Anyone Heard A Scream? That Was Me In Sheer Awe!

Anyone heard a scream? That was me in sheer awe! 🤩

Thank you so much @ava-does-dumbassery ! 💜

Hi Ava, first of all lemme tell you, I love your posts 💜

I'm curious about a hieratic version of Set's glyph you posted some time ago, probably last year, dating from the 19th dynasty... I was wondering if you happen to know where exactly it comes from.

I'm asking because I find it utterly beautiful, and I'd love to learn more about it.

Thank you in advance, hope you have a good day! 💜

It's from part of the Poem of the Battle of Kadesh, which is just absolutely gorgeous in general. If you look at these pictures on the British Museum's website (it's currently in their basement somewhere) you can see him on the eighth line, over to the left.

Also this other part of the poem has little horses drawn on the top of the page.

Thanks for the ask!

Music was so much better in the when it was just two guys makin music (they were probably making out after every recording session)

"Nurture yourself, Little One. Do not stifle your growth for the sake of conforming to others thoughts and opinions. Do not hold onto others for strength and security. You are not meant to be alone, that is true. However, you are also not meant to be consumable, torn apart for the ease of other's sensitivities or feelings. You are whole. You are your own."

This is beyond powerful, and so so needed. Thank you so much @divinecoyote for sharing! 🌩️

My Father is immense, inconceivable to the human mind. He stands over everything: life and death, calm and chaos, creation and destruction, the beginning and the end.

He is not just a storm or chaos, not just rage and anger and pain. He is the warmth received from others, the slow lapping of water within an oasis, the brief kiss on your cheek from the wind.

I asked for His help last night, and found myself floating in the middle of a small lake. Above me stretched Nut, stars twinkling in Her eyes. Surrounding me was a dense outpouring of foliage, swaying in a gentle breeze.

He came to me then, laying a hand above my heart. I could physically feel the warmth radiating from His hand and slowly encasing me. In my mind I could see my heart surrounded by soft and moist soil. It sank and from the remains sprouts began to form.

"Nurture yourself, Little One. Do not stifle your growth for the sake of conforming to others thoughts and opinions. Do not hold onto others for strength and security. You are not meant to be alone, that is true. However, you are also not meant to be consumable, torn apart for the ease of other's sensitivities or feelings. You are whole. You are your own."

When I first read about this, I immediately thought about how much sense it makes. And how beautiful it is, when you think about it.

Thinking about the theory that Horus and Set were two of the first gods in the Egyptian pantheon and other gods were added around them later… and how them reconciling was always a consistent element even as the story changed from two brothers fighting for the throne to Horus avenging the death of his father… right up until the late period when people got uncomfortable with a foreigner god being so important in their pantheon and it changed to end with Set being cast out and kept weakened so he could never come back… a cycle of forgiveness eventually cut off by bigotry and hate…

Me (having another religious crisis): “Hm yeah Idk, what if I’m being weird abt Kemetic Polytheism? What if I can’t do this?”
