All hail to thee, Sutekh of Kemet
Your storms dance across the globe
You smite Isfet with your iron
Teeth and claws bared against the neck of the snake
All hail to thee, Sutekh of the storms
Let your thunder bring down justice

A Hymn to Re to the Maintenance of Ma’at
by @someonewhoseeksknowledge
“From the Eastern Horizon,
The Lord of the East rises in the morning as Kheper
Putting forth His Majesty’s rays for everyone to see.
As Re-Heruakhety His Majesty maintains peace
and reminds everyone of their duty of Ma’at.
His Great Eye sees through every land
just like in the Beginning.
The Lord of Fear in the Western Sky slays Apep as the Desert Cat,
when His boat descends in the west.
He who sets as Atum command the dark hours of night
and Illuminates the Land with His Night Disk.
And again in the dawn His Majesty rises with Ma’at
opening everyone’s eye for another day on the land.”
I prayed last night. I bargained and begged on my knees, head to the ground that this would not happen. I feel tired beyond words. I cried to my fathers, why.
Sometimes a/pep wins. Sometimes the two lands are invaded and torn. The barque is destroyed. I don’t want to go to shrine. I don’t want to give offerings. But now, I have to more than ever. I have to get back up and ask Ptah “where is a hammer?” Ask Re “how long do I cut this wood?”, bring the whet stone to sharpen Sets spear.
Because the netjer need us and we need them.
We need to look at each other and ask “do you feel safe?” Ask our neighbors what they need. We help rebuild ma'at as we rebuild the divine barque, and we rebuild it here by holding onto and helping each other.
Sometimes isfet wins. But let us grab our hammers and hands and rebuild a bigger, stronger better barque and society.
So in a bit I will put on my whites, purify and pray/senut.
Because building a boat has to start somewhere.
I just had an ask but I thought of somthing, ever hear of the Buddha Board? I use spring water for sigils and it is AMAZING
Oh yes! I want one just for funsies, but your idea here has inspired me! For those that don’t know, a Buddha Board is a board that you paint on with water, and then the water evaporates/dries/generally disappears after a couple o’ few minutes and you can paint again! It would be excellent for sigils, you’re right!!!
(please let us know if you want this deleted. i figured it would be useful for others so I posted it even though it’s not on anon!!!)

A new short-form TV anime comedy that re-envisions the gods of ancient Egyptian as adorable mascot characters is coming to Fuji TV’s #Hi_Poul variety show on November 24, 2016.
I’m not saying that my gods are gayer than your gods, I’m just saying that one time Loki called Odin a submissive gay prostitute and Odin didn’t deny it.
