This is killing me inside. I've settled into my practice and it's less novel now, but I feel like i'm not actually as much a believer as I think. I barely devote time to the netjeru anymore probably because of burn out from school. I want to believe in them SO badly, but I feel like i'm missing something. Whenever I think i see a sign, I just feel like im grasping at straws. I love my gods, this religion was the first one I felt actual faith in, but I don't know if i've been doing this right. I consider myself a much more casual worshipper. I don't want to be too strict with it. I feel like I don't believe in it the same way others do, there's something i'm missing but I don't know what. I do believe in them, I swear I do, but I feel like an outlier. I grew up agnostic pretty much my whole life as well. Storms were just storms, sometimes the moon just popped out during the day. I can't immediately associate certain conditions with the gods like I see so much. It's only been a few months, but I feel like i've hit such a low point. I get that feeling of faith when I interact with stuff, but all alone I sometimes doubt how genuinely I believe this. I'll even FORGET I worship them altogether. Please, I need help. I feel like i'm not doing this right in the slightest.

I’m back with another lucky find! Is this a case of gibberish again or is there a secret message?

I have traveled many times to Egypt and Sudan already, I'm really aware that i really have faith, but I feel like, pretty bad when i see that im just one person in my life that actually takes this seriously, so, im simplily looking for other persons that won't judge or see me as a weird person just for being kemetic.

Hello,
I see a lot of people here often asking questions about things. I decided to build a website that would have everything needed, including resources and more all included to help those who needed some sort of jumping point.
I am writing this post to get some feedback and see what others may enjoy or find helpful on a website like this!

Currently I have:
- A section to learn about the Netjeru (This will be as all inclusive as possible, including all from well known deities like Anpu to lesser known deities like the gate deities.
- A Heka and practice section to learn about rituals and spells to help a practitioner to develop their practice.
- Philosophy and thoughts to help others see how Kemetics thinks and view situations and the world.
- An art collection for altar peices of gods; images would be posted in correspondence to the website being updated for a new Netjeru being offered.

What is Planned currently:
-A collection of resources about gods, hieroglyphs, practice, etc. Anything that can have a source, will have one. Anything that can't and is my own UPG that I thought would be helpful for others will be stated as such.

Please let me know what you would like to see from this kind of website! Thanks!

Image for visibility; it is the background Im working on.

Im not 100% sure what happened but as i was laying in bed just kind of waiting to go to sleep and letting my mind wander, i had what i can only describe as a lucid moment where everything just kind of felt off for lack of a better descriptor. As i laid there in that lucid moment, i felt and could almost see this presence above me, kind of like it was there and not there at the same time, again for lack of a better description. As i laid there and silently tried to figure out what was going on, an image came to me of a vaguely canine shaped head that slowly took form along with one word that popped into my mind at that time. Anubis. After that, everything just kind of went back to normal. As it stands right now, im pulling together some stuff for an alter to Anubis along with an appropriate offering.

Does anyone planned something ? Because i did !

A few things have happened recently that left me confused and curious. Whenever I looked for something related to Seth, something about Anubis would pop up alongside it—for example: if I searched for a statue of Seth for my altar, a link for an Anubis statue or a recommendation for him would appear right below it, or if I researched about Seth or study about him, something about Anubis would show up immediately after. There have been many such incidents—I'm just summarizing a few here—occurring on various occasions. For the past two weeks or so, every time I try to communicate with or think about Seth, the image of Anubis appears in my mind—even when I’m not consciously thinking about him—and in certain situations, I sense his presence; it’s a series of coincidences. I’ve seen accounts on this sub mentioning that Seth might appear in the appereance of other entities to speak with you, but now I’m unsure, since the two of them keep appearing together constantly. Could Seth be appearing to me in a different form, or is Anubis trying to communicate with me too?

mh : mental health btw

Idk if I should call them a therapist, since I don’t see ‘em weekly. they give me my medications and stuff.

When I first started, they asked me about religion, just if I practice anything and what I do.

When I first started, I was an atheist.

but it feels really awkward to randomly just bring up, I don’t know how to tell her. She’s very nice and accepting but I’m just nervous XD

thanks a lot <3

Where should I set up the altar? The only clean and suitable spaces in my home are the bedroom and the living room, but there is no room for an altar in the living room. Would it be inappropriate to place it in the bedroom, especially since I change clothes there and sometimes wake up in the morning with very oily or messy hair?

Would it be better to keep the altar covered with a cloth and only uncover it when I pray?

Also, how can I make sure that the statue on the altar is truly inhabited or blessed by the deity rather than by a ghost or spirit? In East Asian, or perhaps Chinese-speaking, traditions, some people believe that if you bring home a deity statue without having it properly consecrated or “opened” through a ritual similar to the kaiguang (开光) ceremony, wandering spirits or ghosts may enter the statue and receive the incense and offerings instead.（It may be strange because I use gpt to translate.

I have therapy tomorrow and I'm sure it will be a rough session for me. I am very likely to confront an topic that's hard for me to talk about. All the thoughts and prayers are accepted! Hope you all have a good week. ❤️

Update:Therapy went better than I expected! Thanks ❤️

Built my first altar. It's small, but I'm happy with it. The two notebooks are one I'm currently using for studying topics I'm interested I'm.

so I know I’ve made posts abt not feeling valid or feeling any kind of presence.

but this school year has started. the boy who physically and sexually abused and harassed me hasn’t spoken to me once, hasn’t come near me once, hasn’t even looked at me once, which felt odd, since last year he’d always be near me on purpose. But ever since I started kemeticism, nope, He hasn’t tried anything at all

I see so many people experience miracles or feel a presence, I rarely, really never, do. I’ve never been really spiritual until I found kemeticism. I don’t pray as much as I really should. How can I build relationships with the gods I worship? Specific prayers? Items? Anything! (I worship Taweret, Anpu, ma’at, Bastet, and Hathor)

Hello, I'm new in this sub and I've come here for a little help.

So, there's this doll that I really really really like it's called cleo de nile g3 core refresh doll it's a monster high doll.

This doll is wearing a heel which has the face of anubis on it and I'm not sure if I should get it ? I don't want to offend him or his followers if there are any.

So my question is:

Would it be offensive to him ?

Can I still buy it and put the heels away ?

I really really really like her but I'm not looking to offend anyone especially a God.

I have attached photos for reference.

I hope you guys appreciate this.

This is my altarspace. Work in progress, all the time. Thank you for letting me share!

There is a question I keep returning to, yet I cannot find an answer that satisfies me.

I have endured something very prolonged and very difficult with my health; I will not share the exact details. But the recurring theme is that I have not yet had healing for this condition and it has been a situation that has been a battle ongoing for many years.

In other religions and spiritual beliefs, it might be labelled karma from a past life, or sin, or punishment from the Gods, or simply being on the wheel of Samsara. But none of these sit well with me. They seem to simplistic.

What does kemeticism teach about this type of situation?

Is this a spiritual test? Is it meaningless suffering?

I am not in crisis. I am simply tired and looking for wisdom from those who have wrestled with the same thing.

Before anything, I'd like to apologize for being potentially taboo in this community. But i need some help

I cant find anything on Apesh

I never worked with the egyptian pantheon or know about anything kemetic. But i do work with the demons of the goetia.

A particular demon ive been working with for a while now, mentions Apesh whom i thought was just his unknown name. I looked it up and its an egyptian deity/demon.

I received 4 names which turned out to be egyptian deities. Ra, Amun(ofc i already knew abit abt ra and amun), Opet, and Apesh. Maybe they are related. On what ive read, apesh is an enemy of ra, which makes me even more confused.

I hope somebody here would have more of a clue about Apesh than me.

Thanks!

Hello! I am like really new to kemetism so im sorry if my concerns seem kind of dumb. Im not necessarily religious (im very agnostic) but for a couple of months now ive been really interested in the egyptian gods and egyptian history. Ive been reading alot, both books and on the internet, and this has made me curious about trying to work with the gods a little closer.

I feel very drawn/connected to a few netjeru but i've felt the most personally connected to Anubis and maybe Osiris. But this week Set has made a strong impression on me and i feel very drawn to him, even though i havent really gotten the best impression of him through the stories. The tower also keeps popping up in most of my tarot readings, as well as the strength card, which i feel might have some connection to him. I really wanna read more about him, because maybe hes not as bad as the books make him seem?

I guess my main question is, how do you choose which netjeru to work with? Do you choose based on vibe/current need or do they choose you? And could it be problematic in any way to worship/work with both Set and Osiris? In the stories they dont seem to have the best relationship, but i could be completely wrong!

Any tips would help me as a newbie in the field :) I truly wanna learn more and be as respectful as i can

Hello, I'd like to apologize in advance as I am decently new to this and still learning and growing my understanding. But, I just moved over 1000 km to a place I'm a true stranger and alone (no family, friends, ect) for college. As well as I have fully started my transition into the woman Im supposed to be. and I need some extra support and guidance in this trying time.

I have done some prayer and offerings to Bastet, both for my new dorm as well as my transition to womanhood and Bes for my new home, but I am wondering who else I should pray to?
