Got a probably dumb question

5 Upvotes

When you leave prepackaged food as offerings, like say pastries or other snacks, do you open the container and/or remove the food from the wrapper and then offer it? Or leave it closed in its packaging? If you offer beer, do you open the bottle or the can first?

Trying to figure out if I've been doing this wrong lol

Advice & Support What god/goddess can help with mental health issues?

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m relatively still new to Kemeticism, and I wanted to ask about which god or goddess I could reach out to for help with my mental health? I’ve been extremely anxious and depressed lately, and don’t know what to do anymore.

Advice & Support Please help

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone. This is one of the most difficult times in my entire life… it feels like a never ending nightmare and I really just need support, advice, and the perspectives of other Kemetics.

There is a group of really nasty people who have just been after me and my fiancé… solely because they dislike us due to our association with the mayor that they hate (it is a small town municipal government… due to ongoing legal problems I will refrain from providing too much detail) The mayor has done nothing wrong… we think they dislike him because they are racists (the mayor is from Egypt who moved here and gained his citizenship)

Finances are absolute hell… we can’t find work anywhere and we are just scraping by… getting what food and necessities that we are able to come across.

I have prayed, and prayed, and prayed, and prayed. I have done spell work. I have done everything that you can imagine. And still… I feel as though my prayers are falling upon deaf ears. We’re struggling with bullying/harassment/financial issues/health issues. I don’t want to go into too much detail on the health issues, so I’ll just say that we both need medical care that we are unable to afford.

Like… there is literally not a single aspect of my life that I am not stressing out about right now. I’m in a living Hell. Anubis is my patron… has been for the past 6 years. And now this time… I truly feel like he isn’t listening. Or worse… he is and just doesn’t want to see us succeed in life.

I’ve been excommunicated by my family since I’m not a Christian, so the option for them to help is out. My fiancé’s family helps us where they can, but it isn’t much.

I just don’t know what to do any more. I know I haven’t provided a ton of info, but if I were to tell more… this post would be a novel. I have been dealing with shitty person after shitty person after shitty situation after shitty situation… it never stops.

I just want to enjoy life again.

How did the Ancient Egyptians view trials and hardships? I know this feeling is nothing new… how did they navigate through when the troubles stack like mountains?

Hello im texting the Same as before But in English bcc maybe there Are Not so much germans in this Community
I've been deeply connected to ancient Egypt since I was little; it's always been in my heart. Back then, at a party where we were giving each other temporary tattoos, I only ever thought of one thing: I'd get an ankh tattooed on my finger. That's all I wanted. Now I'm even decorating my living room in an Egyptian style.

I watch Egyptian documentaries every evening, and my biggest dream is to stand in a temple and in front of the pyramids. Then I start to cry.

Anyway, my life has been completely turned upside down for the past year, and I'm looking for help or something new. Then it occurred to me: why shouldn't I continue to live my love life? And that's how I discovered that the religion is still practiced, which I'm very proud of.

Well, anyway, my life has been completely turned upside down for the past year, and I'm looking for help or something new. I'm not an expert due to my past experiences, but I do know a little about ancient Egypt, just not about the religious practices. So I'm currently trying to learn about things like household altars, etc. I already know who it should be: Anubis, my beloved, whom I've encountered in dreams or something similar, and Ra, to whom I also have a strong connection. They also happen to be a perfect match.

Now I'm looking for guidance and wondering which books I can read so that I can do justice to the religion and not do it wrong.

I'm grateful for any information and happy to have found this; it feels right.

Advice & Support Executive disfunction

22 Upvotes

So I am autistic and I have ADHD. And like many people with AuDHD I suffer from executive disfunction. It destroys my life. Some days are really bad, others I don't have executive disfunction. And a lot in between.

Today I wanted to celebrate a feast for Anubis. I got some special things yesterday (chocolate, beer, fruits) to go with the usual offerings (bread mostly)

But I just couldn't do it.

Today I woke up way too early (03.00 AM), (no reason, i just woke up and i was awake then) I drank my coffee, and then I went to brush my teeth. Next I wanted to take a shower at around 06.00 AM, but I just... didn't. Couldn't. At 10.00 I had Breakfest. Then, finally around 12.00 I finally got in the shower.

Than it took me a long time to get dressed.

When I wanted to start my ritual, it felt wrong. I had a knot in my stomach.

I don't think Anubis is angry with me. But everything feels wrong now. I feel sick. I don't want to eat, I don't want to skip the ritual, but I don't want to do it either. It just feels wrong. Both options feel wrong. I could do it tomorrow, but maybe I heave the same problem tomorrow?

What should I do? It's 14.23 (02.23 PM) now.

Devotional Work (Art, Actions, Prayers, Hymns, Praise) Give me some ideas of what to embroider

7 Upvotes

I’ve been doing a lot of sewing and stuff lately and anyways I’ve been thinking of something to add to an old jacket of mine. I decided I wanted a bug design that wrap around to the back somehow then thought it would be cool to do something related to a scarab rolling the ball whatever anyways

I was thinking about discretely embroidering something inside somewhere that could be semi devotional cause I’m in a strict house and can’t actually have anything out related to kemetism aside from my thousands of books that make me look like an egyptology nerd lol. I mostly worship Lady Aset and Lord Djeheuty. Any ideas? I was thinking maybe an ankh or something maybe on the inside of the sleeve or something any ideas appreciated!
