WOW two posts in one day! GASP AND SHOCK!
But here’s why, I’ve been working on my Tabs up top, the biggest change being deleting some tabs, merging others, and creating a few new ones. Under Resources you’ll find the Blogroll Page, along with some Book Pages. It’s the books I really wanna talk about.
One of the things I learned about so many years ago, when I’d just found out ‘Oh my gods people still worship the Greeks?!’ and went hunting for Wicca stuff, was this thing called a Book of Shadows.
If your not familiar with this Term or you’re just a baby pagan/wiccan/what have you, a Book of Shadows (BoS) is basically a magical Diary of a bunch of different stuff. If you do spellwork, you might write down how you preformed a spell, what you used in it and how it worked later on. If your into Herbs you might write down what the herbs mean to you, how you use them in your chosen craft, and what their history is. if you’re into stones, well hey, List ’em and explain them in your craft!
‘Daughter of Anpu’ is the other term I mentioned in my last post that you guys might see pop up fairly frequently, seeing as ‘Jackal Child’ is rather broad. Since I know someone out there might start freaking out, let me explain this term real quick – I do NOT think I am Anpu’s Daughter by Blood or anything like that, I’m not trying to take the place of Kebauet, Kebechet,or whoever else anyone might believe is part of Anpu’s family.
Now that that’s done with, if your still reading, let me tell you why I use the term ‘Daughter of Anpu’, despite the disclaimer up there, and what the term really means to me. This is gonna be another long post I’m afraid.
So… this might be a term you end up seeing pretty often on this Blog. ‘Jackal Child‘. So what’s a Jackal Child?
A Jackal Child is a term I made up to describe who I am in this mixed-up, many-pathed thing I’m trying to figure out. New Kemetics and Elders alike might recognize the struggle of figuring out WHERE on the Kemetic Scale you stand. Kemetic Reconstrutionalist? Tamera Wiccan? Follower of Isis? Of Ra? Of Aten?
One of the Great things about beliefs in Ancient Egypt was that there were so many different ones. Ones for Each Town and city, Each Nome (I guess this is something Equivalent to a State or County?) and even peoples that the Ancient Egyptians invaded and took over, their beliefs weren’t destroyed, rather, they were incorporated or just left alone for the conquered peoples to continue practicing, least as far as the books I’ve read say (if someone has new info on this, tell me please!) so there was lots of different versions someone could choose from.
This blog’s been gathering dust for a while now, so I figured it was time for a new start a while back, and deleted most everything. There were a few entries I was hesitant to delete however, but I finally decided to go ahead and delete them, after, of course, grabbing part of one that I still feel is important.
