DISCOUNT COMMISSIONS - help me get food and pay bills!

Normally one piece is $80 but I need money to afford food. I’m out of the negatives but I only have roughly $1 in my account thanks to bills. I need money for food!

Discount price - $40 - get two for $80 (getting two for the price of one!)

Burned incense for Apollo outside (I cannot burn anything in my room due to my pets, including scentless or wax)

My updated altar for Lady Asteria!

Not the best picture and I’ll probably rearrange it a little bit, but my new statue arrived and she’s massive!

I also finally gave lady Asteria her own area, it’s right next to my bed so it’s a lot easier to pray at

Anubis presiding over the process of mummification

[worship-of-the-gods]

On Horaawesheb's coffin, between a band of hieroglyphs and a red-white-and-blue frieze, right to left: two shave-headed figures each holding two lizards, Anubis holding a snake, and a man holding two snakes. Each of these figures crouches in an odd position, as if they sat down and then someone took their chair away. The lizards and snakes represent their control over dangerous forces. Next there's an entire fish sitting on a plinth; a mummiform man from the waist up; and the Hathor cow coming out of the mountains.

Where: British Museum

When: Third Intermediate Period, 22nd Dynasty

Aphrodite’s altar and her new pink taper candles! She LOVES them 💗

[worship-of-the-gods]

''Gold is his cloak, and the clasp also; gold the Lycian lyre and bow, and the quiver; gold also the sandals. Apollo is all gold and all wealth; we see this clearly through Pythô. God always beautiful, God always young; no down ever covered her tender cheeks. Her hair spreads the perfumed oil that she distills onto the ground; but the drops are not greasy; no, it is the panacea itself; there, in the city where the dew slides to the ground, there everything is salvation.''
