I've been debating writing this post for awhile, and I strongly believe many people relevant to it are not going to like it.

But here it is. I have my own emotions, my own perspective. No one has to agree with me, and I am not seeking approval

I simply agreed at one point that I would talk about my shift in and/or away-from #kemeticOrthodoxy (temporarily, permanent, who knows), and after a few weeks of thinking about this post, well here we are.

Sincerely,
Your friendly neighborhood Kemetic Polytheist

I'm not big on #dreamInterpretation, never have been, in fact I've been a staunch critic of it. But here we are. It's rare I have a #dream I'm willing to talk about.

I had quite the bizarre dream last night. I'm positive my #grandmother visited me. I've never experienced something like that before... not ever. She's literally my one and only #Akhu (#Kemetic for #ancestor) I trust enough to #venerate. I know that's probably horrible and I should broaden my horizons... but it just is what it is. I have #trustissues.

Anyway, she seemed to be specifically asking me to work on #Tarot, and I haven't figured that out yet, but the dream at the time was really clear even if right now 12 hours later it makes absolutely no bloody sense. I wrote everything down in my journal after waking up, I'm reading it back thinking "Was I high?" but no, I was just dreaming, and sleepy.

In my dream it was very interesting, I was delving through old family history, photos, jewelry boxes, grimoire-style books, and boxes containing both Tarot cards (extremely old ones) and Fedw-style sticks (I'm trained in #divination within my religion of #KemeticOrthodoxy) but in my dream the system had an extra elements and there were additional numbers involved; I'm still trying to process that)... none of this exists in real life but I got an incredibly sharp sensation that there was history here I was unaware of.

My grandmother died when I was 11 but she was my champion in all things, my protector from my abusive mother, my best friend.

At any rate, I'm not going to ignore something like this, so today I purchased a deck of Tarot cards I've had my eye on (Kemetic, obviously!), something other than the Oracle cards I usually heavily rely on.

Been a long long time since I did Tarot, but clearly there are reasons for me to get back into it.
