without them tbh lol. (Also, the skirt is blue, too. Blue with white trim and a black belt. And the bracelet, anklet and sandals are gold)

Here's Matar Paneer's:

I wanted her to be orange because matar paneer (the actual dish) is orange. The eyes are a nod to her mom and to the "cheese" part of the food she takes after ("paneer" is the name of the cheese used in it, it's a type of goat cheese that's a lighter yellow). She pretty much stole Burning Spice's hair, color and texture and everything lol. I'm still debating how to color the dress tbh... idk whether to do a red blouse and a yellow skirt or vice versa. (Also, spoiler, Paneer gets tattoos when she's older lol. Some of them are just like Spice's, some are entirely original (won't spoil those just yet))

Didn't want too much green anywhere, just the trim honestly. Like the hem of her skirt or... certain stitches or something. "Matar" refers to green peas, so I figured she ought to have at least some amount of green in her look. (Plus she has little green earrings that look like green peas!) Again, still not sure about the dress. Her primary color is red (both because of Spice and for another reason), so I want red to be the most prominent thing. Been leaning towards yellow blouse w/ red sleeves + red skirt, but idk. You're welcome to experiment lol. Nvm that one color there, idk what to do with it anymore. Maybe it would be better for the tattoos? Maybe it would contrast against her skin better? The fuck kind of name is "chocolate cosmos" lmao

Also, I wanted there to be some sort of design or pattern on her skirt. Pattu pavadai often has that (look it up, they're all very cute. Indian women's fashion is so cool honestly). I was thinking, like... little cheesebirds or lotus flowers or something. Or hieroglyphs. One of those. (Also, she has gold bracelets on both wrists. I didn't draw them because I didn't think they'd be seen properly with the way she's holding the katar)

Sorry for rambling, I did warn you all that I would talk about these little guys forever lol. I'm extremely flattered that you wanted to draw them, I can't wait to see what you did with them ❤️

When you tell people they should be sending every spare penny to their chosen Gaza fundraiser or they are Bad. But then it all gets a bit too stressful so you have to leave tumblr. :(

[convexicalcrow]

Oh? How normal are we about Pharaoh Cub?

Okay look. You gotta understand. I've been interested in ancient Egpyt since I was a kid. It's my longest-running special interest/hyperfixation, so much so that I've been practicing ancient Egyptian religion for over twenty years. It's something that's very, very precious to me, bc it's so personal to me, and bc I'm who I am, my knowledge of this stuff is arguably higher than the average person. This makes any kind of media about ancient Egypt actually not that interesting to me bc my brain will Not shut up about inaccuracies, so I tend to avoid them bc of that.

(I could go on about my issues with ancient Egyptian themed media, but I won't, that's a whole 'nuther essay frfr.)

(Also I hope you like infodumping, anon, bc that's what I'm about to do :D)

That said, I've actually written a whole lot of Egyptian myth rewrites, as well as ancient Egyptian stories exploring all kinds of various topics. I have some published on an old blog of mine, but some I never finished for various reasons. It's a whole thing. It's been a whole thing for me for a very, very long time.

So, you're me, someone with a more than average knowledge of and interest in ancient Egypt, and you've just become a Cub fan in s8 bc that was my first Hermitcraft season. I had heard about the pyramid, and Pharaoh Cub, and I was both SO INTERESTED but also actually quite hesitant to watch Cub's s7, bc I didn't want to be disappointed if he messed it up or did something wrong that caused my brain to Disagree. Again, very irrational bc my brain do be like that, but also based on previous experiences of seeing ppl just taking the aesthetics and doing whatever with it, and screw historical accuracy.

(Honestly, this is, like, my One (1) critism with the lore TrixyBlox built into the USW map. Can we Not have evil pharaohs plz just for once. ;_;)

I wanted to trust Cub, bc I'd seen the research that went into the canyon build. He's a smart dude. He cares about getting those kinda details right. And I did genuinely want to see how he approached the pyramid build and how he was going to use it as a base. But again, SO HESITANT. bc what if my blorbo messes it up and ruins the whole thing for me bc m brain is Stupid about this sort of thing. ;_;

But I'm so glad I trusted Cub when I did get around to watching s7, bc I fell in love with the pyramid. The fact that he cared about making it as life-size as possible, but also that he took an approach of taking what works, but also making it his own, and making it fit into the minecraft world. Like, using Standard Galactic for hieroglyphs! I loved that small little detail! It makes so much sense to use it that way.

Like, my very-not-srs gripes about the Pharaoh skin and its weird sleeves aside, his approach was very much how a lot of Egyptian pagans approach things today. Take what works, or what makes sense, and adapt it to where we currently are in the world and what we have access to. And I could tell from how he talked about it throughout the season that he really had done his research. And just- The Morning and The Evening Sun/Star epithet he gave himself like!!!!

Like, it's the little things, like the lapis roof, the stars - including Sirius!, the most important one bc its rising heralds the flood of the Nile and the new year - on the ceiling in the bedroom, the statue room and the way he built those five statues to represent aspects of himself (I cannot stress enough how much I adored those statues), allll the little tunnels and sekrit passageways, and the cartouche on the wall with his name in SGA and using SGA in the museum room, the treasure room with its traps, and the tomb of the Pharaoh himself. Like. It was such a perfect blend of Cub and Egyptian stuff. 10/10. I can find no faults. Although I do want to go back and finish the oasis room at some point. Make it a healing pool room with a shrine or two in it. Something like that.

Like, I had my doubts, but I trusted Cub and his process, and I was right to do so. It cemented Cub as my favourite Hermit at that point, bc he took my special interest and did it justice. And that's why I'm Very Normal about Pharaoh Cub.

But there are also other aspects too! Pyramids were designed to be tombs, and that's where the Pharaoh was left to rest at the end of s7. Which seems very appropriate, given where Hermitcraft went after that.

The reason I fixate so much on this is that there's this Egyptian underworld book called the Book of Caverns, that describes the King's journey through the underworld. It's not as well-known as the Book of the Dead, but the reason I keep coming back to it is because of Cub's canyon in s8. Where he built everything in little caverns in the canyon itself. And with the change of skin to young Cub, my brain just cannot let go of the idea of s8 being Pharaoh Cub's journey through the underworld, culminating with the final battle against the serpent we do not name so we do not give it power (a/p/o/p/h/i/s) that is here manifested in s8 as Moon Big. It's not a perfect metaphor, and I won't pretend it is. Especially bc while Cub escapes, the world is destroyed, and that's not necessarily accurate. But! He still escapes! He uses all his knowledge and resources that he's gained through his journey through the underworld to escape. To rise again in s9 as the new sun.

AND AND AND the fact that in s9 PHARAOH CUB DID ACTUALLY RETURN. Only now, we have the Pharaoh as a distinct entity. A divine akh/ancestor, a master magician, one who is clever and wiley like Thoth and who loves playing games and playing pranks. (Thoth is a trickster, and a very smart one.) And to have the distinction between Pharaoh Cub, who is a god, and mortal Cub, who is just Cub, like.

(Cub and his possession kink is also a whole 'nuther essay frfr)

That distinction makes sense in an Egyptian theological framework. Once the Pharaoh dies, they become divine akhu/ancestors. Very few were Actually Deified in a way we would recognise, but Cub is still not wrong when he calls the Pharaoh a god. The Pharaoh was a conduit between the people and the gods. He acted as the only high priest of the religion. He became King by hosting the Kingly Ka, the divine soul of Horus that legitimises their rule. This Ka/soul, has been with every king before it, and all the kings are attached/accessed through it. Kings live forever, after all. My own personal religious work has involved various Kings and Queens and working with them. (Not the most famous ones, tho, it's mostly the Sobek ones bc I worship Sobek first and foremost.)(Sobek being a crocodile god, a strong protector, and a god who was incorporated in Horus at one stage and gained Kingship attributes from that.)

And so it makes so much sense for the Pharaoh to be a separate entity now. The old man died, bc Cub is mortal, and ba/eternal soul of Cub was reborn into a new, younger body, with a whole new ka. Everyone has a ka, it is the soul that belongs to a particular lifetime and is the one that goes through judgement after death. The ba is eternal, and can have many kau/souls throughout its existence.

And bc the Pharaoh has died and become an akh, he can be contacted and manifest in the world again through the mortal Cub. The fact that Cub never actually changed the Pharaoh skin to reflect his younger self? It still has the old man's face? Like. This helps the distinction work. They're two different souls. This is theologically sound. And honestly I never imagined the Pharaoh lore would get to that point. But here we are, in s9, and we have the Pharaoh and mortal Cub, and I am Just So Normal about this bc I thought I'd missed my chance at Pharaoh Cub bc I only started watching in s8. BUT NO. s9 came along and is like, would you like some more Pharaoh Cub? and it's eating my brain like. oh my gods.

And also like, the Vex Magic Grimoire I've been working on? Canonically (to me), it's being written by Pharaoh Cub. Once the ConVex and ConCorp shenanigans settled down, and Cub had space to really focus on his magic, that's when he starts working on the grimoire. bc almost all Pharaohs were also master magicians. They had to be! It was part of their work as high priest and conduit for the gods. So Cub has Pharaoh magic on top of Vex magic, and in working through his new powers, decides to start recording down all he knows about Vex magic. Scar does some as well, but it is intended to be mostly Cub.

(I have an ask I STILL have not got around to about the Pharaoh's magic, and I will save a longer discussion for that there. I will get to it, I promise, anon! It's just taken a while to get my thoughts in order. <3)

It's like, in Pharaoh Cub, I can combine my love of writing about Egyptian things with my current hyperfixation on Cub, and it's so much fun omg. Cub doesn't do deep lore the way someone like Sausage does (again, whole 'nuther essay lol), but there's enough there to make a really good story, and build up these aspects of his character and make a really coherent story out of it.

And with Pharaoh Cub, I can explore all kinds of things that maybe don't work with other characters. Like death! In a way that doesn't really happen in minecraft bc players just respawn. Permanent death is something I've really only encountered on Empires, not Hermitcraft. But with the Pharaoh dying and being laid to rest in his pyramid? Like. That's something to work with. There's lore there to explore. Old Man Cub coming to terms with dying and what happens afterwards. and bc like. idk if anyone has actually ever written Old Man Cub as an actual Old Man. But as someone who's approaching 40, and has their own chronic pain stuff to deal with, like? Maybe I see it differently. Maybe I want to approach Old Man Cub as an old man. And maybe the Old Man dying as Pharaoh, and being reborn into a younger body is one way to do that.

Sure, it may not be the most popular fics for ppl. Maybe ppl are more interested in my other works. But I don't care. It's all my special interests in one place and I'm having the time of my life. :D

Even if I STILL don't know what to do with the journey through the afterlife!s8 caverns idea. Maybe one day I will find the right spark to do that idea justice. <3

[void-writing]

Me as a teenager before I read about Egypt and Old Egypt: Oh, that's neat, Presly is a reborn prince.

Me after reading up: Oh. Oh dear. Something went deeply wrong since Rapses' soul is still on Earth rather than in the Afterlife!

I KNOW RIGHT!!

I need to rewatch the full series again (because I am to the point that I am starting to conflate details from the original canon and my own canon) but I'm certain that it's implied that Scarab went full "Set with Osiris' corpse" on Rapses' corpse (maybe to get at Rapses' now trapped soul after Scarab killed him, or to spite Amenhotep and the Guardians' efforts by denying Rapses his eternal rest), which is why Amenhotep had nothing to bury but an empty sarcophagus :(

Making sure that the body is properly mummified and buried is a BIG STINKING DEAL in ancient Egypt and if the body was lost or destroyed then the spirit wouldn't be able to find its way! Destroying the body (or the khat, as it was referred to) is like smashing the spirit's compass to pieces! It can't pass into the afterlife and become lost without the familiar touchstone of its earthly body!

(Honestly, really makes me wonder about what the procedure was for war times because I doubt the war dead could always be found, identified, and mummified before burial. Did ancient Egypt have their own version of dog tags? Did their beliefs have a loophole/special exception for dead soldiers whose bodies couldn't be recovered or treated? Were they just screwed if no one recovered their body before decomposition set in or the scavengers got to it? Another avenue of research to add to the ever growing pile, I suppose)

This is what I interpret to be the reason that Rapses' spirit wandered for so long. Poor boy was super lost!

So lost that he somehow managed to wander clear to the other side of the world and end up reincarnated in modern times. (Honestly, I'm unclear about how ancient Egyptian mythos regarded the idea of reincarnation. I'll have to do further research but I don't have time rn sadly, but from what I do know, it's not completely out of the realm of possibility)

[mama-mera]

okay you know what? I think it's time for me to take advantage of the release of the Percy Jackson series to talk a little about the relationship between the Greek and Roman gods, because I have a feeling that we're going to have a new generation of people who are convinced that the Romans "stole" the gods of the Greeks and... um, I feel the need to talk and analyze this thing with you. Because the matter is much more complicated than you think

Like SERIOUSLY, the pjo fandom and Greco-Roman mythology enthusiasts in general need this chat.

First of all it is important to understand how the Italic populations came into contact with Greek culture, and who the first Romans were.

Southern Italy (Sicily, Calabria, Campania and Puglia) was colonized by the Greeks since the 8th century BC.

Like any colonization, the local population had to adapt to the culture, religion and language of the colonizer (in Italy there are still two dialects coming from ancient Greek. Griko in Puglia, and Grecanico in Calabria). Every part of the territory considered Magna Graecia (Megàle Hellàs) presents archaeological finds relating to the Greek colonies, and with them also temples dedicated to the gods. (So much so that in Sicily, at the beginning of spring the Antesphorie (or antephorie) were celebrated in honor of Demeter and Persephone, for example).

The entire Etruscan pantheon was strongly influenced by the Greek one. The indigenous deities were joined by the Hellenic ones, creating a new religion.

But still: who were the Romans? The legend of the foundation of Rome refers to Romulus and Remus, but from an archaeological point of view the Romans were probably the result of a mixture of Latin, Sabine (plus Samnites and Sabelli*) and Etruscan peoples. The latter influenced the initial Roman Pantheon the most. Just think of the similarities between the Etruscan goddess Menrva/Menerva and the Roman goddess Minerva.

The same applies to Maris and Mars, who among other things share holidays in March (a month dedicated to them moreover).

Unfortunately there is not much information on the Sabine and Latin ethnic group, but it is known for certain that Etruscans had contact with Magna Graecia, and the Greeks in general, so their culture was never unknown to the Romans.

So what does this tell us? That the Italic populations knew the Greek Pantheon, because they had been colonized and/or influenced by the Greeks. The first Romans can't exactly steal something that's already part of their culture.

*Samnites, Sabelli and Sabines were part of the same ethnic group, and although all three groups can generally be called "Sabines", I preferred to specify. At the same time it is not known how involved the Picenes and Irpinians were initially with the birth of Rome, so I have not mentioned them.

Ancient Egyptian Magic: Spells, Amulets, and Rituals from One of the Oldest Magical Traditions

When you think of Egypt, you might picture grand pyramids, mysterious hieroglyphs, and powerful pharaohs. But did you know that magic was a huge part of daily life in Ancient Egypt? 

From protective amulets to powerful spells, Egyptians had a deep belief in the supernatural and weren’t shy about using it to navigate their world.

Magic in Everyday Life: The Power of Heka

First things first—let’s talk about Heka. In Ancient Egypt, Heka wasn’t just a concept; it was considered the divine force that made magic possible.

Egyptians believed that Heka was a gift from the gods that could heal, protect, and even influence events. Everyone from the highest priest to the everyday farmer believed in the power of Heka and used it in their daily lives.

Amulets: Tiny Objects, Big Power

One of the coolest aspects of Egyptian magic was their use of amulets. These were small objects, often shaped like animals or symbols, that people wore or carried to protect themselves.

The Egyptians believed that these amulets were infused with magical properties that could ward off evil, bring good luck, or even help in the afterlife.

Some of the most popular amulets included:

The Ankh Symbolizing life and immortality, this cross-like symbol was one of the most powerful amulets.

The Eye of Horus Known as the “Wadjet,” this amulet offered protection and healing.

The Scarab Representing the sun god Ra, this beetle-shaped amulet was believed to bring rebirth and regeneration.

These amulets were often placed in tombs to protect the deceased in the afterlife, but they were also worn in daily life to keep the wearer safe from harm.

Spells and Incantations: Words of Power

The Egyptians took their spells seriously. These weren’t just a bunch of random words—they were carefully crafted incantations that called upon gods and goddesses for help.

These spells were often written on papyrus, carved into tombs, or inscribed on everyday objects.

One famous collection of spells is known as the Book of the Dead. Despite its spooky name, this wasn’t a book about death but rather a guide for the deceased to navigate the afterlife.

It contained spells to protect the soul on its journey and ensure a safe passage to the afterlife.

There were also spells for everyday problems. Whether you needed protection from a snake bite, help with a love interest, or success in a business deal, there was likely a spell for that.

The key was in the words themselves—Egyptians believed that speaking these words aloud had the power to make things happen.

Rituals: Connecting with the Divine

Rituals were another major part of Egyptian magic. These were elaborate ceremonies often performed by priests in temples, but sometimes by individuals at home.

The purpose of these rituals varied—some were meant to honor the gods, others to ensure a good harvest, and some were even designed to control the forces of nature.

One of the most famous rituals was the Opening of the Mouth ceremony. This was performed on the deceased to restore their senses in the afterlife, allowing them to eat, drink, and speak again.

It’s a powerful example of how seriously the Egyptians took the idea of life after death and the role of magic in ensuring it.

The Legacy of Egyptian Magic

So, why does all this matter today? Well, Ancient Egyptian magic has had a huge influence on the world. Many of the symbols, rituals, and ideas from Ancient Egypt have made their way into other cultures and even into modern spiritual practices.

Whether you’re fascinated by history or just love the idea of ancient wisdom, there’s a lot we can learn from the Egyptians and their magical traditions.

At the end of the day, Egyptian magic is a reminder that humans have always been searching for ways to connect with the world around them, to find meaning, and to protect themselves from the unknown. And honestly, that’s something that never really goes out of style.

Until next time, friends. Stay curious, keep exploring, and remember—magic is everywhere if you know where to look!

Hope its okay that I came from ur other blog but I wanted to ask how I would get started learning Hieroglyphics? Thanks!

uhhh ok so. firstly bear in mind that i am no expert. i've just finished a year of hieroglyph and middle egyptian classes but before that i had to teach myself

the thing i cannot recommend enough above all else is how to read egyptian hieroglyphs by mark collier and bill manley. try and get your hands on this, as well as a copy of james p allen's middle egyptian dictionary (which used to be available as a pdf online so i'd look into that). i've used them more than any other resource when translating stuff

if you can't get actual in-person lessons, i'd recommend just doing what i did in the beginning and going through the first book i mentioned in order, taking notes and going over the exercises until each part makes enough sense for you to move onto the next one

you can also take free virtual lessons on this website but i only used that whilst i was waiting for my book to arrive because they don't go into very much detail. they're a good starting point if you need something quick and costless, though. just don't expect them to give you enough knowledge to actually start reading full inscriptions or texts. you'll definitely need something more comprehensive for that

i realise this is not particularly detailed but i didn't want to overwhelm you because there are so many resources out there and i personally think it's better to just stick with one method first and see if it works for you. if you want any more specific information or tips or recommendations feel free to shoot me another ask or message me <3

Greek Mythology

Myths in Greek culture served multiple purposes, explaining natural phenomena, origins of the world, and the relationship between gods and mortals. They also explored moral and philosophical concepts, reflecting the complexities of human nature and the consequences of pride and hubris.

Know About Your Archetypes

Recurring patterns or universal symbols known as archetypes are present in the human collective unconscious. They stand for universally understood, historically pervasive human experiences, feelings, and actions. These archetypes provide a framework for mythology, narrative, and the human mind. 

The Hero is an important archetype. The journey of a protagonist who embarks on a transforming mission and encounters difficulties is represented by the Hero archetype. This archetype stands for the capacity for progress, bravery, and resistance to adversity in people. The Hero's journey frequently includes a summons to action, a mentor figure, a pivotal conflict, and a return with fresh insight or a priceless gift.          The Trickster is another well-known archetype. The figure who disturbs the status quo and defies authority is the Trickster archetype, who is crafty and mischievous. This archetype personifies the disorganized and erratic elements of human nature. The Trickster frequently acts as a catalyst for change and transformation, dismantling established laws and customs to introduce fresh viewpoints and opportunities.

The Wise Old Man/Woman archetype, last but not least, stands for knowledge, wisdom, and direction. Typically, an older, wiser person who possesses profound insight and understanding is shown as this archetype. The protagonist receives guidance and advice from the Wise Old Man/Woman, who also acts as a mentor or counselor. This archetype stands for the value of learning from the past, the pursuit of knowledge, and self-discovery.

Because they appeal to common human emotions and experiences, archetypes are potent storytelling devices that captivate audiences. They offer a conceptual framework for comprehending the complexity of both human nature and the environment. Storytellers and individuals can draw on the rich reservoir of universal understanding and produce narratives that connect with audiences by knowing and utilizing archetypes.
