Yes, Christmas came early for me this year. I opened the door and there was a package waiting for me. I took out each box from the envelope. I ordered the 3" collection of Egyptian gods to add to my shrine. Whether it was a coincidence or not (perhaps there are no coincidences with the Netjeru) each god and goddess pretty much followed the order in how much I've been thinking about them. This was the order in which I unpacked the boxes - Sakhmet, Osiris, Ra, Djehuty, Anubis, Bast and Set.
Currently I don't have Set out on my altar because He scares me. If anyone has worked with Set and has found He's okay send me a reply. Currently Set's statue is sitting in a drawer which probably will piss Him off even more.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun arranging them in my shrine and each of them had something to say about where I placed them.
It feels really nice to have the rest of the Egyptian pantheon. It seems more like a family now. For the experts out there, that little statue that was labeled Horus is actually Ra I believe from the sun disk on His head?
The god who insisted on having His separate space was Djehuty. Every time I placed Him in the shrine He made it known He wasn't happy. He wanted to be placed on top of the cabinet next to his pal Anubis. It seems He wants to be where the action is - namely the place where I write. He warned me I better be ready to write a lot when He's there.
Challenge accepted, Djehuty!
Have a blessed evening everyone! In-un-Ma'a (Truly it is)
