I've achieved a Tumblr milestone, and I've just hit 888 followers!

From the depths of my heart - Thank you to all of you for joining me on this spiritual journey!! The creation of this blog has been a journey and I'm so happy all of you are here with me. Let's continue to interact with each other, while learning and growing in our spiritual practices and powers.

This blog is nothing without all of you and so to honor all of you and to show my gratitude, I want to share a little bit more about the metaphysics of 888.

The number 888 holds sacred significance across various esoteric traditions, sacred geometry, numerology, and occult philosophies. Its presence is often associated with themes of balance, infinity, abundance, spiritual enlightenment, and cosmic harmony. This number is seen as a powerful symbol of regeneration, divine alignment, and the synthesis of spiritual and material worlds.

Key Interpretations of 888:

Numerologically, 888 is viewed as an amplified vibration of the number 8, often interpreted as balance, power, and karmic cycles.

Geometrically, it relates to the concept of infinity (as 8 is a horizontal infinity symbol) and cyclical patterns in sacred geometry.

In spiritual and religious contexts, it often symbolizes Christ consciousness, abundance, and spiritual mastery.

Numerology of 888

Core Essence of 8

In numerology, 8 is the number of power, authority, and balance. It represents:

Material and spiritual equilibrium (as above, so below).

The infinite flow of energy, often tied to karmic cycles and cause-effect dynamics.

Leadership, discipline, and manifestation.

When tripled as 888, these vibrations are magnified:

Balance in Trinities: The triple repetition suggests balance across three levels: physical, emotional, and spiritual.

Abundance and Flow: 888 is often associated with wealth, prosperity, and infinite energy flow.

Completion and Renewal: It represents cycles that are complete and ready for regeneration.

Spiritual Numerology: 888 and Christ Consciousness

In Christian mysticism, 888 is associated with Jesus Christ. This interpretation comes from the Greek gematria (numerical values of letters), where the name "Jesus" (Ἰησοῦς) equals 888:

This aligns 888 with spiritual enlightenment, salvation, and divine perfection.

It symbolizes the unity of the divine and the earthly.

Sacred Geometry and 888

1. Infinity and the Lemniscate

The number 8 is symbolically represented by the lemniscate (∞), the symbol of infinity. In sacred geometry:

The lemniscate reflects continuous flow and balance between opposites (duality, masculine and feminine energies, spiritual and material realms).

888, as three lemniscates, could represent infinite cycles operating on multiple levels.

2. Cubic and Octahedral Structures

In sacred geometry, the number 8 is associated with the cube and octahedron:

The cube represents material stability and foundation.

The octahedron, with eight triangular faces, is tied to air and balance in Platonic solids.

888’s Role:

Triple Cube Symbology: It signifies the harmonious union of the material and spiritual planes, forming a "trinity of creation."

Cosmic Triads: 888 may reflect the geometric patterns found in fractals and cosmic alignments.

The Occult Significance of 888

Hermetic Philosophy and As Above, So Below

Hermeticism emphasizes the principle "As above, so below." In occult traditions:

888 symbolizes alignment between the divine (above) and earthly (below) realms.

It represents the infinite cycles of creation, destruction, and renewal.

Kabbalistic and Mystical Interpretations

In Kabbalah, numbers hold esoteric meanings tied to the Sephirot (emanations of divine energy):

8 corresponds to Hod, the Sephirah of splendor and intellect, representing clarity and communication.

888 might amplify these energies, emphasizing divine alignment and manifestation.

Alchemy and Transformation

In alchemical traditions:

8 is tied to the Ouroboros, the serpent eating its own tail, symbolizing infinite cycles.

888 could represent spiritual transformation across three phases: nigredo (blackening), albedo (whitening), and rubedo (reddening).

Cross-Cultural and Spiritual Significance.

Chinese Numerology and 888

In Chinese culture, 8 is a highly auspicious number:

8 represents wealth, prosperity, and success.

888, being a repetition, is considered extremely lucky, symbolizing triple blessings.

Hindu and Buddhist Symbolism

In Hinduism and Buddhism:

8 relates to spiritual paths (e.g., the Eightfold Path in Buddhism).

888 might symbolize divine alignment and enlightenment across physical, mental, and spiritual domains.

Egyptian Mysticism

In ancient Egyptian symbolism:

The Ogdoad (group of eight deities) represents primordial creation forces.

888 could be interpreted as the triple unfolding of creation, preservation, and transformation.

Symbolism of 888 in Modern Esotericism

Angel Numbers and Synchronicity In angel numerology, seeing 888 repeatedly is interpreted as a sign of:

Financial blessings.

Divine encouragement and alignment.

Completing cycles and preparing for new beginnings.

Astrological Associations 888 resonates with Venus (love, harmony) and Saturn (cycles, karma), suggesting:

A balance of love and discipline.

Harmonizing karmic lessons.

As we can see the number 888 symbolizes balance, abundance, and spiritual mastery across many metaphysical traditions, which is deeply touching since this blog is intended to be a metaphysical place of learning. Its meanings in sacred geometry, numerology, and the occult emphasize infinite cycles, divine alignment, and cosmic harmony. The sacred essence of 888 makes it a potent symbol for transformation and manifestation in both spiritual and material realms. This is why having 888 followers is a huge milestone for me and indicative that we are on the right path on this spiritual journey together.

With Blessings & Protection

Forever Balanced in Harmony

This one is based on a long time fan favorite of mine. The father daughter relationship of Ajihad and Nasudada!!!

Imagine an origin myth that somebody might use to explain an eclipse, or some other celestial event.

---

When Nighstalker was a child. Not yet a Grown and fully realised maiden and with no claim yet to the Varden or Wandering tribes.Her father would work long hard hours by traveling and selling knives and other goods from butcher-shop door to butcher-shop door. There were no cold falcons of course, those were exclusivly for city dwelling folks and not follow up outreach on taxes.

Uncle Ajihad was a union worker for the varden. His brothers sisters and fellows still in bondage were as much family as the elves took in where-cats and those disowned by the Urgals. Without each other they had no land to work. the land they worked had the remains of a great war on the dragons. Buried in sandstone/shale/granite and the ocean. Stories of speculative fiction of terrible lizards and trails for hiking and rumors of wild monsters harmed by pure silver and copper bone. Giving discounts on ivory and bone of rabbit as long as the customer did not mind word of mouth and paying twice that for the swine meat.

This put food in their bellies, fire in the hearth and one more exclusive privelege to see how and when the children were being taught their lessons.While the man toiled with great skill. Pulling well practiced charm and charisma and hiding his sacred jewlry and hammar where none would dare to look. The father saw how to teach his favorite and only daughter all arts and disciplines of the world. trial by pen was just as deadly for the reistance as trial of the long swords.

he started by reading the fantasy that was well and considered uneducational by all in the land of Aeglaseia. With where to find the story keeper and his yam farm, the beloved man of sephardic lineage who slayed demons and refused to bury a corpse on saturday.

His job paid by the job not by the hour. something his late wife grew worried relentlessly about. Concerned that the disipline of politics he spent nearly half a decade mastering would fall dead in his tounge and mind.

The tools of the spinning wheel much to his shame had no place in his mind and tounge. The skill full way this Roman man figured out how to bore his captors into becoming leader of his own nation was an essential list of strategy. as well as geography to pass on to another freedom in the sunshine.

How wonderfully tantilizing and anxiety inducing it was to present himself at the front table at the company picnic (graceously loomed over by the darkened sky and threat of dragon fire). Speaking firmly and clearly at a podium about what the stars meant for their travels, and what direction they may turn next if taking trail by sundown and the cool of night was confusing.

Applause and the reveiwed points in note form from his peers in everything to sigils scribbled on note cards meant tally marks of all present to this event.

No help came from the queen of fair folk about anything but a complaint on the texture of the goods. So much for understanding the way of life and oral myth had to be preserved.A saving grace to send those the last living dragon rider wished to train in mathmatics, archetecture, agriculture and what to and not make medicine with, animal breeding for faster control of land and other basic disiplines for his chosen profession.

One thing other humans could be counted on for was good honest small talk.The folk in straw hats who found the trip up the mountain for trading affairs to be argous as much as he did were chatty. no very friendly because mid day he was on his seat making mapping corrections and with pitchfork in hand someones aunt and uncle were waving excitedly with two little ones that looked nothing alike in bone structure. apparently his tribe was not the only one who increased their numbers for saftey in voting and defense through fostering unfortunate whelps.

maybe one day, if he worked hard enough. the chains, the long hours on a show horse. the foolish stares of people who saught entertainment and not merchendise. It would all be worth it. With no strong female role model, nightshade's father worried his favorite child would not feel beutiful without frills that covered much of her flesh and powerded makeup for court. May that foul tradition of having shame in the skin provided by birthright and motherland to defend against the hot sun.

Damage though mostly temporar; Was still possible, having a retail profession allowed the control and hospitality to not force all in attendance to eat a purely omnivore diet seven days a week. It was nice to not worry about weather the last remaining peice of his wife

Telling stories of the great man in a tower who dreaded his hair knots and chose to sail the open sea with a black beard! But only some women with deeper voices grew beards (and had huskier frames, just as a variety to clothing and not because snake people are completly extinct.

No dream could be had but the one that it was no longer illegal to separate children by the softer sciences and the technical practical skills.There was no diffrence between the manager who could not provide results to the steel worker who does not read instruction well.

The horse was tied to the post and his daughter Nasuada waived excitibly from the window. the book lender hearded some other rowdy patrons inside the building of a small workhouse for the evening meal and greeted her father Ajahad with a professional yet relived grin.

A friendly hug was exchanged and a large, thick hand covered in leather exited the craft time in the public square as a smaller and less experianced black person chatted away excitedly to the horse about chess strategy, dad might be to tired to pay attention and feel asleep standing up again.Good time to be silent and work on strategy practice in checkers, chess and backgammon.

Nova was noticing the low stock about the time Dmitry spoke up.

He kept going before she spoke back though.

Home Alone meets Walking Dead. This was where Nova could have been lost considering she might not have been up to date on everything current in movieland. However Home Alone was a Christmas classic and shown at the center. She had not seen Walking Dead but the title spoke for itself and she easily put two and two together.

"Something like that."

She listened to what Dmitry had planned to do in great detail with his list of paints. He even was working on blue prints right there in front of her apparently mapping the whole thing out. She kept pretty quiet which seemed to keep pulling chatter out of the other.

Then she finally found room to address a bit of it all at once.

"Hmm. Yes. That's smart. It could come in handy for ritual mapping. Smart to go shopping too. Rations are in short supply."

"I just wonder if you'll actually eat it, deprive yourself, or waste it and throw it up, or if we're going to be able to store properly here?"

Oh yes, she was noticing that quick. The woman lived in a mental hospital for years. She could see the signs.

Then she came over and looked closer at what he had drawn already thinking a little further. It was a large house. She wasn't sure how many rooms they actually had.

"Do you think you could paint perfect circles mathmatically correct sacred geometry on the floors under certain constellations for each season?"

That morning, Dmitry woke up in a cheerful mood. He was glad that Nico was happy, relieved that Nova was safe (and that she hadn't randomly left overnight) and excited to work on the house throughout the day. He even had some of that breakfast Nico made, mostly because he generally found it hard to reject sweet foods and cinnamon toast is delicious. He didn't eat much, but he didn't skip it altogether either like he might have on a different day. He took care of feeding Lisbeth, Gary, and the boars also, giving each of them fresh food and water before going on with his day.

He didn't seem to mind Nova rifling through the kitchen. It wasn't like there was anything to hide, plus she lived here now too, he figured. Snooping through his personal belongings might have been more of an issue, but that was over elsewhere and so it wasn't in the current purview. "We gotta go grocery shopping, but I'll do that later," he commented regarding the kitchen contents, attention still on his sketch.

Dmitry listened to Nova's explanation while he used a ruler to sketch a grid onto the paper he was using. This was to make sure he could place the stars where they actually go; he fully intended the ceiling stars to be accurate. He glanced at her, "So like Home Alone meets Walking Dead or something?" Then suddenly completely serious, like he wasn't playing around and really meant it, "If it'll keep them away, then good." Anything to keep Chernabog and other monsters away was worth implementing, he figured. He almost asked for more details on whatever she was planning on doing but decided to save that for later.

As for what he was doing, he showed the beginnings of the sketch to Nova. "So this is the living room and kitchen, obviously, and I have a few more pages of this to make so I can plot the whole house, but basically... I'm going to make a giant planisphere on the ceilings. It's just a thing I like to do, makes it feel like home to me y'know? I'm saving the attic for last, I wanna make sure there's no leaks first. But basically, I'm measuring out how big the rooms are so I can scale it properly. This grid," he pointed, "is a reference from north and I'm going to use the edges where walls begin as a sort of horizon. Like... If you're standing in a city and you look up, buildings frame the sides? Something like that but I'm pretending that we're in a proper dark sky zone so you can actually see anything. I decided each level of the house will be a different season's sky, and I'm centering Polaris right here," he pointed to the middle of the living room," since it's where we hang out most."

Real math and science has been hidden from most of us.

[cosmic-gnostic]

Illuminism is a religion, philosophy and science expressed through the medium of Ontological Mathematics. Firstly, let's view it as a religion. In this way, it is the highest expression of Gnosticism. Gnosticism is the belief that the material world is controlled by a malevolent creator known as the Demiurge. This world is the hell he created in which humanity finds itself held prisoner. The material world is seductive at the first glance, and that is how the Demiurge tempts souls into it, once trapped they forget how to get out again. It is the goal of the Gnostic, to rediscover that sacred knowledge required to return to the 'Pleroma.' Immaterial heaven where the true immaterial God resides. Once a soul learns this knowledge, they are themselves immaterial, and as a result they become a God! Illuminism is about becoming God. #gnostic #illuminism #philsosophy #religion #mysticism #science #mathmatics #knowledge #god #sacred

If Hebrew numerals have power no matter what, does that mean if I translate an intention into Hebrew numerals have I started to create a spell? Curious wizard academic follow up, if I charge it with a pinprick of blood then release it with fire I’ll end up . . . ?

WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST SAY ABOUT NOT USING HEBREW NUMERALS

YOU DID NOT GO TO KABBALISTIC RABBINICAL SCHOOL ATTEMPTING TO USE SACRED MATHMATICS IS AT BEST RACIST AND AT WORST WILL GET YOU KILLED

[rwmhunt]

Leviticus, chapter 27

1. Smoke.

2. Indeed, at the time, to the roles ascribed, as unto a gender,

Be it so aligned, that you wouldn't find to express by yourself

Such ways as others divined, as otherwise, you might have thought to.

For it is that they wouldn’t look the way you would mean to appear,

Nor would they be pursuant of the actions that you wouldst be undoing of;

But, tis normal to be inspired- so

Then experience revelations, and the found skills that're of being alive;

To acknowledge them and allow for their alterance as unto others irrevocably.

See, Erotion can never go back.

Her auxiliary capacious desire is here ignited and thrust.

It is this passion that both excited the lord,

and hath made of her the compulsive conclusion.

For where the lord hath giv'n unto her

Of a low forrid, owl features, a froward, evilfavouredness–

Yet, hath she a mallum, passive and usable; and of how many shekels?

We shall see.

But the freedom that hath brought me to her

Might moreover be wrought agin us.

Here, you really have to drill down on the mental illness,

As I, my own actress.

3. Come madame,

Come all the rest.

O

Shagahll ahnaaah-

Which translate here as

Escrow, usufruct,

Lo, my

Incarnate ignominy,

In relatively tepid water,

Whimsy, say, jsyk, that

She'd hair like a whip

And pretty good eyes,

And if it be a female,

By such metric

As flux the matrix, yet,

I know not who I am, Erotion,

So know me only by my appetites.

4. Only in death,

At the courts of love,

Doth a woman gain of herself

Judgement as unto crime's advantage.

And still, I mean,

They're shaken still, as unto this day. 

For that they have still not recovered

And I know not that ever they will.

I love you as

Can experience

Nothing through you

O wait, but didn't I just?

That gait, that fate, that lately

Fell to someone else's statement-

Leviticus? That you? I know why

You’ve got to focus on this sort of stuff, 

But I really think, I think really that that is not 

Where the numbers are;

I’m talking to today,

As women

Imagine their bodies

To be their own.

5. To every little girl watching tonight;

Of five years, even unto twenty,

That thy worth shouldst be as a fifth

of thy fathers-

Those men who hath brought you forth,

For as thy be their daughters,

Here to see what I will prove

Unable to do;

In the singular vow-

To shew verily

What you need

Is a system of value judgements,

Set out so, before the lord. In shekels.

And where social shame provideth not enough discipline,

Graft unto it from the rod of cultural capital-

Say, that because the Children are inherently bad,

And aware only of their denial, might they

Be tripped into taking an onus

That isn't rightly theirs, so do good by it,

Or else, bloody-minded,

They hyperchargeth the tendencies that demarkate

My eternal and internal boundaries, or,

Maybe, my babies,

It's time to join the can cult;

To get a new book-

If such be my contribution,

Then such is enough.

6. Non-mathmatical aesthetic identities,

According to the valuation, as clearly uttered-

Though it be of an accident, with a minced oath attachment,

And baked-in with wild conjecture, yet, me thinks, I heard-

Piled high, of thousands, a pressure mountain, ah,

But we have a different scribe here to the last, imho.

So Mose has handed over the keys, though, I don't know

The hand that handled the sword as his, really, either...

For here, calculators are wrought, and to the ready,

But we'll dispatch with them, it is not necessary;

Set that ceaseless bucket down.

7. And the bawling of missives, meant for one, there unto all-

The original context collapsing; grafted deep onto him in death,

Riding out his memory towards a destiny of Her own choosing, who,

By whatever generosity in prior tact the intended might have possessed,

As wouldst prove to be a benison, if brought unto the conflagration, it's lost;

Even, forced out beyond itself, and the function,

Encouraged to carve up the message unto its own ends,

Where the loss of context is pulled out of its context and loved.

8. The imposition of women,

A short for sacrifice of well-being,

As She, ultimately, makes sacrifice of herself for her appetites,

But, de gustibus, in grafting them unto her in death,

So She truly hath lived, there be no defeat-

And riding forth her memory towards a hell of her own choosing,

As to scrutinise the system, adequately substantiates it's requirement-

Thy confirmation, by corroboration with a backward-thinking;

Too poor to be valued, a daylight over static water,

O whimsy,

That a priest should find a way with,

What’s lower than an afterthought?

I don't remember.

9. Is death hell?  Sheol? A well

Avernus, tartarus, hades,

A shale shell,

Too deep to see the stars from?-

Doth your bird speake?

Not as a rule, but as

A narratal tool-

10. Exchanges are not to be made,

Lo. but if they, yet so; then holy be-

I heard she'd words with the chatty rat,

That as earn you side-eye from fellow travellers-

Nae, twas just a flurry of feathers,

Like pigeons who momentarily flummox eachother

Into a figment of a fox, by misreading of the other's,

Otherwise meaningless, sudden motion;

So only as you are;

Never shall thy speake.

11. And should a priest do as he be bid,

And look the gift horse lowly, well,

He hath abused his powers,

And abusers are cowards,

Feared of their just desserts,

Should they try to revert

To a precedent

That's slumpt, inert,

And just is.

12.  To drop the eyes, so take

the focus off the waiting.

One handed,

Straineth, and,

Before I lose my medical status,

Make a mimesis to

The viability-shield

Of barrier nursing.

13. And there was an evening

When she cursed,

Turned white overnight-

Not even only just her hair.

And it ran on for days,

Days as months

That aged like years;

So, acuity straid,

Don't say impaired-

We just hang on.

14. In unspoken dotage,

She ordered a home report unto

My eternal and internal boundaries,

As global eyes be a-watching you;

In real time, you can't go back.

Lo, not like that you can't-

Details fetishized, or forgot,

And writes that she loves Jhwh,

Using an exclamation point to add an extra emphasis.

- I don't think I need to do anything else.

- I don't think I do either.

Alright then.

I'm saved, as while outside,

The world is raging,

As global eyes swell watching you,

The forgotten who fell from the storm;

Here, you really have to have a drill-down on the mental ills.

15. Yet after all the work, the depth,

I do think now only of numbers;

Where are the convolutions

That a life as this requires?

Lo, but my cut please.

16. Out to the field, the trap, she went,

Lifting the flap

From the batter'd tent,

The old vhs player, the old liniments,

Tinctures, unguents, hartshorn, clinked,

One silver shekel, minted anew,

Glinting from a box of screws,

Fungus sprung from a seam in the pattern,

Tins of yam and of sacred beans,

A scientologist's half-filled-in questionnaire,

Some garden tools, a dressing gown,

The buried bones, exhumed again,

The climbing harness, the bathroom rug,

The old kitchen table, stained with blood-

A water-damaged iliad upon it, still,

As everything was- quite sodden.

17. So, by visitation,

To or from Aunt Miriam

That changes were rung

Within the domestic routine,

Being within walking distance

To the Post Office

And from what comes of the tent of meaning.

18. Lo, for she loved her processes

As a kind of glockenspiel

And when arose opportunity,

Tinked it for the rest of us

- That it ran through us all-

A thimble's klang; O Jubilee.

19. If tears are the understanding of grief,

Then differential can be deferential,

- But do not let Miriam be led

Like a baby that is born dead,

As dead things that never were,

With a body that is only half there,

To be wondered of a second childhood-

So here Mose crows, plied to a strain

Unknown in the voice, alone,

- Please Lord, make her well!

And there was no water for the congregation.

20. And went down

Through Joppa

To watch the waves rolling in,

21. And Erotion ascribed unto each,

Meaning,

22. And farther out

Were many waves

That couldn't be

determined,

As everything that

Has already been said.

23. Yet Erotion still tried,

And was always happy

With her answers,

And so was I.

24. Where tiny grains of hail

Should swell into orbiting moons,

And pull at bodies,

And make wider water move,

That might be discerned

And distanced, and rifled for meaning

As mere memorandum.

25. That you may not break the speed limit

Does not mean you may not run,

Whence, from one chair

In her kitchen,

She may not push

The boundary of human thought

Where she may yet

Press of her own;

26. And rising, she taketh a step,

The like which is more of a push from the back

Than a reaching with the front

Of such manner as Dr Molock wouldst

Consider to be good; nevertheless,

She doth so switcheth on the radio

And is met with applause.

27. Theory of relativity ran thus-

Trained to shoot missed rounds at centre-mass,

Against the retroviral doctrine of lache's mutinous strikes;

A high-stress phase, where stakes hit low-calibre bystander.

But when she read, of the self-help book,

That no sense could thus be made,

Where each of the examples

Suffered a circumstance

Different to him,

She deemed.

28. Notwithstanding no devoted thing

Being here redeemed, evangelicals,

The difference between being washed over,

And taking something up from the wash-

And coming back with it, and thence,

holding it to a burthen, is easy to see, 

Only after.

29. Ransom and be gored,

As all masacres, undertaken

To guarantee the peace;

So let the bodies pile high: 

Same customs revolved, same characters.

You can take his horn-torn shirt unto thy sister;

That she was tough as old eggs,

In returning from the engine room;

Unctioned only; as still alive;

The perpetual repair.

30. Finally Miriam,

Over the hill,

Rose out

From the face of family impasse,

Repurposed the old

To adapt to the current;

Rode forth

To the corner,

In  'de Gustibus,-

The Solid Scran Van',

She says she means of herself

A safety net, to be

The wheel in the street,

31. And looketh up to see

God's face in the moon

Or whatever it was

That can't be drawn

And I won't be drawn.

32. As round the tent entrance

of a palace of cloud, plastered in doubloons,

And cannot be kept from my imagination,

And what I perseve is right lively to the world-

Das ding und sich and such and but;

For I'll be the judge of that, and to my bias-

Whatsoever cloys under the great varnisher,

Who layers the crack in the camel's back,

That yet, we all must press low under,

In sweetness and/or in revulsion,

Where we too are fallible, still

The lord must only be cute.

Lo, but i hold no decree

And yet am repulsed

By vitric surfactants.

33. A relationship, broken in three places,

Months after a tremendously successful campaign cycle,

Where I, a simple volunteer, am accused

Of such stuff as I do not do, while the A.B.C.

Confirmeth or annuls the meaning,

With one Boeing E-6B Mercury flying off the East Coast;

With another high over Oregon- lo, practically,

Laws are abstract,

And will not bend

To their being wrong,

When unto him a dybbuk,

And; the series is severed,

The characters gone.

Don't look.

Gives you memories.

34. So be.

- For, it's that we're made

Of an edible stuff, mulled the steer.

-Nae, for I ate my piglets and now

I'm glad of it, said the sow;

Lo.

-All's well.

Ptah: Ptah (depicted top left) was a luna God said to be the husband of Bastet or Sekhmet and was thus father of Nefertem and Maahes.

Ptah was often described as self-creating and sometimes credited with creating the universe he also God of craftsmen, metallurgy, sculptors, ship builders and carpenters suggesting that he may be related to Egyptian builder cults.

Ra was said to have fathered Shu and Tefnut in some myths and in others he was born from the unfurling of the lotus in the primordial waters of creation. Ra is said to have created Hathor, Sekhmet and Bastet who are all also his consorts and daughters and ultimately one Goddess identified as the “Eye of Ra”. Ra took many forms and was merged with many deities including: Amun, Horus, Atum and Khepri he also had a female counterpart making him an androdgynous being she was known as Raet-Tawy. Ra literally represented the sun and was depicted as the sun, when merged with other deities they were depicted with the sun disc on their heads. Ra was said to travel in two boats across the sky (Nut) these were Mandjet in the morning and Mesektet in the evening. When Ra was upon Mandjet he took the form of a ram and was accompanied by the deities Sia, Hu and Heka. In the evenings Ra was accompanied by other deities such as Seth. Ra was said to battle each night with the serpent God of chaos Apophis and was said to be swallowed and sent to the underworld each night to become one with Osiris and was then reborn victorious in the mornings as Horus - the sun on the horizon (Horus-Risen).

Raet-Tawy: Raet-Tawy was the female aspect of the sun God Ra and may have come to influence later Goddesses such as Hathor.

Rem: Rem (depicted top right) was known as the “tears of Ra” and was a fish God said to fertilize the land with his weeping which then provided vegetation, amphibians and reptiles. Rem was a male counterpart to Hatmehit a fish Goddess known as the “Eye of Ra” this pair may have influenced the star sign of Pisces as they are known to be the two fish protecting the sun Gods boat.

Renenutet: Renenutet was a cobra-headed Goddess often depicted as an aspect of Ma’at with the feather of truth on her head she was said to give the Ren (name) at birth and was mother of Nehebkau who bound the Ba (soul) to the Ka (vital spark).

One of Satis’s titles was “she who runs like an arrow”, which is thought to refer to the river current and as such her symbols became the arrow and running river. Satis was pictured as a woman wearing the conical crown with gazelle or antelope horns or as an antelope - a fast moving creature that lived along the Niles banks. Satis was often depicted with a bow and arrows however she may also be depicted with an ankh symbolising the life giving powers of the Nile. Satis acted as a fertility Goddess who graunted the wishes of those who sought out love. Satis is also described as offering jars of purifying water. Satis would later be described as a consort of Khnum. Satis is also one of the Goddesses refered to as the “Eye of Ra”.

Sekhmet: Sekhmet (depicted second row and left) is the lioness-headed Goddess of war and wife of Ptah, she was said to be born from the fiery gaze of Ra gaining her title “Eye of Ra” and eventually became Bastet and Hathor. Sekhmet is also described as mother of Nerfertem and Maahes. Sekhmet was a Goddess of fire and vengeance and was known as “arbiter of the divine justice of the Goddess Ma’at”. Sekhmet also held the titles “one before whom evil trembles”, “lady of slaughter”, “mistress of dread” and “lady of the flame”, in these respects she can be seen as an ambivalent force both a protective Goddess against demons and as a force of evil herself. Sekhmet had a close association with blood and was only ever dressed in red likewise she was once sent to end humanity by utilising her powers as eye of Ra only to be tricked into drinking alcahol which pacified her and transformed her into Bastet this story influenced the worship of Sekhmet with rituals involving wine and associating her with the flood Nile when it coloured red with clay and silt. Sekhmet was often depicted with a sun disc and Uraeus on her head while holding a scepter and ankh.

Selket: Selket (depicted second row and central) was a scorpion Goddess sometimes depicted as a scorpion with a womans head, chest and arms and at other times as a woman with a scorpion on her head holding a scepter and ankh. Selket was the Goddess of poison, venom and venomous creatures as well as medicine and was invoked to cure those who were suffering as a result of such things, she was also a fertility Goddess associated with nature and magic. Selket was associated with protection from venomous creatures and thus also from demons and particularly Apophis who she guarded once he was captured and bound. Since venomous bites could lead to death Selket was said to be protector of the dead also and was a consort of Horus and the mother of the four sons of Horus who protected the organs of the dead. Selket was made up of other scorpion Goddesses such as Hedetet and ultimately became synonymous with Isis.

Sheshat: Sheshat or Seshat (depicted second row and right) was a Goddess of scribes and messurment who was acredited with discovering writting and was also a Goddess of architecture, astronomy, astrology, building, mathematics, surveying and cannabis. As a Goddess of architecture and messurements Sheshat likely relates to early Egyptian builder cults. Sheshat is usually depicted holding a palm stem, bearing notches to denote the recording of the passage of time, especially for keeping track of the allotment of time for the life of the pharoah. Sheshat was also depicted holding other tools and often holding the knotted cords that were stretched to survey land and structures. Sheshat is frequently shown dressed in a cheetah or leopard hide - a symbol of funerary priests, the pattern on this hide was thought to represent the stars, being a symbol of eternity and association with the night sky and indicating the need to messure celestial objects and their movements in the workings of astrology. As the divine messurer and scribe, Sheshat was believed to appear to assist the pharoah in both these practices. Sheshat was said to assist the pharoah in the “stretching the cord” ritual, a ritual related to laying out the foundations of temples and other important structures in order to determine and assure the sacred alignments and precision of dimensions of the building. The use of hemp ropes for messurement meant that Sheshat was important in surveying the land after the annual floods to reestablish boundary lines. Sheshat’s priestesses were trained in mathmatics and knowledge related to meassurement and often oversaw the work of the builder cults and slaves used in the building process. Sheshat was also depicted with a seven pointed cannabis leaf on her head this is because of the hemp ropes created for meassurement but also relates to ritual uses of the cannabis plant for example a line in the coffin texts reads “Sheshat opens the doors to heaven for you”. Sheshat was thought to be the daughter and consort of Thoth and an aspect of the Goddess Ma’at, this is drawn from the fact that Ma’at as a set of balance scales is a system of messurement requiring calibration, Sheshat is often depicted near the scales of Ma’at as a plum level or as the Merkhet - a cord and plum-level tool used in ancient Egyptian astrology.

Seth: Seth was born of the union of Nut and Geb and was a brother of Osiris, Isis and Nephthys. Nephthys was the consort of Seth but had the child Anubis with Osiris causing a bitter rivalry between Seth and Osiris and it was Seth who cut Osiris into thirteen pieces and scattered them. Seth represented the barren deserts of the red lands of upper Egypt and was said to be infertile after Horus destroyed his testicles in revenge for Seth scratching out Horus’s left eye. Horus and Seth were said to engage in many competitions for the throne of Egypt with Horus ultimately being the victor. Seth was the God of darkness, chaos, the desert, storms, violence and foreigners he was depicted as a man with the head of an unknown animal known as the “Set”/“Seth” animal however in later works he is depicted as a donkey. Seth as a God of darkness showing the period where the sun went below the horizon at sun-set but accompanied Ra on his solar boat to help fight the chaos God Apophis. Seth was often depicted holding a scepter and ankh.

Shay: Shay was the Egyptian deification of fate not usually assigned a gender and sometimes androdgynous appearing both male and female. Shay has a variety of consorts including Mesnet, Renenutet and Ren.

Shezmu: Shezmu was a demonic God of the underworld sometimes hawk-headed and at other times lion-headed, he was said to wear human skulls as a belt and was a God of execution, oils, perfumes and wines in particular he was said to give red wine to the virtuous dead and to slaughter the unholy dead by forcing them into a wine press to turn their blood into wine, he was connected to Sekhmet from this association but as a God of perfumes and oils he is also connected to Nefertem who was given a similar connotation from the plesant smell of the Egyptian sacred water lily. As a deity of oils Shezmu was closely linked to the embalming process.

Shu: Shu (depicted third row and left) was the God of the air and consort of his sister Tefnut, the pair were both born of Atum and Iusaaset and spawned the sky Goddess Nut and earth God Geb between them. Shu was charged by Ra to uphold the sky Goddess Nut from her brother Geb forbidding the two from further union after the birth of Osiris, Isis, Seth and Nephthys, in this role as the air upholding the sky Shu became associated with a ladder of ascension or ladder to heaven which would parallel in later Kabbalistic symbologies where the tree of life is refered to as “Jacobs Ladder” alongside other mystical ladders in other traditions with the same meaning of ascension thus Shu was titled “he who rises/raises up”, this is further explained since Shu also embodies the feather of truth of weighing scales of Ma’at which granted ascension to any soul whos Ib (heart) weighed equal or less than the feather. Shu was often depicted upholding the sky or with an ankh and scepter and was seen as a duality in the world because he caused the seperation between Nut and Geb.

Sia: Sia was the deification of intellect snd commandment and was part of the trinity of magical deities including his brothers Heka and Hu. Sia was said to accompany Ra alongside Heka and Hu during his day voyage across the sky and was himself a deity of wisdom.

Sobek was likely a solar deity at times merged with both Horus and Ra. Sobek was a fierce deity associated with social crimes such as robery and perversions, he was also a deity associated with healing and funerary rites. Sobek was worshiped at crocodilopolis in the form of sacred crocodiles kept in large pools they were interpreted as oracles and were mummified once they died.

Sokar was part of a trinity of Gods alongside Osiris and Ptah forming Ptah-Sokar-Osiris. Due to his connection with Ptah, Sokar was also seen as a God of craftsmen and possibly related to ancient builder cults. Sokar was also depicted standing on the back of a serpent with his wings outstretched in an emblem thought to denote resurrection.

Sopdet: Sopdet is the Goddess of the star Sirius which is the brightest star in the night sky, it also forms part of Orions belt with three other stars that in Egyptian times were thought to be Osiris, Isis and Horus, the pyramids of Giza were aligned with them. Sirius rises in the sky at around the same time that the Nile flooded each year this caused Sopdet to be associated with the fertility that the flooded Nile brings as well as with other deities of the Nile. Sopdet was depicted as a woman holding an ankh with a five-pointed star on her head.

Ta-Bitijet: A scorpion Goddess and aspect of Selket who bore the four sons of Horus from her union with Horus. Ta-Bitijet is the “lady of the menstrual blood” as it was written that when Horus penetrated her hymen the blood that flowed forth was a cure for all poisons, this is likely a metaphore for the ritual use of menstrual blood for healing and in sacred marriage rituals.

Tatenen: Tatenen was the personification of the Benben land that rose from the abyss when Atum created it. Tatenen was androdgynous and seen as a protector of nature. Tatenen was seen as the personification of Egypt and as an aspect of Geb. Tatenen wielded a magic mace that was shaped to venerate the hawk or falcon called the “great white of the earth creator” it was used in battles against the chaos God Apophis and may relate to the earlier Sumerian mace Sharur. Tatenen eventually became synonymous with Ptah as the one who had set up the djed pillars of stability in the land of Egypt. Tatenen was also a God of vegetation and fertility and was often depicted as seated with green skin and a pharoahs beard with either a crown or rams horns and a sun disc or with two serpents on his head.

Taweret: Taweret (depicted third row and right) was a protective Goddess of childbirth and fertility shown as a bipedal hippopotamus with cat-like claws, large pregnant belly and human breasts. Taweret was identified as a hippopotamus because the female hippopotamus is so protective of its young. Taweret is sometimes a consort of Seth because the Male hippopotamus was considered a symbol of chaos. Taweret was the main Goddess among a group of Goddesses identified as hippopotamuses who were all likewise deities of childbirth and fertility. Taweret was closely associated with ritual knives and wands made of hippopotamus ivory that were used in magic formulas designed to aid the process of childbirth (possibly early caesereans or for cutting umbilical cords). Taweret was closely associated with the Nile and was said to purify its waters she was also said to purify the dead in their passage through the afterlife making her a Goddess of rejuvenation. Taweret is closely linked to the Goddess Hathor and is often seen as an aspect of her. As a dangerous animal the association between the hippopotamus and Taweret could include the death of children during child birth as well as being used as a powerful image thought to ward off evil spirits that might harm children.

Tayet: Tayet was a Goddess of purification and protection said to weave the bandages used in mummification this connected her to all the funeral deities as well as deities of fate making her a lesser aspect of the Goddess Neith.

Tefnut is often depicted as a lioness-headed Goddess wearing a long wig with a solar disc on her head, she is usually shown seated on a throne holding a scepter, she is sometimes depicted as an androdgynous image that bares the head of both Tefnut and Shu as one being in reference to Hieros Gamos.

Thoth: Thoth (as depicted bottom) was shown to have the head of an ibis or babboon and was a male God of the moon and scribes he was sometimes the consort of Sheshat or Ma’at. Thoth held a position on the boat of the sun God Ra. Thoth was also a God of sciences, alchemy and magic as well as philosophy, religion and wisdom. Thoth was closely associated with the judgement of the dead where he records the judgement of Ma’at against the dead soul. Thoth was often depicted with a crescent moon on his head and a full moon above it, at other times he was depicted with a crown. Thoth also served as a mediating power between good and evil insuring fair judgement between the two. Thoth was said to have produced the calculations for the establishment of the heavens and their celestial bodies and was also said to have directed their movements linking him with astrology.

Unut: An early Egyptian Goddess in the form of a snake whose name means “swiftness” she was also depicted with the lower half of a serpent, the body of a woman and the head of a hare. Unut was associated with moon deities but her specific role is unknown.

Wadjet was also depicted as a two-headed snake-woman, as a snake around the sun-disc and as a woman with a single snake head. Wadjet in the form of the Uraeus is also sometimes depicted crawling up a papyrus staff in a symbol related to the later Greek wand of Aesclepius and Caduceus. Wadjet may also be an Egyptian version of the Ouroboros and potentially signified time. Wadjet likely represents an Egyptian kundalini/serpent energy mystery. Wadjet was the protector of Ra and in some myths was the great serpent which forms the milkyway galaxy and in this role she was closely associated with Hathor, she would later also be co-absorbed into the mythologies of Bastet.

Wepwawet: A war God seen to be the brother or son of Anubis and also like Anubis being represented by either a jackal or wolf, Wepwawet was also a God of hunting and was commonly pictured on the standards of Egyptian soldiers and on the thrones of pharoahs. Wepwawet in the form of the wolf was also depicted on the front of the boat of the sun God, Ra where he acted as a scout seeking out paths gaining him the title “opener of ways” which is also a title of the Goddess Neith who is associated with both Anubis and Wepwawet from her position as a funeral deity, since Wepwawet was the scout of the boat of Ra he was seen as a psychopomp guiding the souls of the dead.

Werethekau: The deification of supernatural powers and thus her name means “great of magic” or “great enchantress”. Werethekau was a Goddess of protection whose image appears on funeral items particularly ivory weapons ment to allow the dead to protect themselves and to assist women in child birth which makes her a greater aspect of Taweret. Werethekau was seen to be the Goddess of the twin crowns of unified Egypt snd as such was represented as serpent or lion headed linking her to Wadjet and Sekhmet respectively likely in reference to the great power of the third eye of Ra to create or destroy. Werethekau is an epitath often bestowed upon Isis and her previous forms such as Mut, Neith, Iusaaset and Hathor.

Sacred geometry

Sacred geometry ascribes symbolic and sacred meanings to certain geometric shapes and proportions. It is associated with the belief that a god is the geometer of the world. The sacred geometry designs are used in things such as religious structures,churches, temples,mosques, monuments etc. The concept also applies to places that are seen as sacred for example, sacred groves, village greens, and holy wells. The scared geometry explores the relationships between shapes and space within mathmatics, geometry was one of the most impressive and useful branches of mathmatics.

It relates to the universe because it links to the religion and belief in either god or a higher power. The stars are a big part of religion and the connections of beliefs. Sacred geometry was discovered in the Egyptian and Mesopotamanian times, the Egyptians focused on the stars and scared symbols throughout their religion. Scared geometry is also used in the Buddhist culture and is found inn many of their buildings and other things which are included in their religion.

I could use the sacred geometry to unsmoked my design ideas because there are so many different symbols and designs. When I do my pendulum painting I will use inspiration form the symbols to create some really interesting outcomes. I can use the shapes and lines which I see in the geometry to then turn into textiles pieces not just in pendulum paintings but other techniques I do to further in the the project.

Mathmatics don’t have to be seperate from magic! There’s an entire system of magic called “sacred geometry”. The Viking society left the finnancials to women because math was seen as a form of magic, which itself was seen as mainly feminine.

I’ve been approaching fractals as sort of rune or sigil that I can then incorporate into my craft. I have dyscalculia so my brain is hardwired to hate most concrete math (like the actual act of adding/multiplying/etc) is hard for me, which is frustrating because the symmetry and concept of fractals seem so cool, but trying to read about it leads me only to paragraphs like the following:

Which makes me want to explode.

are there any witch-y magic people out there who incorporate fractals into their craft? I’m looking to delve into it but the only info i can find on fractals is like 100% math related and it’s all at a level that makes my gay little brain hurt...

Our handstrung 108 mala bead necklaces feature semi-precious stones like these radiant Moss Agate beads. Check them out at Soul Flower... A little more about mala beads: traditionally used as a tool to count the number of times a mantra is repeated, breaths taken while meditating, or the amount of prostrations. In Tibetan Buddhism, common numbers of beads are 21, 28, or 108. A typical modern mala “necklace” has 108 beads today. The number 108 carry a lot of significance, not just in Buddhism and Hiduism, but also in astronomy, mathmatics, and sacred geometry! When applied to mala beads, the 108 represents the number of repetitions you focus on while using the beads.
