Apparently a genAI image of Anubis and Wepwawet.
If true, I do like that it seems Wepwawet appears like a wolf and less jackal, which has some historical accuracy.
The gray color remains questionable in the historical evidence.

Werewolves & Werehyenas (Part 2 of 2)
The second album, "The Ghoul," begins after Grace has given birth to a fresh litter of wolf pups, some of whom have inherited Hal's werewolf gene. The Ghoul lives with them and helps to raise the pups. He forms an especially strong connection with Molly, the smallest and youngest of the little werewolves.
One day, while the Ghoul is helping Molly with one of her reading lessons, he sees an article in the newspaper about a new crime boss who is terrorizing the city in which he used to live. This person, known only as "the Wraith," has been killing other crimelords and recruiting their men for her own gang. The Wraith also seems to have a personal vendetta against the Ghoul, challenging him to come and stop her if he thinks he can.
The Ghoul is overwhelmed with guilt by this; he believes that Anubis and Wepwawet demand he should go and set things right. Hal offers to go with him, but the Ghoul insists he must do this alone, as he does not want anyone in his new wolf family to be harmed. So the Ghoul leaves to clean up this mess, and when Molly finds out he has gone, she sneaks away and follows him, knowing he will need some help from his favorite niece.
Back in the city, the Ghoul learns that the Wraith's true name is Claudia Raines. She was a chemist who was working in her lab one day when the Ghoul blew it up, back when he was still a villain. Raines survived the explosion, but her body was doused in various chemicals that have turned her permanently invisible. Not being able to see her own face or receive adequate medical care due to her condition has driven Raines completely insane. As the Wraith, she makes all of her gang members wear the exact same costume she does, so that everyone in the gang is "invisible" too, and everyone is a decoy. She is obsessed with BEING SEEN, and she believes that teaching people to FEAR her is the closest thing she can ever achieve to becoming "visible" again. She also blames the Ghoul for everything that has happened to her, as well as for everything she is now doing.
Before the Wraith can kill the Ghoul, he is rescued by his niece Molly, who manages to catch up with him just in time. The Wraith witnesses Molly and the Ghoul both transform in the process. Molly takes the Ghoul some place where they can hide, and the Ghoul has an emotional breakdown, worrying that the Wraith will try to hunt down and kill the rest of their family. Molly comforts him by getting him to help her with another reading lesson.
Meanwhile, the Wraith sends her goons to kidnap Dr. Betsy Phibes and interrogate her for the location of Hal and Grace's Den. Dr. Phibes eventually caves; then the Wraith sends half of her gang out to the woods, with orders to track down the werewolves and wipe them all out. In the meantime, she and the other half of her gang will begin their next criminal operation back in the city.
The Wraith's goons learn the hard way that the entire forest is booby-trapped, and that each of Hal's kids is a formidable hunter. It doesn't take long for the werewolves to completely incapacitate the strike force and interrogate them. Hal then leads his werewolf kids as an army to go find Molly and the Ghoul. When they are reunited with the werehyena and his favorite niece, they all go back to the city to stop the Wraith.
While this has been happening, the Wraith and the rest of her goons have launched an attack upon the city. They loot and rob and stir up all kinds of chaos across the area, in different neighborhoods, and at synchronized times. With everyone in costume, the intent is to make the citizenry feel as if the Wraith herself is actually "omnipresent." But then the Ghoul and his werewolf family descend upon the gang, at each location all at once, and the Wraith's plot is foiled.
After capturing the Wraith, the Ghoul acknowledges that he is indeed responsible for ruining her life; but he is *not* responsible for turning her into the Wraith. He offers to help her own what she has done and become a better person, if she will let him. The Wraith just spits at him and promises to kill his entire family if she should ever break free. She is then incarcerated at a maximum security prison for the dangerously insane, where she is kept under constant surveillance with thermal imaging cameras.
And then the story ends just as it begins, back in the woods, with the Ghoul helping Molly with another reading lesson.

Werewolves & Werehyenas (Part 1 of 2)
"The Mauling Man" (2022) and "The Ghoul" (2023) are werewolf stories - or to be more precise, "The Mauling Man" is a werewolf story, while "The Ghoul" is about a werehyena.
In my fiction, werewolves and werehyenas are not people who become animals, but animals who transform into people. They are born in the wild to normal wolves and hyenas, with a genetic mutation that allows them to shapeshift. They are not supernatural, they are not suffering from any kind of "curse," and the moon has nothing to do with how they transform. They can change into people and back at any time, day or night. They can appear in their original animal forms, as human beings, or as bipedal human/wolf/hyena hybrids. They also behave more like actual wolves and hyenas, and not like horror movie monsters that just run around killing people. Actually, my werewolves and werehyenas are probably far less dangerous than most human beings are. These creatures are also perfectly mortal and can be injured or killed by purely conventional means; silver bullets and other superstitious weapons are unnecessary.
"The Mauling Man" begins when a woman named Jane discovers an abandoned wolf pup in the woods. When she takes the pup back to her log cabin, she is surprised to witness him transform into a little boy. Knowing she has found someone truly special, Jane adopts the little werewolf as her son, naming him Hal, and she teaches him everything she can about the human world, including how to read.
As Hal learns to read, he goes through some of Jane's old Egyptology textbooks, and he learns about the Egyptian jackal Gods, Anubis and Wepwawet. These two Gods speak to him, inspiring him to become a protector and defender of the innocent when he grows up, just like Them.
When he comes of age, Jane releases Hal back into the wild, knowing she cannot keep him with her indefinitely. He travels the forests, eventually meeting a she-wolf named Grace. Her mate has been killed, and now she and her pups are under attack by enemy wolves. Hal intercedes to save Grace and the pups, and he and Grace fall in love and become a couple.
Then Hal really starts to make a name for himself in the local papers. Early one morning, before the sun rises, he rescues a lady who is jogging in his woods from being assaulted. Then Hal rescues two little children and their dog from a housefire. Then he rescues a group of people who are lost in the woods during a terrible blizzard. Stories about this "superhero werewolf" begin to spread, and the newspapers nickname Hal "the Mauling Man" (which is actually a misnomer, since he is not a man who becomes a wolf, but a wolf who becomes a man).
Soon, Hal finds himself fighting the mafia. A mob boss called Old Man Lugosi orders his goons to kidnap a judge's son and hold him prisoner at a cabin in the woods. Unfortunately for the gangsters, they choose to do this in Hal's woods; and when the werewolf learns this is happening, he busts in to save the day, giving the mobsters the fright of their lives. This is only the beginning of a long-standing feud between Hal and the Lugosi Mob.
Meanwhile, a cryptozoologist named Dr. Betsy Phibes attempts to capture Hal, hoping to monetize him and make a fortune from keeping him in captivity. Then the Lugosi Mob hires Jedidiah Clark, a deranged animal trophy hunter, to try and kill Hal.
But Hal's greatest challenge is when he encounters a supervillain known only as "the Ghoul." This mysterious crime boss turns out to be a werehyena. He witnessed his entire family killed by superstitious humans when he was just a little hyena cub. The Ghoul wants revenge against all of humanity for this horrific experience, and he plans to do this by poisoning the local water supply with toxic waste. But Hal manages to stop the Ghoul and reason with him, appealing to his better nature. "The Mauling Man" ends with Hal and the Ghoul becoming brothers in Anubis and Wepwawet.
(Part 2 of this post will feature a synopsis of the second album, "The Ghoul.")

Big move inside the apartment today, laying the ground-work to move the main #Wepwawet shrine into the far end of the living area, where the #3Dprinters are now.
This is going to change the flow of everything, as I'm tired of the #3Dprinter mess being at that end and just cluttering up the space, and allow me to enjoy Jackals far more frequently than I do currently (I only go into the 'shrine room' for ritual stuff and I really want to see #jackals 100% of the time, I mean who doesn't, pfft).
So I will be able to have #candles and #incense and #offerings more often for Wepwawet as well since I can keep an eye on lit candles etc. and more casual "s'up *highfive*" style communication on my way to and from the kitchen 🤣
Truthfully, Wepwawet wanted a big everyday #shrine but never requested it to be as sequestered as it is now, and so He will be pleased, as He is very much an every-day Jackal God ❤
My ritual shrine will still stay in the other room where the 3D printers will go. They aren't too loud thankfully.
-------
Update: 2.5 hours and a massive migraine, but I got it done. Don't ask for pictures behind the camera, it looks like a whole apartment exploded.

Latest project completion: #jackal #Wepwawet #3dprinted
Everything is printed in wood filament (about 30% wood, 70% PLA plastic), the Wepwawet jackal is base-coated in black acrylic and has a couple of iridescent gold top coats + clear coat.
The base is printed in the same material, I used real wood stain and a large brush to drag the stain and try to make it look like wood. Win!
Model is mine, the latest evolution in a 2+ year project, created via Meshmixer originally from a few ovals and some stick legs, heh. It's come a long way.

#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.

My signature #3Dprinted jackal (#Wepwawet, #Kemetic #God #AncientEgypt) got an upgrade this weekend! I re-designed the head from the ground up, designed a new decorative base that is printed in pieces and then assembled. Added glitter 🙂
The base comes completely apart into pieces (top/bottom and 4 sides) which I did so I could more easily have hollow cutouts on the side (easier to 3D print flat pieces with holes than upright ones).
Added a printed gold box inside the base during assembly for a bit of bling but it's difficult to see. I think it will be better if printed bigger (that's probably the next step, go big or go home).
Big thanks to #Sovol #SovolSV06 printer, and #PrusaSlicer 2.6 Alpha 3. Honorable mentions to #TinkerCad, #Fusion360, and #MeshMixer, because I suck at #3dmodeling and needed no fewer than 3 programs to get this done :blob_rave:

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.

Pulled my #Oracle card for the secular year #2023 ahead: #Montu
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 | 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 | 𝗪𝗮𝗿
Sometimes, the only way to make progress in something, is to #confront. Sometimes, the only way to protect the good, is to attack the bad.
It's not ideal -- no one wants friction, or #fighting, or #war, not between others, and not within themselves; however, there comes a point where other options have failed, and the only thing left to do, is fight.
And while sometimes those targets are external, sometimes they are internal as well.
Montu attacks the enemies of #Maat and protects truth and order in the process. He is the swift falcon and the strong bull. He is the blistering rays of #Ra falling upon the world -- ensure you strengthen Ma'at as your shield in all things! He wields many #weapons -- swords, knives, arrows -- in His strikes. He is the Raging One Who prevails, and His rage is righteous and justified.
Montu Who Shines in the Sky, Who dispels the darkness in His sights. He is the wind, like Amun, and the sun, like Ra. He emerges from Nun to watch over the Earth, Who illuminates and protects the land, Who stands strong in the East with arms raised, the rays of Ra Himself on the horizon.
May #Wepwawet guide your arrows.
Images: my Kemetic oracle cards in a custom #3Dprinted case I designed and made for them -- in one photo, the case is open, and the Montu card sits face-up on top. In the other, the case has its lid on, the lid has my Kemetic name on top and an image of Wepwawet, as well as a brass Wepwawet figurine and a small beaded #protection #amulet. Everything except the cards is my creation.

Sketchin' me a jackal <3
Finally managed to get my tablet connected to my computer as a third monitor, allowing me to sketch directly to the PC.
I know, I know, "why bother with the PC at all" -- well I'm just much more of a PC person than a tablet or phone person, so being able to use and draw on my tablet while still having it a part of my PC setup (plus accessing photoshop directly which I'm really good with), really a game-changer for me.
Note that I am really not much of a visual artist. I'm a photographer, digital editor, but a 'drawer' ... eh, not so much. I still like to do it though!
(I had to edit this post and was frustrated I couldn't edit it but only "delete and re-draft" which admittedly is better than nothing)
