Invocation to Sekhmet, by me

Saúdo-te, Deusa potente, do alto rugido, que lidera a matança

Senhora escarlate, exaltada, emissora da luz sagrada que desperta e rejuvenesce os deuses que descansam no corpo de Nut no lado ocidental dos céus

Leoa soberana, cujo flamejantes piras queimam ardentes os corações dos inimigos da barca solar, proteja-me

Pois eu sou a morada de Rá, pacificada e protegida pela tua força, eu sou Mehen de forma serpentina, que conjura o heka contra o Incriado

Sekhmet que lancina os rebeldes com tuas flechas, mãe do terror, que afasta o Maligno como Set infligidor de dores

Torne tua fúria para longe, onde residem os inimigos que perturbam a paz e geram distúrbio contra Ma’at

E esteja somente presente com teu belo rosto ao lado de teu pai, perfumada com o lótus da criação, deusa amada

Que tua ira se satisfaça com a derrota dos inclementes e se alegre na proa da barca sagrada, inundada com as glórias do Sol!

In English:

I praise you, powerful goddess, of the loud roar, who leads the slaughter

Scarlet Lady, exalted, bearer of the sacred light that awakens and rejuvenates the gods who rest in the body of Nut on the western side of the skies

Sovereign lioness, whose flaming pyres burn fiercely the hearts of the enemies of the solar barque, protect me

Because I am the dwelling of Ra, pacified and protected by your strength, I am Mehen in serpentine form, who conjures heka against the Uncreated One

Sekhmet who strikes the rebels with your arrows, mother of terror, who drives away the Evil One like Set, the inflictor of pains

Turn your fury away, to where the enemies reside who disturb the peace and create disruption against Ma’at

And just be present with your beautiful face beside your father, scented with the lotus of creation, beloved goddess

May your wrath be satisfied with the defeat of the relentless and rejoice at the prow of the sacred barque, flooded with the glories of the Sun!

Seriously thinking of starting to publish some rambling posts on the gods, some poetry and invocations I use to write...

Just a simple ritual to the Great goddess Aphrodite

I offered some flowers and myrtle branches (in the bottles), olive oil, rice and myrrh incense. For Hestia, I poured mixed wine libations, burned some herbs and offered rice grains.

I don't have any representation of the theoi, so I used my tablet with a painting of the goddess (which I think it's acceptable, as technology is sacred too, a Hephaestus domain).

In this video I recite a hymn to Aphrodite (in Portuguese):

The amount of "this guy died and then became a bird" myths in Brazil is unreal

To inaugurate my blog - just a little Priapus ritual

This week I performed a little ritual in honor of the god Priapus, asking him to bring fertility to my plants.

First of all, I purified myself and the place with khernips that I had already prepared the day before.

I lit the flame of Hestia and recited a homeric hymn to her, poured libations of mixed wine, and offered a branch of basil. For Priapus, I prayed and poured a libation of olive oil, offered some herbs and rice grains. I offered him incense and made my requests.

I used as Priapus representation a pine cone and a beach rock that I gained from a friend (representing his aspects as a god of plants and the sea).
