Nehebkau Heka

Within the LAGG is a reference to a heka for Nehebkau, in which a spell is spoken over His figure against the plague of the year. I decided to make my own spell in order to fight against any illness and plague. Simply draw a snake to use a representation of Him, and repeat the following prayer:

He is brought forth, in His name of Nehebkau, He is called, the one within the great house.  O Great Nehebkau, I beseech you!

Free me from this illness, free me from all bad winds.  Take the poison from my heart and viens, Clear me of all disease.

Learning that Buddhism can cohabitate with your existing religious practices (and often does outside of Western tradition!) has inspired me to consider learning about dharma again. I fell out of the practice years ago and felt that my current beliefs and study was enough but I do really enjoy the wisdom of the many Buddhas who have come and gone.

There are many who seek to profit from *isfet* we must strive to uphold *ma'at* and seek to undo the *isfet* they are creating in the world.

Keep resisting!

Greetings! Welcome to my digital temple. I am an ordained minister (Ordained in 2014 within the multi-faith organization known as the Universal Life Church) and have over the last few years slowly but steadily converted to kemeticism. I am considering myself on a personal pathway towards a priesthood but do *not* consider myself a priest, yet.

I will only be offering digital religious services when my inbox is open. It is at the time of this writing, **closed**.

I look forward to sharing the light and joy that the netjer have brought into my life with the rest of the world and by association all who visit this tiny temple.

Go in peace, and may the netjer guide you to your oasis.
