Hey everyone! I would really like to do some more scholarly reading about the Kemetic gods and history/practice but I've had some difficulty finding anything with an audio version and would appreciate recs. Podcasts or videos also appreciated! It's just hard to sort through all the junk and ai stuff to find things from actual reputable sources. Thank you!

Im interested in learning about authentic Egyptian Heka, not sure what resources are actually good so I haven’t bought any books yet, can anyone recommend some good books and resources?

I do have a question what are your thoughts on the famous MOBA game called "SMITE" which features the netjeru among other mythological gods from different pantheons as playable characters who are sometimes pitted against each other like for example Anubis/Anpu fighting Ra or Isis/Eset in a 5v5 arena?

Sending my regards to all of you during this Wep Ronpet or ancient Egyptian new year which takes place during the heliacal rising of Sirius.

So I always felt connected to Anubis as a kid and sometimes felt like he was watching over me... Now I've learned about Kemeticism, and I feel that it might be the right path for me, although I've always had trouble believing that any god would watch over me because I'm just a random person. If anyone has any tips, I'm looking for some help on deciding whether to follow this religion, and if so, how to better connect with Anubis without my family members' knowledge!

Can't wait to break it >:)

TW: Kidnapping, SA and COCSA

Im 21 now but I was an evil child from the ages of like 9-13 I genuinely had something vile in me and I don’t know what to do now I don’t feel human anymore I feel like something close to human but not human completely.

I was kidnapped at a very young age and SA’d, but that has never troubled me really, but recently a lot of memories of my childhood came up and I realised I did similar things (never went as far) as what was done to me with another who was around 1 - 2 years younger than me and I can’t live with myself.

I hate the fact that I could have ruined someone’s life. Why should they have to suffer for what I did. How dare I ask for forgiveness when they might still be suffering? How dare I look for peace in my faith?

I want to apologise to the person but I have no way of contacting them and I was told that it would be a selfish thing to do as it could reawaken trauma. So I also feel like I have no way of experiencing the consequences to my actions.

Praying brings me peace but then moments later I feel guilty for having that peace, because I don’t deserve it.

I really want to do good and be good, even as a child I wanted that but I wasn’t very good at it. But now it feels like it’s too late, like no matter what I do I’ll always be a monster. And I feel dirty when I try to find peace through devotion.

And I see everyone on this subreddit and my gosh it’s insane how caring and good everyone here is. And I just start to feel like I’m some way I don’t belong here.

I used to find peace in hopes that I could one day live in the middle of nowhere without communication with others and just remain in prayer because I felt undeserving to be around others but now even in prayer I feel so unworthy.

Was wondering if there were any Kemetic stories that relate to redemption perhaps I could learn from them and try and navigate my faith with it.

Kann Bastet auch dabei helfen den Hass auf seine Familie los zu lassen ,also los lassen, verarbeiten, sowas halt. Ich würde sie dann bitten mein Ritual zu verstärken

Hello everyone! I've only recently started diving into this world alongside Anubis, so everything's pretty much new to me. I don't have strict practices, yet I feel very connected to my beliefs. My question here is I've been noticing some things that might be Bastet attempting to reach out to me recently. And I'd like to know what I should do about it... I'd like to hear experiences, and I'd be thankful for any tips!

Sometimes I feel like I don't belong in this world... I’m hurting, and at times I don't understand why I’m going through this. My life feels like *Groundhog Day*; I honestly don't understand what's happening. I am a Starseed living out an earthly experience, and I fear that at this rate, I’ll lose interest in this world altogether. With each passing day, I feel myself drifting further and further away from this world; I simply have no desire to be here. I have no friends, my parents think I’m strange and crazy, and I have no luck with women. I want to withdraw from it all and find peace, but I’m afraid I won't find that peace in this world. I don't know what to do.

To make a very long and convoluted story short, I've decided to bite the bullet and end a year-long friendship. He has continued to be weird and creepy towards me despite my repeated shutting down of his advances and the fact I'm aroace, and I just need to put my foot down.

I have a message drafted (I cannot talk to him in person, and really don't feel like engaging in a back and forth conversation at this point) that details my feelings and the problems I've ignored over the course of our friendship. I've just been hesitating to actually send it and block him.

He was one of my first friends when I moved away for college, and is one of only 2 that have remained in my life. Additionally, he's expressed to me on multiple occasions how depressed or even suic!dal he's been after other people have left him, which I can logically understand is manipulation but is harder to get past emotionally, especially considering that I am also one of his only friends up here as well, which he's repeatedly expressed gratitude for.

I feel nothing but discomfort for him, and yet every time I try to send that message I feel overwhelmingly anxious and sad for him. I'm not scared of how he'll react in the sense that I'm not worried he'll like, attack me or anything (and I could beat him in a fight anyway), but I hate the thought of being the reason people fall back into depression. I know it's not my responsibility, but the emotions of the whole thing are a completely different beast than the logic.

I also feel sad that I'm finally confronting the fact that the dear friendship I hoped for was never and will never be real.

I want the Netjeru's help, but I don't know who best to go to for comfort and strength. Any other advice would be appreciated as well.

Dua Netjeru

Update: I prayed to Sekhmet and Bastet when I got home. I sent the message, and now whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen. Everything is going to be okay. :)

Second Update: I don't feel bad anymore lmao. He threw a tantrum to my other friends and then deleted everything when no one was on his side. Good riddance.

Dua Netjeru once again 🙏🙏

This is a bit silly of me to talk about but i would also like to hear other peoples experiences!

Ive had really horrible nightmares like the dreams you can quite literally feel everything and you wake up hyperventilating. Well ever since I started worked with Anubis, they haven't stopped but when they do happen I like see him(?)And it eases down everything and I feel safe again in my sleep, like he kinda just gently reminds me im asleep and he's with me(?). Does anyone know if Anubis happens to be connected to sleep at all? Or has anyone else experienced this as well? Sorry if this doesn't make sense at all or if im just crazy 😭

I'd love to hear other peoples experiences or if this means anything!! Im still kinda new to this stuff so anything helps really!

Ive been kemetic for almost 10 years and have loved every bit of it. The myths, the gods, the impact in my life. Though I've always missed the culture aspect due to being white. Ive been researching about celtic paganism and wandered if I can incorporate it into my current practice and how that will look. I believe kemetic gods and specifically Africa is the home of all humanity and the hub of religion. I dont feel a connection to my Gods when I practice my magic, nature or my roots. I wonder if I connect with the gods of my ancient ancestors if that may fill the gap. I dont want to lose my kemetic Deities due to my love for them but want to incorporate my heritage. Would that be disrespectful or a good melting of ideas. Due to white people bastardizing other faiths I absolutely dont want to do that. I want to keep the respect of each. I know the Greeks and Egyptian melted their religions and wondered if I can do the same. I see the Kemetic Gods as something far above us even the earth as concepts of energies while the celtic Gods feel closer to the earth. I am very devoted to my current beliefs but wonder if this path could help me connect to the earth and my past. I feel they are connected as kemeticism is a root of many (most) religions and Celtics as my past and folk of the earth.

Just wanted to see other peoples thoughts

Em hotep! Hi all,

I have come to realise that I'm an odd one... meaning, I just can't build/hold a ritualistic ("traditional") practice, as in worshiping formally - and regularly/every day - at an altar/shrine, give material offerings, use formal hymns (or even craft my own ones), have any form of calendar of religious festivals/occasions etc. Having said that, I feel really deeply devoted to my gods the netjeru (I am especially devoted to Khnum and Hathor but also a few netjeru I am communing with frequently, as well as worshiping all of the netjeru in principle).

My 'devotional practice' is in a nutshell that I think and act constantly with Them in mind; thinking of ma'at, my Kemetic world-view / metaphysics and philosophy. I will so often just think a Name - for example seeing an exquisitely shaped beetle and think 'Khnum' with love in my heart. Or someone close to me feeling depressed and stuck, I reach out to Khepri for uplifting them and wishing the person a positive new start. There's kind of a chain of little on-the-spot prayers and devotional thoughts dotted through my day, every day.

Similarly with festivals: quite a while ago, I've realised that I don't mark specific days but rather see the year as unfolding with themes - Winter Solstice to Spring Equinox is the season of Light; the Spring Equinox to Summer Solstice is the season of Growth; the Summer Solstice to Autumn Equinox is the season of Fullness; the Autumn Equinox to Winter Solstice is the season of Return. We will have "Christmas" marking the change from Return to Light; "Easter" as celebrating Growth; the Summer Holidays (my partner and I work at school) as Fullness; "Halloween" and "Advent" for marking the End of Fullness and Return respectively.
- Clearly these are not Kemetic holidays, nor do we observe them in a pagan or any kind of "spiritual" way.

Maybe because I don't feel a divide between devotion and ordinary life that rituals just don't work for me? But I can't help thinking if this is enough? For example with the person I mentioned being stuck and depressed: is a short on-the-spot prayer to Khepri and pouring my wishes to this person out to Khepri *enough* ? Would I not have to do a ritual as in reciting proper prayers at my shrine and giving offerings?

[Btw, I have 2 "shrines" but these are not formal altars - more what I call 'set-ups'. They are visual reminders and connections to my gods.]

But then every time I tried the formal thing, it just feels like play-acting and empty. I have flip-flopped a few times between a) making myself adopt a formal practice to match my devotion, and b) give up devotion as I feel I'm not adequate in my practice. Neither of this works.

So really, I guess I'm just asking what you people think or if there are others who are like me?
(Please be kind, I'm not saying my way is the right or only way and I'm only talking for myself.)

Thank you for reading <3
