Learning from the Gods: a year in review

Okay, so it’s been longer than a year.

Somewhere on the back of my blog, can’t find the post for the life of me, but I remember writing it down, I announced that my Matron had agreed to give me lessons on how to heal others. She is a Master of Healers, she is known for her wisdom and ferocity, and I was previously premed track, so I thought that this was a great way to work on something that would drive our relationship forward while giving me spiritual grounding in something I already had training in. So I started with only physical training in my track record to really make sure the only influence I had in starting this training came from Her, and not other healers and their own personal experiences. I wanted information from a purely divine source.

I wanted to catch people up on how this has gone, I guess?

On the one hand, I do now have a formal structure on the spiritual nature of the body. I have a really great track record in being able to kind of predict where someone is hurting even if they have yet to verbalize it to me. I have rituals in my back pocket for ushering someone’s spirit on when they pass away, clamping a spirit tight to its body if someone is struggling with staying inside their own form, and shuttering doors to the mind if they are having trouble with spiritual sensory issues. I have a format for healing rituals that is structured with a certain amount of regularity, with spots for one or two attendants if circle-members or friends are willing and able to assist in ritual. It has really opened my options up for healing spiritual issues in a person if they are struggling with their nature, and, for spirits, mending holes and wounds in spiritual forms so that they can continue their spiritual life/afterlife with less pain.

On the other hand, there are limitations. Of course there are. I am not a doctor; I cannot diagnose or treat anything physically wrong with someone, other than making recommendations on what specialist they might have to see when an issue arises. I can perform rituals to help assuage pain speed healing, but they work primarily on the spiritual body and the mind, and the physical body will have to catch up. I can, outside of the rituals I have been taught, perform a spell to heal, but they primarily work on creating a 8/10 chance that a problem was simply better than it was on original assessment, from what I can tell from the results I have gotten. If I want to learn how to get certain signs from people’s body, to understand what a high pulse or low pulse means, how to sweat out a fever, how to assess someone’s mouth for illness…that’s training I have to undergo on my own. And She will support me throughout the learning process and help me remember in times of duress, but she cannot Learn those things into my brain for me. It makes sense; despite her expertise, she is both ageless and frank. Modern medicine and understanding is always changing. Learning how to use the tools and training around me is a skill I have to learn how to develop on my own in order to get the most modern and accurate information.

This has taken so much longer than I expected, for so many years, and I would not trade any part of this relationship we share for anything. There are pieces of wisdom I have learnt from her. Rest and food are necessary. Water is necessary. Exercise and food and water are holy obligations to healing. But I’ll finish up with my favorite one she shared with me today:

It is not a healer’s job to cure. The body knows how to heal itself. A healer’s job is to get the obstacles out of the way to let the body fix itself.

Additional notes:

The only reason I do not name her online is for my own personal benefit. When I work with the gods, I try not to let others’ opinions of them interfere with the relationship I form with them on my own. I’ll read the research, but I don’t want any tumblr ‘canon’ UPG fights online muddying my perception of any of the gods. It just makes me have to do the research and the discernment myself. Trust me…she would rather I say her name too, but I made that boundary really clear early on.

 I still do not work with spirits. These were specifically “patients” brought to me when I was learning in a controlled setting. Choosing not to work with spirits is a personal choice I made a loooong time ago haha.

I will not be posting the format of the rituals or any materials other than the basic overview online. These lessons and this ritual format path are very private and personal to me.

Blessings! :)

adulthood gets such a bad rep and like yeah, a lot of adult things do suck (thanks, capitalism). but i do worry about what constant complaints about adulthood do to depressed kids and teens who feel trapped and sort of like adulthood is the only way out of their current situation.

so let me tell you, in case you haven't heard this ever, that in my experience, being an adult is 100x better than being a kid or teenager. being able to more or less control my living space and who i spend time with, being able to prioritize my health and wellbeing, being able to be who i truly am and pursue my interests and hobbies... all of that is worth the other dumb stuff, and none of it was possible when i was a minor. honestly, I've just gotten happier and happier the older I've gotten.

being an adult is GOOD. and it can be good for you too.

Renenutet 

the Beautiful, the Venerable, Mistress of the Offerings, Beloved, Rich of Food

Goddess of the harvest and of destiny, divine protector and wetnurse, Renenutet is depicted as a cobra, a cobra-headed woman, a cobra with a woman’s head, or as a woman with the lower body of a cobra. Renenutet’s name comes from a word meaning a nurse, one who rears a child, the verb rnn meaning also to take upon one’s lap or fondle, as well as to exult or praise - another kind of ‘nourishment’. Renenutet is often depicted nursing her son Nepry, the God of grain, or the pharaoh, who was identified with Nepry. At the temple complex at Medinet Madi, Renenutet was paired with Sobek, who seems to be her most common consort. She is often represented in agricultural scenes depicting crops or harvest.

Renenutet was not only a provider of food, however; she was also its protector. In Theban tombs of the 18th dynasty, Renenutet is depicted as the guardian of the fields and the granary, while in the homes of the workers at Deir el-Medina, stele and ostraka depicting Renenutet were placed near pantries to ward against common pests like snakes, rats, and insects -  enemies of food. Yet Renenutet’s harvest extends beyond just literal crops, extending to encompass fulfillment more generally - of all the sustenance that will be provided in the future - of one’s destiny.

Linked with her association with nourishing nursing, Renenutet could be juxtaposed with Heqet and Meskhenet as a reproductive trinity: Heqet being responsible for the initial conception, Renenutet for the growth of the fetus, and Meskhenet for its delivery. x x

imagine being kemetic and not supporting blm. imagine talking about uplifting ma'at and then turning around & ignoring the fact that 24% of u.s. police murder victims are Black despite being only 13% of the population. imagine preaching against is/fet & then still supporting the police as an institution when a Black people are 3x more likely to be murdered by police than white people. imagine being kemetic and turning a blind eye when the police kill, period. the u.s. police system is corrupt & racist & violent and you have no right to talk about balance & justice & virtue when you spit in the faces of Black americans like this with your “all lives matter” rhetoric. your gods are Black. have some basic fucking human respect.

Please help me, I’ve recently converted to Kemeticism and am a Kemetic witch. I understand Heka as both a God and magical practice but there seems to be very very VERY little information on it. I’ve seen no spells, no detailed rituals, no holidays, no information about Heka. Do you have any resources that could help?
