A prayer to Aset in the Unyear 2020

A prayer to Aset in the Unyear 2020

In my locality, the Unyear started on Saturday, but I have been singularly unmotivated this year to do anything for it. I did rite on Wesir’s Day (Saturday) and that’s about it. But I did find the energy to write this prayer to my patron, on Her birthday.

Reflections on the Unyear and Wep Ronpet 2022

Reflections on the Unyear and Wep Ronpet 2022

It’s definitely been an Unyear. An image of clay pots. Source: unknown. This Unyear has been a little weird, but I guess a lot of them have for me. On July 20, I found out that I had been exposed to COVID so I got tested. Well, the COVID part of the test wasn’t actually run so I had to get retested, and eventually the results came back negative. I was also negative for RSV and both flu A and B,…

"A problem for the theist"

I’m going to go somewhere a little risky in this one. This is just stuff to think about. Screenshot of episode 28.12 of The Atheist Experience, which aired on YouTube March 24, 2024. I was watching The Atheist Experience with my husband a few weeks ago. (Okay, I was tuning in and out because my interest waxed and waned.) And my brain caught on a phrase that, when I went back and watched that…

Doing the Akhu Rite for my mother

Doing the Akhu Rite for my mother

My mother, Eileen Pare. May 29-1943-May 11, 2020

I’ve continued doing Devo’s Making Ma’at rites into this year (and really have no intention of stopping, unless the world becomes miraculously better). Two days ago, I did the Akhu Rite for my mother for the first time.

Now, technically, I suppose I cheated. I think this rite is supposed to be used for those bas who have become akhu – in…

The importance of being seen

The importance of being seen

Or, what I learned at church today. I wasn’t sure what to pick today, so I went with this. LOL. I went to UU services today. The service touched on a sampling of the variety of holidays we all celebrate this month: Solstice, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa. We had a Solstice story and hymn, a Hanukkah meditation and hymn, an Advent homily, and a Kwanzaa video. It was very nice to get this sampling…

Year of Rites: So far (now that the year's almost over)

Year of Rites: So far (now that the year’s almost over)

So I have wanted to post for a long time now, but my efforts in March required some extra thought. Anyway, here I am, finally.

Setup directly after the Full Moon/Propitiation Rite in January.

I posted way back in January that I was going to start doing Devo’s Making Ma’at 2k19 rites this year, in addition to the regular, so-called “Daily Rite” that I had been doing. I got a late start, missing the…

My two worlds collide :)

I’m leading a UU service on Kemeticism. Image via Pixabay. Hi, guys. Sorry I’ve been away – been doing things like having surgery on my driving foot, getting dumped off one of my meds, finding out we have a diabetic cat…It’s been a bit crazy. And because I thought I needed more crazy, I volunteered to lead a UU service on August 6th. Why did I do this? Well, our interim minister is leaving…
