Aset with baby Heru 🧡 Dua Aset! Dua Heru-sa-Aset!

Aset is one of my main deities and yet, I never draw Her! So, I decided to change that :)

I associate Heru with the color blue amongst others hence the eyes being blue, and I associate Aset with yellows/golden tans and purples/soft violets but I thought Her colors would look better in the background rather than on Her. I also wanted little Heru's eyes to match Aset's wings. I hope it looks alright 💙

Commissions are open and are very helpful ahead of the Holiday season as I have a dog who just had TPLO surgery on one leg and has to get his second leg done after recovering from this one, and it is a pricy surgery. Send me a message if you'd like a commission, and a proper commission price sheet is coming soon 🧡

Another piece of Egyptian mythology trivia that I really like: There are a lot of stories (or, well, historiolas in spells) about Horus the Child almost dying of scorpion stings. Like, a lot. There’s so many.

And then as an adult he has seven scorpion wives. If you can’t beat them, marry them.

I wish to chronicle, for a moment, how I prefer to “speak” to my deities and grow my relationship with them. I’m not entirely sure what to call it. Meditation, astral projection, my own imagination. I don’t particularly label it.

I walk through the dark void towards the warm glow of a fire. The space is near endless and yet also confined, like a hallway. There is no floor, but I can feel solid ground under my feet as I walk.

At the end of the “hallway”, there is a fire pit with a blazing orange fire in it. It is lacking in ornamentation, but it’s sturdy. There are four cushions laid out around the fire. Always, across from the cushion closest to me & on the other side of the fire is Hestia. She is a constant. I have never come to this place, her fire, and not found her there. She minds the fire and welcomes those who join her. I settle in and take in what is around me. I always see Hestia first.

Sometimes I stay and talk with her, not moving on down the other “halls”, or I just sit with her, enjoying the warmth of the fire and of her company. It’s peaceful there. Safe. There is nothing but the fire and its tender. Sometimes, she will guide me down the “hall” behind her to a grand temple. Not one in particular that I have seen, but I can almost feel the energy of the gods electrifying the air. Up the steps, there is a very large fire burning. It feels important. I think it would be the prytaneion, but I’m not well-versed enough to say for sure. Or what prytanis this domain belongs to. We sit at the fireside, the temperature always cozy despite the size of the flames and the proximity. Together, we tend the fire and talk. We laugh. Hestia shares her wisdom with me. I can almost hear the crackling of the fire now as I think about this place and the time I spend with her.

Sometimes, other deities are at the initial fire pit, sitting on the cushions. Most of the time, Heru-sa-Aset sits to my left, dignified. He’s very rarely not there, but his cushion will be empty when I arrive on occasion. No one ever takes his place. He appears with the falcon head or with the appearance of a young man with the shaved head and braid typical of Ancient Egyptian boys. If I do not stay at Hestia’s fire, Heru-sa-Aset likes to take me down the “hall” behind him. We race through the streets and sometimes visit a different temple, one stylized after Ancient Egypt. He’s always laughing, a joyful sound that makes my heart sing. It feels like we become one with the wind. The sand under our feet, grating to me in real life, feels wonderful and warm and soft. It’s always nighttime, with torches lighting our path. The sky is filled with more stars than I could ever count. We sit on a terrace to look across the sprawling city and the endless sky above it. We talk, we laugh, he sometimes sings this song that I can never understand the language or remember the tune.

There are times when I only briefly stay at the fire pit. The third “hall” takes me to an open field, a meadow full of all kinds of wildflowers and soft grasses. There’s a fallen log to sit on and a few sparse fruit trees, forever mixed between flowering and bearing fruit. I’ve seen it in day and night. There is a cliff, very close to the fallen log, that leads down into the ocean. I have met many different deities there. Most frequently has been Hera, Eros, Apollo, and Dionysus, but they are not the only ones I visit there. If a deity meets me there, we can go wherever they wish from a short walk.

To end these meetings, I simply walk back to the fire pit after saying my good-byes and thanks. I walk back the way I came, and I open my eyes.

DISCLAIMER: These are MY experiences. This is not a guide or meant to be taken as gospel.

My patrons are Hestia and Heru-sa-Aset. For Hestia, it was very early. I had read about her & became fascinated. Something just clicked. Funnily enough, she felt like home. Which for a kid in abusive household, was so important. It’s still extremely important to me. No matter where I physically am, with her I am home.

For Heru-sa-Aset, I had been growing in worship with him for some time, not being the first Kemetic deity to call to me. However, due to the extensive history of Ancient Egypt and the different versions of him, I hadn’t quite found the “version” of him that I was hearing from. After finding the name, it was the first time I put on my Eye of Horus and felt an immense wave of confidence and calm. It was then that I knew it was him. Another piece I didn’t know I was missing fitting into place, as if it were meant to be.

Point of interaction: if you have a patron or just a Deity you’re especially close to, what was the experience that made you think, “yeah, that’s the one”?

A prayer to Heru 🧿🌕☀️🦅

O Heru

Lord of the skies

Oldest and youngest of those who dwell in heaven

Creator, defender, son, avenger Avatar and helper of the vulnerable

Uniter of the two lands who dwells at the horizon

And makes the bright sky his home

Your left eye is the moon, your right eye the sun

Double-crowned son of Aset

Fighter of desolation who listens to the prayers of those who entreat him

Your mother leaned on you in her darkest hour, and so do I now in prayer

Glad-hearted king of humanity

Hear the plea of [NAME] your worshipper

With a kind heart please deign answer

And to my modest home please come closer

[lexstellaris]

I have the daily draw post to do still, but I wanted to take the time to film my altars as they currently are and upload those to youtube, and that took longer to wrangle than I imagined it would bc ofc it did lol.

Here you can see my Senut shrine. There's a lot I could explain about it, but it IS late and tbh if you have questions, either use the yt comments or send asks and I'll answer them there. <3

This is my Hekate shrine and altar space. It's a lot bigger, and contains a lot more things, but it works for me. Also, yes, there's a lot of cauldrons don't judge. >_>

For reasons that I will be keeping personal for the most part, I will be leaving the Kemetic Pagan path and moving to a more Norse-centered one. This means I won't be posting Kemetic-related things anymore. I'm very sorry if that's what you primarily follow me for! But for me it's time to move on to something else.

I will be adding all of my Kemetic tags to this post so you can see things about specific Kemetic deities or topics if you would like to.

Thank you to everyone who has joined me on my journey so far! It's been a pleasure, and I hope you stick around 💕

Hey now, I'm sure he won some of them! Otherwise why would everyone let them keep going for a gazillion years

Bastet

Bastet is the Egyptian goddess of the home, domesticity, women's secrets, cats, fertility, and childbirth. She protected the home from evil spirits and disease, especially diseases associated with women and children. As with many deities in Egyptian religion, she also played a role in the afterlife.

She is sometimes depicted as a guide and helper to the dead although this was not one of her primary duties. She was the daughter of the sun god Ra and is associated with the concept of the Eye of Ra (the all-seeing eye) and the Distant Goddess (a female deity who leaves Ra and returns to bring transfromation). Bastet was one of the most popular deities of ancient Egypt as she was the protector of everyone's home and family.

Meaning of Bastet's Name

Her name was originally B'sst which became Ubaste, then Bast, then Bastet; the meaning of this name is not known or, at least, not universally agreed upon. Geraldine Pinch claims that "her name probably means She of the Ointment Jar" as she was associated with protection and protective ointments (115). The Greeks associated her closely with their goddess Artemis and believed that, as Artemis had a twin brother (Apollo) so should Bast. They associated Apollo with Horus, the son of Isis (Heru-sa-Aset) and so called the goddess known as Bast ba'Aset (Soul of Isis) which would be the literal translation of her name with the addition of the second 'T' to denote the feminine (Aset being among the Egyptian names for Isis).

Bastet, however, was also sometimes linked with the god of perfume and sweet smells, Nefertum, who was thought to be her son and this further links the meaning of her name to the ointment jar. The most obvious understanding would be that, originally, the name meant something like She of the Ointment Jar (Ubaste) and the Greeks changed the meaning to Soul of Isis as they associated her with the most popular goddess in Egypt. Even so, scholars have come to no agreement on the meaning of her name.

Horus seeing his dead father in the duat

[rosemaryonthehearth]

Something that I feel gets looked over a lot about my practice and faith is that I am not PURELY a Hellenic polytheist. I also worship Kemetic deities, especially Heru-sa-Aset. I cannot even begin to describe the blessings he has brought into my life. Particularly, one of the most surprising things that I don’t feel people talk about is the feeling of balance that he brings with him, a deep sense of internal ma’at. While there may be fast moments, there’s always a feeling of control, of order. Being pushed out of your comfort zone but always feeling like there is solid ground beneath your feet and his supportive wings holding you upright. His worship feels like being reminded of the joys and zest of life. It pairs, for me at least, very well with the worship of Wepwawet and Anpu. There is celebration in death as well, and one should not shy away from it. All is balanced within ma’at, including life and death.
