Just remember to be respectful of your parents faith (I know this can be hard trust me I was secretly a polytheist for 7 years) But it goes a long way to be respectful and helps in the long run. Secondly remember all you need to practice your spirituality is faith :) You can buy books on Ancient Egypt that are simply history books and draw inspiration to them. Simple prayers not spoken out loud are a powerful sign of devotion. Any other questions feel free to message
Of course, the candle is used partly as an offering (the flame and the smoke) a pyramid would be a votive offering to the Gods, I have several on my alter actually. The only thing truly needed on a Kemetic altar I would say would be offerings and you :) Remember an offering doesn't have to be physical it can also be a prayer or song.
Hi I'mDejsha. I'm 21blind/visually impaired(I have a talking program that reads to me whats on the computer screne)Ican't light candles due to my blindness. I'm interested in becoming a Kemetic. How canIas a blind person worship the gods?
Hi nice to meet you. The most important part of worshiping the Gods is prayer. Instead of lighting a candle I would recommend buying a small night light or lamp to place on your altar. To give offerings (I am not sure what if any limitations you would have on this) I would say give everyday food to them, so some people will offer a portion of their breakfast to the Gods, it doesn't have to be an elaborate ritual, the most important thing is to be sincere in your devotion.
I've heard Anpu loves dark chocolate, lol. But I always wanted to know what people are supposed to do with libations/offerings? I can't bury them..& tossing them in the trash seems kinda disrespectufl. Great vid, hope you do one of your hellenic praxis as well <3
I will do a Hellenic one as well as a Roman one later on. Offerings are usually consumed as for libations some people who live in apartments I know keep a potted plant or just a small pot with soil in it and pour the libation into that.
Very interesting! Do you know if there is any particular reason why chocolate is an important offering? When you say it is popular do you mean that it is popular with members of the Kemetic Orthodox faith? Or that it is popular with Egyptian deities in general?
Chocolate isn't an important offering, it is just one i use often. By popular, I mean it is popular with many Kemetic practitioners including the KO. However you can give many different offerings, watermelon, grapes, apples, meat, also flowers often given as offerings. The general belief is that as long as the offering is from the heart the Gods will accept it and appreciate it.
Hai, I am a middle school Kemetic whom is secretly kemtic. Any advise?
