Areas of Worships

Wadjet was the tutelary goddess of Lower Egypt but her cult center was in Pe and Dep. her shrine was called the per-nu or the ‘House of Flame.’

Cobra statues or imagery of the uraeus.

You can also offer her fire- whether this is imagery, candles, or bonfires.

Information

Wadjet’s name means ‘the fresh one,’ ‘the green one,’ or ‘she of the papyrus.’ Pinch believes this may refer to her embodiment of the constantly renewed vegetation of the marshes. The marshes themselves play a big role in Wadjet’s connection to Horus, though, as this became the place where Isis left her son to find her husband’s corpse. Wadjet and Nekhbet become the wet nurse to Herusaaset, protecting and shielding his body from any evil that may threaten him.

Wadjet was the tutelary goddess of Lower Egypt; whereas Nekhbet was the tutelary goddess of Upper Egypt- together they were know as the ‘two ladies.’ You can see both of them on the Double Crown of Egypt, or the Pschent crown, where they symbolized the unification of the two lands. Pinch suggests that perhaps they were warring opposities, in the same way that Sutekh and Horus are, but no surviving texts survive to back this up.

Wadjet, herself, is the emboidment of the ureaus on the royal headdress. She’s a protective deity of kingship and would spit fire/venom at the enemies of the pharaoh. She can be seen protecting both Re and Wesir, where she protected Re’s solar barque and the corpse of Asar. Her protecting the corpse of Wesir might connect her to being a guardian of the deceased king.

Collecting And Utilizing Magick Charms

My personal charm collection.

Magick charms are small, enchanted objects used for protection, luck, attraction, and spiritual power. Witches, shamans, and mystics have used charms for centuries to enhance spells, manifest intentions, and guard against negative forces. This comprehensive guide will help you collect, store, and use charms effectively in your witchcraft.

What is a Magick Charm?

A magick charm is any object infused with energy or intention to create a desired effect. Unlike talismans (which attract energy) or amulets (which repel energy), charms can do both, depending on their purpose.

This pectoral was found on the mummy of the king Tutankhamun, symbol of the entity of the body. The cobra goddess Wadjet wearing the Red Crown of Lower Egypt “Deshret”, while the vulture goddess Nekhbet wearing the White Crown of the Upper Egypt “Hedjet”.

Sorry if already been done, but I am collapsing inside my brain making up connections between everythinggg.

I think Rogue is an Osirian / descendant of the Osirians? His ship is the most Egyptian thing I ever saw in my life, looks like a falcon - reminiscent of Horus, who I think in the Whoniverse is some hybrid rebirth of Osiris, who competed with Sukhet for leadership of their people? I didn’t read/listen/watch the thing that came from. I remember thinking at the time “that is one Egyptian looking ship, wonder who he nicked it from.”

And the ship is WAITING in orbit around the moon rn. The one who waits - not he/she who waits, but ‘the one’… not a person, but a ship?!

And Mrs Flood! The flooding of the Nile was associated with rebirth, rejuvenation, life… and is made from the tears of Isis, mother of Horus… because she’s so sad about Osiris (Horus’ dad) being killed by Set, aka Sutekh. The coming of the flood is kinda the harbinger for Osiris, representing his restoration?? I think?? So Mrs Flood is the Harbinger of life/rebirth? Isis is the goddess of life and rebirth, so the perfect poetic answer to Sutekh.

Spanner in the works: I still love the Iris Wildthyme theory, because the 4th wall breaking is just so extreme I don’t see who else it could be. Would it be mad to suggest Isis Wildthyme?? Iris was never a Time Lord, but a regenerating Osirian Isis?? Also side note but why is she so evil-coded in the Legend of Ruby Sunday?? “We’d all like a lot of things that aren’t going to happen??” Ok mate. She only asked for a cuppa, you bellend. (yes, denial of tea is a strictly evil character trait, don’t argue with me on this one.)

Also, why was Rogue so confident he could survive long enough for the Doctor to find him in an unknown dimension? - because he’s Osirian or part Osirian, and has a loooonnnnng life, just like our timelord pal. Or, he is Isis, reborn a bunch o’ times and gender swapped in this regeneration. Or he was the companion of an Osirian Horus/Iris doctor-type character, who was lost… (Am I putting bets on everything, all at the same time? Yes. Yes I am. Can’t believe the Sutekh Truthers were right. I wanna be right one time pls.)

And why give the ring? Similarity to Horus giving Ankh to the Pharaoh - for protection. Or because he knows his Horus ship can find him, activated by the ring? inb4 Doccyboye has to find Rogue to defeat Sutekh with the power of love life.

While we’re on the ring, wtf is the symbol on it? I saw someone calling it a dagger because of Rogue, but it doesn’t look like a dagger to me. I tried isolating shapes, looks kinda like a bird with sun disk type thing on top? Or ropes, a knot? Lots of potential for Egyptian symbolism, maybe relating to Isis, Horus or Wadjet? An amulet of protection for the Doctor?

Thank you for coming to my TEDrant.

Ancient Ceiling Reliefs Uncovered in The Egyptian Temple of Esna

The reliefs were buried under millennia of dirt, soot, and bird droppings.

Conservation work on a 2,200-year-old temple in Egypt has uncovered 12 reliefs representing Babylonian zodiac signs, as well as depictions of stars and constellations that the ancients used to measure time.

The images were found carved into the ceiling of the Temple of Esna in Luxor, which was completed around 250 C.E. and dedicated to the Egyptian god of fertility Khnum. They were revealed by a restoration team, made up of archaeologists from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the University of Tübingen in Germany, which cleared away millennia of dirt and bird droppings from the temple’s surfaces to unveil the 12 astrological motifs that are unusual for a site of worship in Egypt.

“Representations of the zodiac are very rare in Egyptian temples,” said Christian Leitz, a professor at the University of Tübingen, who explained that the Babylonian zodiac was probably introduced to Egypt during Ptolemaic rule between 305 and 30 B.C.E.

“The zodiac was used to decorate private tombs and sarcophagi and was of great importance in astrological texts, such as horoscopes found inscribed on pottery sherds,” added Daniel von Recklinghausen, a Tübingen researcher. “However, it is rare in temple decoration. Apart from Esna, there are only two completely preserved versions left, both from Dendera.”

Zodiac signs aside, the restoration effort further unearthed a trove of other reliefs, including illustrations of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars.

A host of deities and fantastical animals were also found, such as a snake with a ram’s head, a bird with a crocodile’s head, and yet another snake with four wings.

Additionally, researchers discovered some previously unknown inscriptions, which had been covered by soot and inadvertently preserved. Analysis is currently being carried out on these new finds.

Restoration on the Temple of Esna began in 2018, and has involved the cleaning and recoloring of the monument’s surfaces. Along the way, the team has logged finds including a colorful fresco made up of 46 depictions of Egyptian goddesses Nekhbet and Wadjet, as well as painted inscriptions that detail royal titles and caption the constellations carved into the temple’s ceiling.

If The City also homes Egyptian mythology, consider Raphaella and Ivy as The Two Ladies, Ivy as Wadjet and Raph and Nekhbet. My reasoning? Uauahaj,,,,, bird women

Okay but actually, from what i remember there's no lore for Raph and Ivy in the city, right? Also, Egyptian mythology is pretty vague and mysterious compared to what we know of Greek mythology. There's more holes, details missing, the stuff just faded with time while the Greeks' books are still circulating. Egyptian mythology being harder to nail down that Greek makes Greek stuff easier to write about. Mechs wrote less about the Egyptian levels, and boom!! No proof Raph and Ivy weren't playing Egypt while everyone else played Greek!!

Also yes bird woman. Two lady goddesses ruling over/protecting upper and lower Egypt, each their own domain. Nehkbet is a vulture, and the way she's portrayed could totally also be Raph. Wadjet is a cobra, and while I have no definitive connection between Ivy and cobras, snake Ivy is a cool concept you can't take from my cold dead hands.

Uuaaghmm anyway also they could still be other mythology figures bc I'm indecisive and like the idea that the mechs play too many roles. Idk I'm eppy but I realized I haven't been sharing my thoughts as much as I still am very abnormal about the mechs <3

Otra cosa que también es importante recordarles, es que yo soy Kemetismo-Tamerane, es decir, no soy 100% reconstruccionista, por lo que estas festividades a más de une le hará volar la cabeza.

Ahora sí, comencemos con este post.

En esta publicación podrán encontrar las festividades de la Tamera y costumbres que yo suelo practicar. Estas costumbres las creé según lo que me resonaba.

El orden en el que les daré las festividades serán desde Verano hasta primavera, debido a que aquí el verano comienza a notarse desde Diciembre y comienza, definitivamente, en Enero y termina en Marzo.

Zet-Tepi, el solsticio de Verano (22 - 23 de diciembre)

El sol retoma sus fuerzas para volver a nacer y su brillo aumenta, calentando, y, lamentablemente, quemando, todo a su paso.Esta celebración va dirigida a Ra, aunque se le puede rendir culto a Khepri o Iemu.En mi caso, yo suelo poner tres altares, uno para el netkher solar a elección, otro para Tutu y otro para una netkherut Khiret, que también es a elección.Vayamos ahora con la explicación de cada punto de esta festividad.Itemu, Ra y Khepri, los dioses a elección para la resurrección del SolComo les dije anteriormente, esta festividad puede ir para cualquiera de estos tres netkheru o, si desean, para los tres, pues recordemos que ellos tres están relacionados con el mito de la creación y con el Sol como una divinidad.DecoraciónUn mantel rojo, amarillo, naranja o blanco serían los colores a escoger para sus altares, debido a que estos son los colores del sol.Velas rojas, amarillas, naranjas o doradas son una muy buena opción también.OfrendasLas ofrendas van a variar según el netkher, pero siempre escojan frutas tropicales, hierbas de verano y cosas refrescantes, aunque a Ra le encanta el vino, así que ya saben, si pueden y desean beber alcohol, una copa de vino en el altar de Ra no está demás.Incienso de rosas, mirra, khipy o canela son los aromas perfectos para esta ocasión y más si son varias divinidades.Tutu, el dios de la protección contra las enfermedades, demonios y pestesPero ¿Por qué un altar a Tutu?Esto lo hago según mi práctica, y es que una protección en verano de Tutu nunca viene mal, especialmente porque es una de las épocas del año en el que las personas suelen enfermarse más seguido, pues el aire húmedo, y la humedad en general, suele traer muchas enfermedades, desde catarros comunes hasta amigdalitis y algunas enfermedades respiratorias leves.DecoracionesUn mantel rojo, dorado o verde en esta ocasión es la mejor opción, pues también son los colores de Tutu, velas verdes, doradas, amarillas o café.OfrendasA Tutu le gusta el pan, mejor si es casero, el vino tinto, los cereales, y con cereales me refiero a quinoa, avena, etc., no a los Choco krispis, leche, vino blanco, frutas tropicales, especialmente la piña y el mango, fresas y mermelada de frutas.En cuanto a los aromas, pues el incienso de mirra, canela, clavo de olor, khipy y de coco son los mejores.Las netkherut Khiret, las diosas sanguinarias y guerrerasOtro altar importante, bajo mi práctica, es el de las netkherut Khiret, los ojos de Ra.Recordemos que en esta época son ellas quienes representan el sol abrazador, además de ser las responsables de las pestes, enfermedades y plagas del verano, así que también es importante montarles un altar a ellas, no tan solo para pedir su bendición, que nunca viene mal, sino también para rendirles culto y mostrar respeto ante ellas.DecoraciónUn mantel rojo o amarillo, debido a que el rojo es el color del caos, la destrucción y el sufrimiento, y el amarillo es el color de la enfermedad, las pestes y las plagas, en este contexto, claro está.OfrendasIncienso de mirra, canela, khipy, clavo de olor y rosas son las mejores opciones, mientras que las ofrendas comestibles/bebestibles van a depender según la netkher con la que trabajen.Netkherut Khiret- Sekhmet- Hut-Hor- Satet- Wadjet- Nekhbet- Tefnut- Bastet- Beset- Ked-Her- Shesmetet- Wenut- Weret-Heau- Mafdet- Menhit- Atartet

Lychnokaia (24 - 26 de diciembre)

Esta festividad está dedicada a Net, la madre y padre de los netkheru, aquí se le arma un altar para así rendirle culto.DecoraciónMantel rosado, verde o rojo, colores relacionados a la maternidad, el amor y la vida, velas rojas, amarillas y naranjas, en representación del sol, y girasoles.OfrendasInciensos de mirra, khypi, canela, clavo de olor y lavanda, en cuanto a las ofrendas comestibles, podemos ofrendar chocolate, arándanos, uvas, vino tinto y vino blanco.

Wep-Renpet, el nacimiento de Iten (19 de enero)

Aquí nos encontramos con una nueva celebración de nacimiento, es decir, un cumpleaños, en este caso, esta festividad se centra en Iten, el dios del disco solar.DecoraciónMantel verde, rojo, amarillo o dorado, velas doradas y el disco solar, esto para poder representar a Iten y darle la bienvenida a un día más de vida.OfrendasIncienso de mirra, canela y khipy, vino tinto, frutas tropicales, leches vegetales, ensaladas, con una variedad de verduras, no me vayan a poner solo lechuga o tomate.

La siembra (26 - 27 de enero)

Aquí podremos llevar a cabo un ritual, el que más nos resuene, yo, en lo personal, siempre quemo cosas que ya no me sirvan y renuevo mi altar con cosas nuevas y las que ya no me resuenan las guardo o las doy de ofrenda a La Madre.Por favor, tengan cuidado con el fuego, tengan a mano siempre algo con que controlarlo.AltaresKebBesBesetSatetSopdetBarAnentitUnutDecoraciónPlantas vivas o flores, semillas, hongos, manteles verdes o negros, velas negras.OfendasVa a depender de la divinidad con la que trabajen

Equinoccio de Otoño (20 - 21 de marzo)

Aquí conmemoraremos un acontecimiento doloroso, la razón por la cual el Sol pierde fuerzas en otoño, estoy hablando del envenenamiento a Ra a causa de Aset.Aquí podremos meditar y percatarnos de si lo que estamos haciendo con nuestras vidas nos mantiene satisfeches o no, si deseamos cambiar algo o no, pues recordemos que esto lo hizo Aset para poder encontrar a su esposo, Usir.DecoraciónMantel café, naranja o amarillo, velas amarillas y rosadas.OfendasRa: Incienso de Mirra, khipy y coco, vino tinto, dátiles, fresas, chocolate, manzanas rojas y uvasAset: Incienso de mirra, khipy y canela, vino blanco, fresas, chocolate, dátiles y mangos

El transito (12 de mayo)

Aquí conmemoraremos la muerte de Usir, pero también celebraremos la coronación de Suty, pues es en este momento en el que Sutekh asciende al trono, recordemos que, aunque Suty sea el netkher del caos y la discordia, esto no quiere decir que sea un dios malo, más bien, sería malévolo, pero esto no es sinónimo de ser un dios malo, es importante recalcar esto, pues también es el guía de los comerciantes y de las personas que se pierden en el desierto.DecoraciónMantel verde o rojo, velas rojas y doradas.OfrendasIncienso de mirra, canela y khipy, vino blanco, lechugas, ojalá sin salsa blanca, fresas y chocolate, dulce y amargo.

Solsticio de invierno (21 - 22 de junio)

El nacimiento de Heru, sa Aset, aquí comienza una nueva era, donde la oscuridad ganó, sin embargo, aquí también Heru es protegido por Hut-Hor y amamantado por Uadjet, así que aquí tendríamos a cuatro netkheru presentes:AsetHeruHut-HorUadjetDecoraciónMantel rosa, verde o negro, velas negras o rosadas y el disco solar.OfendasPastel de calabazas, pie de limón, vino tinto, leche vegetal, acelgas, pan de miel vegetal, incienso de rosas, khipy, mirra y canela.

Heru-Renpet (1 - 5 de julio)

Cinco días fuera del año, siete netkherut, cabe destacar que para una de estas divinidades haremos un altar a parte, los netkheru son:NutUsirHaruis/Heru-WerSutyAsetNebt-HetDjehutyA cada uno de los hijos de Nut les daremos un día de celebración de su nacimiento, siguiendo el orden en el que nacieron:1° Usir2° Hauris3° Suty4° Aset5° Nebt-HetAquí es importante que entendamos que estos días están fuera del año, así que, por lo menos para mí, Julio comienza recién el 6, es un poco enredoso, pero luego se los explicaré mucho mejor.DecoraciónMantel blanco, velas verdes y azules.OfrendasIncienso de mirra, rosas y khypi, vino tinto, leche vegetal, mango, fresas, lechugas, dátiles.

Festival de las luces (12 - 15 de julio)

Sí, hay otra Lychnokaia, pero le quise poner este nombre para diferenciarlas, pues esta festividad es más pequeña y se llevaba a cabo solo en el culto doméstico, la Lychnokaia como tal se celebraba en toda Kemet por todo el pueblo.Aquí le daremos prioridad a las diosas nutricias a elección o las podemos ir rotando, pues esta festividad es solo un día, sin embargo, se encuentra entre el 12 y 15 de Julio, así que, por mi parte, lo celebro desde el 12 hasta el 15.DecoraciónVelas doradas y rosas, mantel rosadoOfrendasIncienso de mirra, khypi, rosas y canela, en cuanto a las ofrendas comestibles/bebestibles, estas hay que elegirlas según la netkher a la que vayamos a rendir culto.Netkherut mutMutNutRenenutetSerketSekhmetTefnutNetSatetAsetNebt-HetHut-HorBeset (según la creencia, pues recordemos que en algunos papiros Beset es la contraparte o consorte de Bes)UadjetNekhbetKadesh

Resurrección de Usir (23 - 24 de septiembre)

Aquí celebraremos la resurrección del netkher de la naturaleza, la fertilidad y el faraón de los muertos, Usir. En esta festividad participan varias divinidades, las cuales son:NutKebInpuDjehutyAsetNebt-HetUsirTodos forman un papel importante, sin embargo, yo les recomendaría tener un altar para Aset y Usir separado porque, pues, digamos que estas fechas la celebran de una manera no tan grata de ver si estás fuera.DecoraciónManteles verdes, negros o azules, velas verdes, azules o negras, disco solar, sarcófagos, no creo que sea necesario afirmar que debe de ser uno pequeño para que quepa en el altar, ¿Cierto?OfrendasVino tinto, pasteles, chocolate, jugo de uvas, mangos, manzanas rojas, dátiles, fresas, cerezas, ciruelas, leches vegetales, frutos secos, inciensos de mirra, rosas, khipy, canela o coco.

La gran unión (12 de noviembre)

En lo personal, no me gustan las bodas, pero cuando se trata de las bodas de los dioses, feliz de estar ahí, en estas fechas se les suele rendir culto a Hut-Hor y a Heru, sin embargo, no es obligación que sean esas divinidades a fuerza, así que aquí les dejo la lista de las parejas deivinas.Bes, Beset (según la creencia) y/o TaweretSuty, Nebt-Het, Astartet y AnentitBar y AnentitKuk y KauketHeh y HehetNun y NaunetTenemy y TenemetAmen y MutAmen y AmonetAset y UsirKhnum y SatetKhnum y NetNet y SutyNet y SobekHeru y Hut-HorDjehuty y SeshatShu y TefnutKeb y NutAn-Her y MenhitPtah y SekhmetPath y KadeshKadesh y Reshpu/Menu (es mejor poner a los tres, ya que no se sabe con certeza quién es el consorte de Kadesh)Inpu e InputSopdet y SahSokar y SokaretSopdet y HapSerket y HeruMontu, Raet-Taui, Iunyt y TayenenetSokar y Hut-HorSobek y HeketSobek y Hut-HorEsas son solo algunas parejas Reales, en algún otro post hablaré más profundamente de todas o de las que pueda.DecoraciónMantel rojo o rosa, velas rojas y rosasOfrendasIncienso de khipy, mirra, canela y manzana, vino tinto, postres dulces, ojalá sean caseros, banquetes, pequeños, que sea para ustedes y las parejas.En lo personal yo no formo las triadas, aunque si ustedes desean pueden complementar las parejas con sus hijos.

Wadjet is an Egyptian goddess associated with protection, particularly of children, and is a goddess of childbirth; she represents Lower Egypt and is often depicted in art along with Nekhbet, who likewise represents Upper Egypt. She is an Eye of Ra, an agent and protector of the sun-god. Wadjet is depicted here as a woman with the head of a cobra, wearing the red crown of Lower Egypt. She carries the was staff, a symbol of power, in one hand and the ankh, a symbol of life, in the other. She may also be depicted in the full form of a cobra.

Wadjet who guards the green, warder of the red crown, protector of children, I praise and honor you.
