after a long time, i finally got a connection with a deity, the incredible lady athena, we started working together a little while ago, and i'm very happy with everything that's been happening, but i have some doubts and a little fear of spoiling all.

for example, if at some point in the future, I wish to connect with another deity, are there any limits or barriers that athena follows? I already know, for example, from her and lady aphrodite's dynamics, that it wouldn't be very nice to worship both (correct me if I'm wrong, please) so are there more of those dynamics I should know about?

sorry for any grammatical errors!

For me, the harp is not just a musical instrument. It’s a way for me to give offerings to the gods and how I can get in a meditative state
Also, it might sound cliché, but the harp connects me to the spirits of the land/of nature although I don’t consider fairies to be small, sweet creatures with wings and think of the depiction of them with harps is a modern legend/misconception
Do other people on here also use their instruments for spiritual purposes? #pagan #deitywork #witch

Em hotep~! Let's talk a little about #Nebthet.

Nebthet (Nebet-Hwt) is a Predynastic (6,000 BCE - 3200 BCE) Deity. She is the goddess of death and mourning, sometimes listed as a river goddess.

One of my favourite aspects of her was a beer goddess the Ancients would pray to for no hangovers the next day. 🤣

She eventually became part of the Iunu (Heliopolis) group, The Ennead, making her the last born and sister to Usir, Heru-Wer, Set, and Iset. Nebthet is famously known for helping Iset in the Usir Myths.

Contrary to some beliefs, Nebthet was a rather popular goddess on her own. She was actually the first deity alongside Set to help fight against The Nope Rope each night. And had her own temples, especially during the New Kingdom.

As a Chief Mortuary deity, Nebthet was one of the protectors of a canopic jar. Specifically of Hapi, who guarded the lungs.

She has many associations from the Bennu, or pheonix, to panthers, leopards, and kites (a type of falcon,) even dolphins!

Nebthet, aside from being an important mortuary goddess, was a fierce protection deity who carried epithets like Eye of Ra and Whose Flame is Painful.

Dua Nebthet. :blobCatHeart:

Em hotep~! Let's talk about #Set :blobcatlove:

Set (Setesh, Sutekh) is a Predynastic (6,000 BCE - 3200 BCE) Deity, thought to be the original ruler and king of Upper (Southern) Egypt. He is known to be the god of storms, the desert, chaos, and war.

This is where Set finds his beginnings as possibly an oasis and desert god where those crossing the desert lands would pray to him for safe passage.

He was even depicted on the Scorpion Mace head and a few hair combs from the Predynastic Period. Some scholars believe the hippos on pieces were also attributed to him.

Later on, he became part of the Heliopolis group of deities, The Ennead, making him the third born and brother of Usir, Heru-Wer, Iset, and Nebthet. He is known as the jealous brother of Usir in the Usir Myths.

Scholars and Egyptologists are unsure what his sacred animal is and it's been up to speculation. It ranged from donkey to aardvark to even a Saluki. Some even think he is a mythological creature much like the griffons he is associated with. For now, though, they have dubbed his animal simply "set-animal" or sometimes a "sha."

Set is described as having red hair and light toned skin. Those with red hair were associated with him--like the Ramesside Pharaohs.

His history spanned thousands upon thousands of years that this small little post can barely scratch the surface of. He's quite enigmatic in a way, and heavily misunderstood, even today.

Dua Set. :blobcatlove: #Kemetic #deity #deityworship #deitywork #kemeticism #egypt #egyptianmythology

I’m learning to take the next steps on my #priestess path, but it’s going to be difficult.

With so many readings, I’ve been getting the message of disconnecting from my old self, perhaps even my self as is, and to move onto higher places.

I feel this is more than just social media, more than just defeating Miranda (my self doubt). What it is, I don’t know. I guess I’ll see where Set takes me.

Letting go of the notion of me, Amber seeking this path VS The Priestess self walking this path. It’s been difficult to wrap my head around right now. I feel I also have to look outside the Priesthood in antiquity.

While yes, it’s important to bring that into my practice, (and I’ve been studying it) I’m wondering if this lesson is elsewhere. 🫣🤔

If anyone has any tips, even resources that could teach me more, I’d be happy to hear if you feel called to. :blobcatmmm:
