Anyhow, Apo/phis isn't worth worship.

He is not necessary destruction, for he is the opposition of all existence, and not so much in a way that can be contorted into anything psuedo-metaphorical.

Make no mistake, absolute void is a necessity of existence; at least in my perspective. But chaos, to open room for new creation is not the goal ot Apo/phis.

He stands as the embodiment of isfet, to embrace him is to endure all wrongdoing.

If you are absolutely hell-bent on being edgy, Suetekh is right there.

He Who Orders the Riot. — Another devotional picture for my Father. I’ve been thinking about Him a lot recently  (thank you to my boyfriend for the help on this piece)

A short one off comic starring everyone’s favorite agent of chaos. I may have been inspired slightly by recent drama (I have it on good authority that Set enjoys a good drama)

“How did you say the slash mark with your mouth like that”- A/pep probably.

After all this time I finally finished this picture of Hethert. The original one had her arms down but I had a request from @thewitchingcow to have her redrawn a bit differently for a commission. I think I like their idea better lol. But yeah this is for thewitchingcow. It took me a long while to finish this b/c of life bullshit so I feel terrible about that. I CAN create art faster than what I did. v.v

Excerpt From the Kemetic Prayer Book

From A Prayer To Set for Protection in a Foreign Land

“If ever I did please you,

With a laugh or a hug

Or my mere presence,

Small though it is

In light of your brilliant glory,

I pray to you,

Protect me from injury and assault.”

I forgot to post this! Hathor requested I make a quick 3D sculpt over the summer (because it’s what I love to do), and so I decided to sculpt her! Eventually I’ll upload it somewhere will people will be able to get the file for free (you still have to pay to have it printed, though).

Dua Hetheru!

The Skull Head God.

Another Seth drawing but this time with 64% more skull. The skull has elements of wild pig, hippopotamus and dog, which are three animals associated with the deity.

This is one of the larger deity drawings I’ve done at 11x17 inches. It is for sale for 110$ plus shipping (discounts available for patreon patrons) I can do payment plans with 20$ down.

I can ship in time for gifty holidays

Thanks Australia

[thewitchingcow]

I’d like to talk to you for a minute about the plebiscite that is going to happen in Australia.

First of all, I want to acknowledge that the LGBT community is often a defensive one. And you know what, its fair enough. Every time you meet a LGBT person you are meeting someone who has had to actively practice self defense in order to survive. This is because if we have not been bashed, we know someone in our community personally who has. If we have not been kicked out of our homes or disowned by our families, we know someone in our community personally who has. It is because the buildings we congregate in, and the places we live are vandalised on the daily. It is because while we have existed as long as history has been recorded we are still having to fight to be treated like human beings. As a community we have become strong, and self sufficient, and dare I say it; proud. But now we are at a crossroads.

For so long we have been defensive. And now, we are being forced into a state of vulnerability. Because of this plebiscite, as a gay woman, I now not only have to endure the rising level of hatred, and violence, and condemnation that comes when change is proposed, I have to do it gracefully. Because I now have to ask the Australian people, who I do not know personally, and even worse, I have to ask my friends, family and colleagues…do you think I matter?

“Hey citizens of Australia. Hey mum, dad. Hey, friend I went to high school with and haven’t talked to in years. Hey co worker. Do you think I matter enough? Do you think the way I love matters? Do you think I matter enough to deserve the legal protection marriage provides? Do you think I should have the same civil rights as you? The government elected doesn’t want to choose, so you get to decide! What do you think, do I matter enough?”

I personally have worked really hard on not caring what other people think of my sexuality. I have always told myself that it doesn’t matter. But my friends, right now, it matters. Suddenly my defenses are gone, and I am having to be okay anyway. My heart hurts, for myself and for everyone in my community right now who is also feeling my level of vulnerable. My identity is under attack and my rights are up for debate. What I’m trying to say is this: if you can vote, vote yes. Don’t get mad at my community for being defensive more now than ever, understand how vulnerable we feel at this moment. If you are a friend to someone LGBT, love them extra hard right now. We have always fought hard and valiantly, but man, this shit can still hit us hard. And if you are LGBT… my friend; we matter. Repeat those words over and over until you believe them, and eventually things are going to be okay.

Anubis shook his head, and Suzy could swear his ears were drooping ever so slightly.

THERE ARE NOT MANY WHO WOULD PUT THEIR FAITH IN A GOD OF DEATH. FEWER STILL ARE THOSE WHO ASK ONE FOR GIFTS.
