“I thought you didn’t like human contact.”

“I don’t not like it. I just like to know it’s coming.”

“I’ve tried approaching you slowly but that doesn’t seem to work.”

“You’re too cautious, it freaks me out. You have to move with confidence. I’m like a skittish horse, I go based on your energy.”

I don’t have much to say about this other that I found out Khnum is married to Heket and that is very interesting to me.

Just wanted to do some designs so this probs wont be a reoccurring au.

It's the end of the year, with Christmas and New Year's celebrations. Did you know that the ancient Egyptians already had the notion of 12 months in the year and the celebration of the New Year? This makes me wonder what the gods were doing at these times. After all, regardless of the Christian meaning they forced on this date (since it was a pagan date before), it's a time for gatherings

It's Horus' birthday, so he clearly spends the whole day talking about it and wanting to receive gifts. Unfortunately for him, he's the typical case of people who only get one gift for Christmas and their birthday

Hathor is definitely organizing a huge family dinner and setting up a shiny Christmas tree in the middle of the palace. She lets Ihy put up the Christmas star

Imseti and Hapi definitely still think Santa Claus exists

Seth didn't want to go, but since he was forced, he's going to make it everyone's problem and bring the silliest arguments to the table. Unfortunately, no one is immune to Seth's annoyance, so they end up arguing a lot all night long

Isis just wanted an excuse to get the family together and celebrate, but half of the family hates each other and the other half is so distant that it's hard to find them. She spent most of the year getting them together for this party, so Isis definitely brought a lot of good food and several gifts for the ones she really loves

Thoth and Ma'at show up for two minutes to wish Horus a happy Christmas/birthday and then disappear back to their work

Anubis didn't want to be there and he really isn't. He stayed for the first half hour, saw the first fight and then sneaked out. He won't be seen again until January

Nephthys loves family gatherings and is the one who brings albums and takes lots of pictures

Sekhmet and Sobek keep betting on who can set off the most fireworks and have already burned a few things in the process

Osiris is wearing his beloved custom sweaters for Christmas. He makes Isis and Horus wear them too. And he is definitely the uncle who makes the stupid jokes at Christmas dinner, sorry but I don't make the rules

Serket keeps changing the song every five seconds because nothing pleases her, ignoring the others' complaints by skipping songs they like

Wadjet and Tawaret are trying to keep the children busy so they don't turn the palace upside down, but they keep getting distracted by talking and the cute decorations in the house

Ptah and Khnum are just in the corner, enjoying the few snippets of music they can hear while they talk about life. There might be a lot of crying in a few minutes

Kebechet really wanted to stay awake and see in the New Year with her parents, but she fell asleep in a few minutes and didn't wake up even with the noisy family

Gebe and Nut spend New Year's Eve in love and ignoring the rest of the family

Anput gives the best gifts for Secret Santa and New Year's Eve, but she always ends up getting things like socks and picture frames

On New Year's, it must be a different kind of gathering. Everyone gathers at the Pharaoh's (Horus) palace and there are drinking competitions, lots of beautiful fireworks and dancing. Everyone looks forward to the flooding of the Nile as the main attraction of the night and it is generally a very good time of year. I wonder if there would be as much chaos, but I can definitely imagine Ra making all the silly "I'll do it next year" jokes.

I really love the end of the year, I hope everyone is having a great holiday!

Khnum, the artisan god of the Nile, is one of the primordial gods who was said to have given the human race its shape. Patron of all arts, the divine potter is also the kind protector of the sacred river as it produces an abudance of clay, which he uses to craft anything his creative mind desires. He seems to be very popular in some parts of Kemet, where people prefer his art more than Ra's! Despite that, Khnum is a very humble God who likes to create for the sake of making the world a more beautiful place.

Offering to Khnum

4/25/23

Father of fathers, mother of mothers, the great who crafted the gods. Your love shines true as you create what you adore. You crafted the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the ground beneath our feet, the waters we drink. You are the perfect breeze, the sun on our skin, the food that we eat. O’ great creator, who makes millions, who loves what he does. You produce all good things.
