“There is no need to justify god in the face of the injustice and evil in the world. Evil is inherent in the nonexistent and hence is older than the gods and present in the world from the beginning. The gods cannot be made responsible for it, but are the very powers that combat evil and continually drive it out from the existent world.”
(Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt: The One and the Many, Erik Hornung)

Epag Day 4: Happy birthday Aset!
-----------
Beautiful Aset, Lady of Joy, Rejoicing in Ma'at.
She Who births the year ahead, rise up as Sopdet in the sky
and shine on the horizon.
We stand upon the outcrop; vast the waters flow,
She comes to shore and brings the Nile, creates the wind,
the wind cries back: "This grief that's down within the earth,
this mourning deep in You, and you,
it is released, and cooled, and swept away."
Wash away my fear, Protectress of all
Who lights the sky and splits the way for the Barque.
Make magic here, ebullience abound,
bring forth delight we meet with song and praise;
You who feeds the child and brings the Breath of Life,
yet many knives lay wait for those who harm.
Hear our sistra, know our hearts,
We speak our words to You that they are whole and true.
You the Power that makes Kings,
Who sets the sun disk at the sullen sky,
Your focus tasks us Zep Tepi ahead
we kneel before You now and request Your favor.(c) Nesiwepwawet | Graylynn

Epag Day 3: Happy birthday Set!
-----------
O Set, Rebel coming in the night.
Bones of iron before Whom the sky does shake,
Who sends the storm above.
They say “He Who doesn’t care about the law”,
yet righteous swords do glint and arrows fly.
He Who fells isfet, poised atop the Barque of Ra,
outstretched hands fend off A/p/e/p upon the hour.
Heru takes the Shield and You the Sword, ensure our victory!
That which torn apart can fight as One against a common goal.
Abhorrent or Beloved, each in its stride,
a time for all, a place to rest, a day to be.
And be this day indeed, take up the mantle,
You of Thunderous Sky and Shifting Sand.
Be sharp as flint and swift as bird,
stealth of fish yet strong as raging bull.
He Who loves the fight, Who holds his head on high,
Who welcomes dissonance abroad yet beats the drum
compelling, every sound yields on His might.
I stand with You, Lord of Blades and Power,
my bonds undone, I will not bow to evil.(c) Nesiwepwawet | Graylynn

Epag Day 2: Happy Birthday to Heru-wer (Horus the elder)!
-----------
He Who comes to those who call, I call to You now.
O Strong One, Lord of Force and Strength,
Who makes the enemies destroyed, lead us forth.
Stand with us against the coming storm, that we are not defeated.
Rise up! You Whose arrows cannot fail,
with Ma'at's shield and just of voice, Your power is foretold.
As I sink down, down below the Nile
I ask of You Whose eyes are sun and moon
to lift me up, dusk to dawn, that I may know Your enemies and not my own.
You Whose spear is straight, Whose sight is clear and true,
I follow You with courage running deep.
Bring me to divides I dared not cross,
and at the bridge, the path Wepwawet rends,
we meet uniting both the East and West horizons here.
"Fight side-by-side," together we are more than sums apart,
we triumph in Your shadow and Your light,
we seize this day, we claim it as our own.
We will not falter, nor will we fear,
we call to You, O Heru-wer, Great of Gods
Protect us where Your feet have trod,
and where we're yet to know.(c) Nesiwepwawet | Graylynn

I've been debating writing this post for awhile, and I strongly believe many people relevant to it are not going to like it.
But here it is. I have my own emotions, my own perspective. No one has to agree with me, and I am not seeking approval
I simply agreed at one point that I would talk about my shift in and/or away-from #kemeticOrthodoxy (temporarily, permanent, who knows), and after a few weeks of thinking about this post, well here we are.
Sincerely,
Your friendly neighborhood Kemetic Polytheist#Website: https://wepwawet.ca/2023/06/30/it-comes-from-the-top/

Edit: Someone on Facebook decided to state that I believe Hemet is a "dirty capitalist" -- I want to be clear that if this is what you've gotten from this post, you are wildly mistaken.

New statues for #Hethert, #Nut, and #Amun
In 22 years I have never had my entire lineup have proper statues (only Wepwawet did) -- Hethert, Amun, and Nut have always had non-#Kemetic iconography on my shrine, just kind of worked out like that, and They were certainly OK with it.
But now Everyone has something, and I just feel really good about that.

#Wepwawet is not a #wolf. Holy heck in a handbag am I tired of hearing it. Not a wolf, never has been a wolf, never will be a wolf.
It's true, the greeks called it Lycopolis... because they were Greek and not Egyptian, go figure. The city was actually called Zauty (early Egyptian) | Saiut (late Egyptian through Coptic with some adjustments) and finally Asyut.
The original name of the city alludes to the idea of Guardianship of the Northern ways, and it is heavily unlikely the Gods Anubis and Wepwawet were represented by different animals (aka they are both the jackals or jackal-adjacent species).
It continues, based on my 20+ years of research and knowledge, that the sAb animal (jackal animal) which represents both Anubis and Wepwawet most likely ties in to that of C.mesomelas (Silverback / Black-backed Jackal) more than any other species, with a hybrid species potentially making even more sense.
It is a mystery we may never 100% solve aside from theory, however there is one thing we can say for certain: Wepwawet. is. not. a. wolf. in terms of what you are picturing the modern-day "wolf" to be.
For #Kemetic #Pagans and #Paganism what does that mean... does it mean you can no longer use wolf imagery in relation to Wepwawet?
That is not what it means. In fact I myself have a modern-day wolf imagery (one, total, among all my dozens of jackals) for Wepwawet on my #Altar, though He vastly prefers 1) Jackal imagery, 2) standing jackal NOT sitting or lying down, 3) imagery that does NOT have any identification marks pertaining to Anubis.
That all being said, you may use any imagery that is pleasing between you and Wepwawet Himself. That's the loveliness of #Paganism, afterall. It's all about you, and your #gods.
However, to espouse the idea of the 'historical wolf' in terms of Wepwawet continues to be gravely flawed.

Finally upgraded my big shrine to the modern look I was craving. No more hand-me-down wood/glass table falling apart at the seams, no more $10 shitty walmart table. (my little daily shrine is still off to the right)
I feel good about this. May add LED lights!
Dua #Wepwawet <3
I also have new statues on order for the rest of my lineup (#Hethert, #Amun, and #Nut) as the current ones are due for an upgrade, though I do really love Amun's ram that I found at a thrift store.
