rewatching s1 & s3 makes me so happy looking at how all grown up they are compared to when we first meet them 🥹

[ivycorp]

I'm so happy I got to interact with so many of you, I hope you know I love each and single one of you and that I'm going to feel the need to punch every single one of your enemies until I die

Hi again!!! Ok, I hope I don't annoying you with my request again... But I want to see how Ra (and maybe other gods as well) will react to Mitsuri! Reader spending time with Seth during the trial.

And how he's training her flexibility and strength (he ordered people to make her special sword) and running away with him after the trial because she's worried about him.

(P.S. Ra and other gods aren't yandere interests expect Seth and maybe Horus)

You are free to ignore my request if you want to!!! Thank you for writing my last requests again. And have a good day/night ❤️❤️

Your writing is amazing!!!!❣️��❣️💓💓💓💖💗💖🥰

Ooh ok 👍 interesting, I’ll try my best! 😁now! let's get on with the request, shall we?

character: seth, horus.

warning: noob author, female reader, yandere characters, and others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During the trial for Seth you and seth spent time together during the breaks of the trial; one of the many things you two did together is exercising training having sweets.

the other gods who come across you two in those moments were weirded out though ra was one of them and she wasn't; to be honest she seems to enjoy seeing you two together and see the reactions of the other fods as well (i feel like she ships the reader and seth together lol).

when you and seth exercise and stretch you bring in anubis and help him stretch saying that if he were in danger somehow then he needs to be flexible, which you said with a smile as you helped him do the splits.

seth had previously before the trial had ordered for a sword for you, it was a sword that is like a whip; flexible but sharp like a sword, you were very thankful for the gift and made sure to take good care of it as well as treasure it with all of your heart.

after the trial ended and seth was found guilty you decided to run away and follow him as you want to support him even if he has done bad things, his punishment is him atoning his sins that he's done so you don't see why you shouldn't help him as he's been a good mentor to you so you'd like to repay him by helping him as well especially since he has a sad past.

how you found out about his past was when he was having a break down in his room, he was drunk and sobbing as he was remembering what happened on the night he killed his brother, so while he was drunk he spilled out all of what happened which confirmed that you need to give him support the best you can. you had stayed with him and took care of him until he got over his hangover.

while you and seth was gone horus was planning to get you two back into his arms as he just couldn't let you two go.

(A/n: so i hope y'all liked it! i thought it be funny to add a few bits of mitsuri's training in there to have some laughs and have it be kinda light i guess? i beleive that's all i had to say so hope y'all have a wonderful day/evening/night!!)

@tired-of-life-86 replied to your post "Thinking about how people assuming Seth isn’t into men is also a big reason why. . .":

I feel like Seth doesn't have too much interest in sexual relationships. He wants love more than anything and since lust is a form of love, he doesn't mind that too much either (if it's with the person he loves.) Seth has been hurt, betrayed, defiled, and tortured. He also has not been allowed to mourn. Since he hasn't mourned or focused on healing. His thought process and emotions are just messed up and jumbled. My poor baby, I just wanna see him happy! ❤

I've generally thought he doesn't have much active interest in sex, like I don't think he proactively seeks it out, but he doesn't mind it with partners he enjoys if they want it. He does very much want to just be loved, and he likes making his partners happy. The problem is that we don't have much of him being in a relationship he seeks out on his own. Just one panel of him kissing Nephthys in the past(?) in S01E18, and the time he spent with Horus in Abu Gorab in S02E70 onward. We don't know why or how he fell in love with Nephthys. We only know how he's fallen/falling in love with Horus, and that relationship hasn't been centered on sex, but involves physical intimacy (e.g., the kiss in S02E70). It involves sex, too, but Horus initiated it that time.

I also don't know that I'd agree that "lust is a form of love". Lust is a desire, and physicality can be a way to express love. But it doesn't have to be (e.g., Osiris, Kuentamen, Fenu). It's one reason people differentiate being "in love" and being "in lust" and a commonish-ish phrase is something like, "you're not in love, it's just lust". I again think Seth doesn't mind physicality with people he likes, particularly if it makes his partner happy.

CW: discussion of mental illness, mention of canon cannibalism

I'm not precisely sure what you mean by he's not allowed to mourn? What is he mourning? Do you mean losing Anubis (or at least the Anubis he knew)? Anubis isn't dead and he's working on getting Anubis back.

Or maybe mourning the brother/siblings he thought he knew, or losing his marriage? He hasn't been supported through the difficulties and trauma he's experienced. But I think he had plenty of time to mourn his siblings if he felt the need to during the hundreds of years of his being king (I think it's one major reason he treats Isis the way he does during the trial; her turning her back on him still hurts, but he's had years to deal with and accept it's just part of their relationship, even if he still hates it and feels hurt by it). He definitely still has issues processing his relationship with Nephthys, which he mostly handled through putting distance between them. His attempting to process/attempting to not process everything is likely part of why he was so focused on getting drunk and drugged out of his mind. I think he might have mourned the loss of who he was before he discovered what Osiris was, but what we've learned in recent episodes leads me to think he's used to giving up versions of himself (e.g., changing to a god of war) for what he believes is necessary (e.g., someone had to guard everyone and he wasn't good at anything else).

I also want to see him happy, which is why I'm glad we actually have in many recent episodes. In Abu Gorab when he and Horus were talking, with the kiss, and to a degree I think with Seth fighting the attacking men, and with Seth hanging out a bit with Anubis in Abu Gorab, and with the cat in Hermopolis. I think he's also been more comfortable with Horus in places. It's important to remember no one is happy all the time. It's just not how people work. We find what happiness we can in between the rougher parts of our lives. I don't think Seth will end up fully happy all the time, no matter how the story ends. I think he'll end up happy to a degree, at least, if not much happier than he's been for a lot of his life, particularly since he and Horus seem to be increasingly honest with each other in a way Seth seemingly wasn't with Nephthys, and it's something Seth values (he likes feeling seen).

I think this leads into an important point (that's not really what you're talking about, and apologies for the text spam, please ignore if you don't care, but I felt like going down the rabbit hole): the idea that Seth wasn't happy after the night of usurpation because that (and following events) messed him up, but that he potentially was happy before that, and that doesn't seem true, not just because of what I said about his being happy at points afterward, but also because of what we've seen of who he was and what he did before. We have a lot of evidence Seth wasn't happy even before the night of usurpation. Like yes, he was with Nephthys, they had a kid he loved, he was friends with Isis and got along with Osiris, and he was a very successful war god and had appreciation from the humans, as well as temples. But even when he was with his family, as Sekhmet notes in in S01E36, the four siblings acted "like they were the happiest family on the planet". How much of that was an act, at least on Seth's part, is up for debate. But even outside Sekhmet saying at least some of it was an act, Seth wasn't happy in his life.

The way Seth describes becoming a war god in S02E89, that it was his duty and there was no liking or disliking it, speaks to me of someone who doesn't have a particular interest in what he does for a living (outside being good at it). We're shown later on that he seems to take pride in his martial prowess and winning fights (e.g., in S01E56, in that panel of Seth catching Horus, I honestly think he's having fun), particularly during the trial, but part of that is his arrogance and bluster and trying to convince people he's an egomaniac who needs to be put down, along with his distaste in losing because Osiris told him that he's weak (e.g., how he reacts in S01E56 to Horus at the idea that it was due to Seth's weakness that Horus assaulted him). In S01E05, Seth tells Anubis that being the god of war is not respectable, and that war itself is awful, and he hopes Anubis doesn't become a god like him. This is reflected in how he talks about the horrors of war in S02E88-9 and how he mentions hearing the cries of humans who died in war calling to him in S01E48.

Seth looks so bitter, angry, and pained about this. Perhaps he was able to tolerate it because he had the love of Nephthys, Anubis, and his siblings to sustain him. Perhaps that's part of why he was so desperate they not forget him, because it's what got him through things. As he says in S01E05, "War is sometimes necessary when you need to protect your family, your land." He did all this out of necessity, not love or enjoyment. And he suffered through it. There's a manic gleam in his eye as he looks at Osiris while the dead are screaming for him in S01E48.

And we know at least part of the reason he doesn't like eating (particularly meat) is because his soldiers had to turn to cannibalism (S02E88). He saw a lot of horrible things in war long before Osiris assaulted him, and he just sort of lived with it, seemingly keeping it apart as much as possible from his life in Heliopolis and the people he cared about. Even Osiris seemingly doesn't know Seth can hear the dead calling to him, nor did potentially Isis.

He also doesn't seem to care about his followers at all (even before he starts slaughtering them en masse), and his awareness of them is quite distant, even before the night of usurpation (e.g., he had no idea who Kuentamen was, despite Kuentamen being the/one of Seth's high priests in Heliopolis, and gods having, allegedly, perfect memory/minds). They're convenient when he needs them, and an irritation when not. So while I imagine he appreciated being worshiped (and while he notably still expects humans to respect him), it wasn't that big a deal. As Seth says to FG in S02E85, "What do you mean, how will [humans] worship [gods]? Humans don't doubt us."

And of course we know that he was afraid of being forgotten, and that this is a fear he had that predated the night of usurpation.

As he explains to Osiris in S01E41, "I always just acted angry so that I wouldn't have to hear what [Nephthys] had to say. She was probably afraid of things ending up this way..." He had anxiety about his marriage - and his fatherhood - from numerous angles before he had confirmation that Anubis wasn't biologically his, and that Nephthys had sought out another man. It's not clear if he and Nephthys fought, or if he was verbally abusive, but he used anger to avoid talking to her directly. To avoid her admitting that she was moving past their relationship in some form. Their relationship was messy even before he knew why Nephthys had made it messy on her end.

So his marriage was a mess, he was at times distant from his son (their relationship is shown to be loving, but it had its complications), he didn't care much for his work, and he was distant if not uncaring to his followers, he had anxiety, he had some anger management issues, he had self-esteem issues, he wasn't communicating well with people, and he was prioritizing other folks in ways that were unhealthy for him all before the night of usurpation.

Isis describes the era before the four siblings ruled Egypt, before Seth became a god of war, as "a quiet, peaceful, beautiful era" in S02E80.

But we also know she was completely oblivious to Osiris' lust for Seth and his experiments and Nephthys seemingly being in love with Osiris at some point. Even in the peaceful era image, Osiris looks kind of upset/embarrassed. He might just be reacting to whatever Isis and Nephthys are laughing about, but I think it's notable he's behind her, where she can't see him. Perhaps for Isis it was beautiful. The question is if it was beautiful for Seth.

A lot of Seth's unhappiness seems to come from his being a god of war, and obviously things that came after that with Nephthys, Sekhmet, Osiris, Isis, Anubis, himself, etc. Perhaps he was happier in that time, before he became the god of war. We don't know. But what we do know is that Seth has been unhappy, in various ways, long before Osiris assaults him, and long before the events of the manhwa in present happen.

Why any of this matters: as someone who's dealt with depression and family members and friends with depression, it's very meaningful to me for various reasons that we have a character who might have some form of depression and/or other mental health problems and who also has happy moments, and I like to emphasize moments where he does find happiness. That not only is it possible for him but it also does happen. His being unhappy a lot does not negate the moments he is happy, or at least stable. A lot of folks in fandom look at Horuseth as it exists and are like, "well Seth's clearly not happy; he needs to not be around Horus to be happy." It's the main reason the Seth x Happiness "ship" exists. They expect him to always be happy, as if that's attainable and not kind of exhausting. As if no relationship ever has ups and downs (heck, even the purportedly "happy" relationship he had with Nephthys had downs from Seth's side due to his own insecurities and worries; love doesn't solve everything). But Horus has made him happy. Seth has reached out to him. Seth kissed him while being a bit overwhelmed by his own happiness at Horus seeing him. Seth finds joy in learning. He finds some joy in being good at fighting. He finds joy in protecting people and being useful.

He is happy in the manhwa, at least in moments. And I believe he'll be happier in future, too.

I guess I will be the first for an Egyptian related ask but what’s your favorite god and myth

Oh that is a very good question! And to be fair I am not sure I even have a favorite per se just like with any other mythology but if I had to absolutely choose I'd say two gods fascinate me a lot.

One is Hathor; she is one of the most known and most worshipped goddesses in Egypt, known from arguably the beginning of the Egyptian civilication and goes toe-to-toe in Middle and New Kingdom with Isis, ever since the cult of Osiris became the main religion in Egypt. Hathor has such a rich set of attributes that basically cover everything; motherhood, birth, rebirth, death, life, perfumes, alcoholic beveranges and drunkeness, love, war, culivation of plants and nature, music, dance, magic and so many more! Since I based my thesis on her worship using music and dance, I was fascinated by her rich celebrations. Arguably one is literally called Festivity of Drunkeness, which is as it is said; people drink till they drop and dance and sing etc which completely contrasts other celebrations of hers such as honoring the dead (although those too end up in music and dance etc)

Her very name "Ht-Hr" which means "house of Horus" in free translation, shows also her deep connection to the solar-centered deities especially Horus, who becomes her heavenly husband in some versions or traditions.

The other figure is Anubis, the god of the dead or rather the one that weights your heart in the underworld before you are decided to pass to the Field of Reeds or suffer eternal death by having your heart be devoured by Ammit. Anubis is an interesting figure with a long backstory and traditions (one of them associating him with god Osiris, lord of the underworld himself; in one tradition Nepthys who cannot have children with her sterile husband Seth, gets Osiris drunk and sleeps with him and thus conceiving Anubis). His depiction at the book of the dead is arguably one of the most iconic:

I really love his connction to death and the funerals and he seems almost like Hades himself in Greece, how he is so important and iconic deity but he doesn't have a temple or an individual worship but rather he is worshipped by the process itself; he is the one that weights your heart and often is depicted helping mummification so he literallly helps you pass on to heavens. I really love this mysterious figure.

Now as of favorite myth I cannot say is easy to choose one. I mean I do love the several stories and myths on how Seth and Horus compete against each other for justice and the throne of Egypt or even how Hathor herself is coming to the back when Ra is offended and abandons the courtroom and she opens her dress to him, not to make him horny but to make him laugh. Iconic!

I should say I love the myth of Hathor being furious at the disrespect of humans towards Ra and her anger transformed her to the Eye of God aka the Powerful or Sechmet. The lion goddess of war. Her bloodlust and thirst was so great that there was no stopping her until people mixed beer in order to make it look red like blood and lay it out for her until she drank to the point of drunkeness and she eventually calmed down and fell asleep, transforming back to her old self. I really like it how this myth is associated with Hathor's Feast of Drunkeness among others!

Cleopatra's Legacy

'I know, O queen, you can list a multitude of kindnesses you have done me. I shall never deny them and never be sorry to remember Dido while I remember myself, while my spirit still governs this body. Much could be said. I shall say only a little. It was never my intention to be deceitful or run away without your knowing, and do not pretend that it was. Nor have I ever offered you marriage or entered into that contract with you.’

Furious and despairing, Dido curses her former lover, then commits suicide rather than face life alone.

Parallels with the stories of Julius Caesar and of Antony are obvious. Dido, a woman who willingly enters into a pseudo-marriage and who is ultimately destroyed by her own guilt, is to be equated with Cleopatra. Virgil is, however, relatively sympathetic to Dido, whose life has been deliberately destroyed by the gods. Less sympathetic to Cleopatra is his anachronistic reference to Aeneas’s intricate shield, forged by Vulcan, which features Octavian’s victory at the battle of Actium:

On the other side, with the wealth of the barbarian world and warriors in all kinds of different armour, came Antony … With him sailed Egypt and the power of the East from as far as distant Bactria, and there bringing up the rear was the greatest outrage of all, his Egyptian wife! … The queen summoned her warships by rattling her Egyptian timbrels – she was not yet seeing the two snakes there at her back – while Anubis barked and all manner of monstrous gods levelled their weapons at Neptune and Venus and Minerva.

Faced with such a glorious image, Virgil’s readers might perhaps forget just how weak Octavian’s military record actually was.

The subversive Augustan poet Sextus Propertius writes longingly of his feisty mistress Cynthia. He, like Mark Antony, has been ensnared and to a certain extent emasculated by a powerful woman, and he is not afraid of admitting it. Answering the question, ‘Why do you wonder if a woman controls my life?’ he lists examples of famous, unnaturally dominating women, including the Amazon Penthesilea, Omphale, queen of Lydia, Semiramis and, of course, Cleopatra, ‘the whore queen of Canopus’. Later he provides a somewhat tongue-in-cheek tribute to Octavian and the battle of Actium. Clearly Propertius is aware of the irony of a Roman man celebrating a great victory over a mere woman, but, like Virgil before him, he sensibly sees no need to labour this delicate point. In this he is joined by his contemporary Horace, who is happy to reduce Cleopatra to the status of a madwoman drunk on power, yet who also gives a surprisingly sympathetic account of her death: ‘fiercer she was in the death she chose, as though she did not wish to cease being queen’. By restoring some of Cleopatra’s dignity, Horace actually makes her a more credible and worthy foe for Octavian.

Lost a fanfic

Word Count: 1200+

There was a The Sandman fanfic on AO3 that I had read long ago. I neglected to record or even look at the title and author of the story. And now i lost it. But i want to return and reread it. Or check if it updated.  Help me find it.

I first read it in maybe february or March 2023. I don't know when it was first published or updated. I didn't checked the date. I neglected to. It’s a bad habit where i read a bunch of short fics in a single night, not care for title, and focus more on word and chapter count. Because “i wanted something short.” 

This habit carries over in my YT watching habits and is equally bad. Something to do with attention span and stuff. 

Whenever I return to the site to find it, i fail. The tags and filters fail me. Somehow, it always brings me to less than x number of fics. When I am absolutely sure that there are more than x number of fics with the tags/characters/filters I'm looking for. Maybe because some writers neglected or selectively chooses some tags. 

Idk. the filters weren't helping me. 

Lets see what I can remember about the fanfic and tags and characters. Spoilers below:

I vaguely recall a “angst with happy ending” tag. Im pretty sure the rating was E for explicit. There were some rather graphic scenes. Was it graphic? What if it was actually M for Mature?? 

Idr other tags/ warnings. WIP story. Idr word count and chapter count. 3 chapters? ??

Lucienne and Death makes appearances. Some original characters. Idr order of scenes and chapters. 

Dream arrives to the old tavern but it’s in ruins. Abandoned. He explores and finds a box. It’s a bit stuck but he finds a note. A letter. With holes and missing words. Some other things might’ve been in the box but prolly stolen? A stick inside the box to hold in place. The letter is really old and fragile. It does contain some instructions on where and how to find him. (later revealed to be really outdated) 

He walks to the The New Inn. idr if he steps inside or not. But maybe he did. Maybe he didn't but later. He orders a drink. Wine? Poor employee girl didn't know what to do with gold coins and gets sand blown into her face too many times. Too many times and so much dreamsand that she has to take a break or something and ask another employee to take over. Morpheus rereads the letter over and over.  Accidentally tears it in anger, but catches himself. Makes a mental note ot have it laminated. Dream tries to talk to the owner of the inn. There’s a picture and a plaque. Something about fake name and reall name. Drunk Hob revealed his real name and it became an “inside joke.” But nothing much else. Dream is sad. 

He walks around the neighborhood. And a school campus. He gets recognized by someone. She recognized him from somewhere. Asked if he knew Robert/Hob Gadling/ fake name. Prof Gadling talked about his stranger a lot. She was a student/ student teacher under his mentorship. Or something. She kept close contact with him for while. Even when he left the university and went traveling. Even when she got her degrees and became a professor. But some point stopped. 

Idr her name. 

She invited Dream to coffee to talk. She shared / showed things on her phone. Didn't work out. 

Sad moment where Dream finds out that she and Robert had sent each other so many emails while he only has one letter. He admits that he is someone who is hard to contact. 

She mentioned visiting his old house. There was a large framed painting of him. Thats how she recognized dream. He never sat for a picture. “You’re telling me he got it commissioned?” 

Dream tried visiting the old house. Hob had moved out. New family moved in. let him borrowed a phone. Landline? Im pretty sure theres some humor of him not knowing how to operate the phone. 

Meanwhile, Death visits  a museum of ancient Egyptian stuff. Hob is there looking at a statue of Anubis. He asked if they always looked like that. Death responds, sometimes. Startles him. He didn't see or hear her arrive. They meet and talk. She explains (and apologizes) that she is responsible for his immortality. And her brother is his stranger. He laughed. I think. He asked questions. No answers. Sad sad. 

He was about to ask another question but gets distracted by a school trip group of students. Death slips away. Hob gets frustrated. 

Hob gone traveling alot .

Some point Dream tries contacting Death. Asked if hob's well / alive. Yes. 

Btw, death arrived wearing a different outfit and holding a snake. But she later changes to typical tank top and jeans. Brings the snake back wherever it was previously. 

She takes Dream to a cliff?? Unless this from a diff fanfic. Idk. but they talked at the cliff over the ocean. Idr the conversations. 

Dream visits hob’s dreams. 

We see Hob entering his old house with arms full of wine and food. Dream is disguised as a raven. It’s raining. Robert sees the raven and tells “it” to leave to somewhere safe and dry. Get out of rain and get dry.  Hob  knocks on his front door after struggling to get his keys. Opens. Enter. We see lots of shoes and coats. Dream the Raven sneaks into the house.

We meet the (former) boyfriend who is an “older” man. They laugh, joke, kiss, and talked. Ex BF asked when will Hob ask the question. What question? Marriage. Ex explained: grandfather and father got dementia at age 50. And he’s turning 50 in a few years. They fight. Sad. 

Scene shifts. The painting is visible now. Obvious on the wall. Raven disguise disappear. Dream walked up the stairs to a door slightly ajar. He spies inside and sees a copy of himself. Sorta. Whatever Hob imagines his stranger would’ve looked like if nude. Description of Hob’s version of Dream is different from the real Dream in body shape. 

Hob is (smut scene) bottom to Dream’s top. 

Lovely description of what Morpheus would’ve done in 1000 yrs ago, 100 yrs ago, 10 yrs ago, now. (Not those exact numbers or era. Idr. ) In a few sentences. Maybe it was 3. Morpheus stays and observes. Pervert. 

Hob asked Morpheus if he will stay after he wakes up. He responds, yes. (cries) 

Real Morpheus quietly leaves. The voices in the bedroom are still very loud. 

Out of the water, Lucienne arrives with an umbrella. It’s raining hard. 

They visit the library and look thru Hob’s books. Lucienne silently screams at every accidental dog-ear and mishandle of pages. I would too. Hob has entries: wha’ts teh point of dreaming anymore. And stuff. Sad stuff. Angry stuff. 

Morpheus in frustration. Throws book at wall. Book breaks and falls apart. Lucienne is hurt. Me too. He says something to her, angry. She tells him “then you must leave my library” and snaps her fingers. Forces him out and slams the doors. She picks up the book and carefully rearranges the pages and binding. Sets aside in a book press. “You’re a good book.” Awww

And that was the ending. No more updates at that date and time. 

Story obviously WIP.

Do you have any silly ideas of encounters of Anubi and Thoth when on break and not being ordered around?

heheheh my two favorite dumb goons!!

First of all, Anubis goes to visit Earth to crash into any party he finds himself in. When is over Thoth is the one to drag the drunk Jackal back to the Dark Pyramid.

Exaton doesn't care every time Anubis just comes back in one piece. The dark lord knows the kids of parts Anubis gets into... There is more than just wild.

Thoth is the complete opposite of that preferring to stay away from the human world. He thinks that us mortals are a waste of time.

So when Anubis and Thoth are alone with nothing else to do... things get interesting.

Or at least that's what some Mummie soldiers say after seeing them fight for what they think ¨no reason at all¨, but really, it was a debate over a book.

They can have a nice talk with a cup of tea at first until one of them brings up a topic they both disagree on and then a fight will break.

Sekhmet is the one in charge of fixing whatever they destroy...

Thoth is an INFO DUMP machine that will correct anyone but mostly Anubis when he gets something wrong.

Barbie fans but say that Oppenheimer was better.

A few times Thoth will go with Anubis just to see how much we have evolved as mortals.

The Bingo and Casino are places they visit a lot, they win and hide the money to use later.

Cat cafes are also on their maps of favorite Earth places.

Because is their free day, when they encounter the Last Pharao they just say hi and back off to keep doing their shenanigans.

They mostly let chaos in whatever place they go. One time in the mall Anubis let out a box full of Bees and Thoth cursed the books because they depict him as a thing humans call ¨nerd¨

Some practical thought and experiences on Polytheism

Polytheism is simply the belief in a multitude of Gods. In practice, this tends to look like developing a relationship with a few while acknowledging the existence of for more. The few one devotes time, energy, and other resources towards are often referred to as patrons.

Finding patron deities can be a struggle. Or maybe you are just looking for some gods to call for a ritual. Pantheons can be crossed. Celts and Norse get along fine. Egyptian and Hellenic/Roman have shared mythologies. The challenge is in who you are specifically calling. Working with gods of the underworld is the easiest. Most of them are quite chill about working with each other and taking messages back to the dead. One ritual I got Epona, Hel, Hades, Ereshkigal, and Anubis to all play nice for a public ritual. Aphrodite is a jealous b!tch and can be hard to find others to work with her. Freyja is very similar, but do not call them together they viciously hate each other. I also heard a story of an unpleasant ritual where someone thought it was a good (nope!) idea to call the Morrigan and Tyr into the same space. Chaos and order did not mix well even if the Celts and Norse do. On the other hand, Dionysus and Loki should only be called together if you do not mind both of them getting stupid drunk together.

              Even mixing within pantheons can be a challenge. My patron Cerridwen gets along with Brigid like a mother and her teenage daughter. The question tends to be, so what is that like today. I won’t call on Hekate with her, not because they don’t mix, but the exact opposite. I know if I ask Cerridwen and Hekate for help on something, they will come up with a list of tasks for me to do and expect me to follow through to reach my aims.  One of them doing that is enough in my opinion.

              There are no hard and fast rules for mixing divine beings. Ask them first or you can have the energy of your gathering turn uncomfortable at best if not violent and nasty for calling the wrong combination. Do your research and feel free to ask them how they feel. They have been willing to let me know when I ask as I put rituals together.

Egyptian gods - The Ennead, Nephthys

The Ennead is nine gods – three times three. So I will cover a third deity to complete this first look at the Ennead. Osiris, you say? No. Yes it is expected for him to complete the Seth and Isis duo, but I want to do something different, and place back under the light a goddess too often forgotten. Seth’s wife, Isis’s sister: the goddess Nephthys.  

Poor Nephthys doesn’t get much attention today among the children of Nut and Geb, but it is because she herself did not had much “autonomy” or “independence” in her own mythology and religion… Nephthys name rarely appears alone. She is always either Seth’s wife, either Isis’ sister. Nephthys has an especially strong bond with Isis: together, the two goddesses were depicted protecting the dead on the cover of sarcophagus – a “funeral goddess” role that is due to her participation in the “Legend of Osiris”, where she helped Isis find back the corpse-pieces of the mutilated body of Osiris, gave him with Isis the last funeral rites, and helped during his mummification. She and Isis notably acted as mourners, singing throughout Egypt a beautiful and mystic funeral song we still have today in Ancient Egyptian texts – a song asking for the dead pharaoh to return to them in his original shape, so they can “forget his enemy”, asking for the dead to abandon his anger so they can all rejoice in his resurrection, a song asking him to take back his rightful inheritance and to rule again in his own house – so that the land itself may resurrect…

Isis and Nephthys were more than very good and very close sisters: they were complementary goddesses, almost twin figures. Isis was a goddess of life, of motherhood and healing, wife of the god of vegetation, immortality and resurrection, whereas Nephthys was a goddess of the afterlife, of the shadow and of funerals, married to the god of the desert, chaos, the storm and hostility. Isis gave birth to Horus and was his loving mother – but it was Nephthys that acted as Horus’ nurse, rocking his cradle, lulling him to sleep. The Text of the Pyramids called her the “nursing-mother” of Horus, opposing the “birth-mother” that was Isis. And finally, whereas Isis was the wife of Osiris… Nephthys was his lover.

This story is the most famous legend of Nephthys (and her only true story beyond her participation to the search of Osiris’ corpse). Note that this seems to be a late story, coming from a more “recent” form of mythology trying to tie together the various bits and parts of older legends. But the story goes as this: Nephthys and Seth soon realized that they couldn’t produce a child together. Some read it as Seth’s fault – since he is the god of the desert and of all things venomous and hostile, it makes sense he would be as arid and sterile as what he embodies… Other rather accuse Nephthys herself, the Text of the Pyramids calls her a “concubine without a womb”. But in the version of the story as it came to me, the sterility of the couple was due to Seth, and Nephthys, obsessed with the idea of becoming a mother and having a child, decided to cheat on Seth, to have sex behind her husband’s back to obtain a child. And she decided to use her own brother for this purpose: Osiris. However Osiris is a good, wise and virtuous king, a god of justice and faithfulness who would never cheat on Isis. So Nephthys put together a plan… One evening, as she found herself alone with Osiris, she offered him a lot of food, and a lot of alcohol, ultimately making Osiris fully drunk. Once he is ready to pass out, Nephthys plays a number of seduction on him, and convinces him to sleep with her, manipulating him until she finally obtained what she wanted. She slept with Osiris just once, and from this single night of drunken love, a child was born; the god Anubis. A new problem arose however… Seth knows he cannot have a child, and Nephthys, so obsessed with becoming a mother, forgot that the wrath and fury of her husband could destroy her and her babe… Nephthys, to hide her unfaithfulness, was forced to abandon Anubis in the swamps bordering the Nile, so avoid the vengeance of her dreaded husband. Hopefully for her, Isis actually learned of her sister having an illegitimate child – and unable to let a child to die (especially since herself also didn’t have any child with Osiris), she took Anubis away from the swamps and decided to adopt him, raising him as her own son, much to the relief of everybody in the known. Only Seth ignored of this entire business – Osiris, Nephthys, Isis, they all knew about this night of extra-marital love. How did Isis knew, you ask? Well, in the morning, Isis found in her husband’s bed a crown of flowers… a crown that she had seen Nephthys wear the previous day. But Isis, always ever so close with her sister, forgave her enough to save her child from death – and later Nephthys returned her kindness, by siding with Isis and Horus against Seth during the numerous trials for the throne of Egypt.

Two additional facts about this story. 1) The fact Nephthys got Osiris drunk is to put in relation to a series of pictures and depictions of Nephthys found in Edfu, Behbeit or Dendera, where she was depicted as taking part in festivities and merriments, most notably receiving beer from the pharaoh himself, in return of blessing him so that he could party with “no hangovers”. Yep, that was literally what was written. 2) The failed and bizarre unloving marriage between Nephthys and Seth was apparently (at least according to Wikipedia) explained by some recent Egyptologist research, that placed forward the theory that the union of Seth and Nephthys is a “recent” invention, or rather part of a “late” addition to the myths. As in, Nephthys was recognized as Seth’s wife in Egyptian mythology, yes… But she seems to have been only the wife of Seth under his “positive” aspect of the bodyguard of the Sun ; meanwhile, in the Osirian legend, where Seth appears under his “negative” aspect of the jealous murderer and greedy usurper, Nephthys wasn’t thought of as Seth’s wife, but rather as Isis’ assistant, and Horus co-mother. Mind you, take all this info with a grain of salt: I just found it when looking at Wikipedia to double-check my sources, and this apparently comes from recent studies.

Just like Isis, Nephthys was usually depicted as a regular human woman, wearing on her head the two symbols forming her name: “neb”, a basket, and “hwt”. “Hwt” is… debated by experts. For some it is “the plan of the house” and thus means “house”. For others it is rather the “great wall that surrounds large buildings” and thus means either “palace” or “temple”. So the literal name of Nephthys (Nebhwt, that the Greeks turned into Nephthys, but that could be spelled in a more Egyptian way as Nebet-Het) means “Mistress of the House”, “Mistress of the Palace” or “Lady of the Temple”. She was also called the “Helpful Goddess” or the “Excellent Goddess”, epithets referring her role as a divine assistant and protective guardian when it came to the moment of death and the passing in the afterlife (opposing Isis’ assistance during childbirth). And due to her motherhood of Anubis, she was paired with him in Memphis and called “Queen of the embalmer’s shop”. Similarly to Isis, Nephthys was also sometimes depicted with kite wings (or falcon wings), or herself turning into a kite – again, this is most prevalent when she plays her role as a funeral/afterlife goddess, her wings wrapped around the dead symbolizing her protection. The Egyptian hawk was notably tied to Nephthys because its cries were associated with the laments and mournful screams typical of Egyptian rituals.

Run? …Maybe he’s right 🙄 Anyways- going out to bother Set on his shift and hopefully get shit faced drunk 🥰 As shit face drunk as a demon can get at least. I have to take advantage of this cause in a week’s time, about, he’s leaving for the “holidays” or whatever. So I’m taking the time to enjoy his company, unwanted or not.~ What do we think about my going out makeup? Is it pretty enough to want to kiss me?~

🌪️: I’m kind of late for my shift-. I was trying to do some nicer makeup and outfit for it… kind of looks like my regular shit though. Goth and Black just like we like it.~ Trying to get more tips by just wearing a jacket and, hopefully, sexy makeup? Couldn’t be me.~ I have a strong feeling that today is going to test my patience so badly that I better get higher than normal tips. As much as I love this bar and watching people get set on fire and stabbed I need a real break anddd even though me nor Anubis really celebrate Christmas or Thanksgiving it’s still fun to do things with friends and family. So for before Thanksgiving my little dumb friends, Jay and Fenrir, planned for all of us to go enjoy some time in a cabin in the forest, totally not creepy. On Thanksgiving Anubis and I are going back home to Egypt and I know my mum said she had a new headscarf for me so I’m all excited. 🥰 Alright- time for me to go. Stop by the bar, there’s a lot of deals going along. Just step down to hell and I’ll be there to serve.~
