Em hotep! It's wonderful to meet you! Neheh speaks of you often.  You must be a special person, as Neheh clearly loves you so. Looking forward to getting to know you.

Em hotep!
It's wonderful that you're in a place to follow through with your desires! I wouldn't be too worried about getting accepted - it's very rare and if it does happen, it's typically because someone doesn't have permission from a parent (if they're a minor).
Wonderful to meet you!

Thanks to Tawa'u, Abet and I also made some moon water! Both of our jars are hanging out with Djehuty in one of my shrine spaces

This post has been edited, as I misunderstood something. I was a shemsu for quite a long time before finally deciding I was ready to be shemsu-ankh. Back when I became shemsu there wasn't a time requirement between the different roles (except priesthood, I believe), and I was another one of those who quickly went from remetj to shemsu. Looking back on it, I can't say that I regret it, but I can say that I made the choice for pretty much all the wrong reasons. Namely, I wanted to be like everyone else, I wanted a line-up, a family, etc. I'm very thankful for the inclusiveness that has been promoted in the past couple of years - when I first began exploring KO, it was obvious that there was a divide between the roles, despite it being frequently said that no one was less important based on their membership. I know some of that was in my own mind, but not all of it was. Being a shemsu was a big deal to me, though. I made an oath to my Father and Beloveds, and it meant a lot to me to do so. I wanted so much to be worthy, and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how I could be. I think that's one of the best parts of being a shemsu though - exploring your relationship with your Family. I've always kind of looked at membership like this: remetj - exploring/enriching relationship with Netjer (some, all, one, etc); shemsu - exploring/enriching relationship with RPD Family; shemsu-ankh - exploring /enriching relationship with king & country (aka community). Keep in mind that this is just how I view it for myself! Despite jumping from remetj to shemsu for the wrong reasons, I was ready for a divine Family that chose me. In a lot of ways, I think I needed it at that stage of my life. But I agree with everyone here - take your time.

Generally, I feel like the icon has to work for you - if you feel drawn to specific imagery, there's probably a reason for it. Go with your instincts!

If you have access to it, The Ancient Egyptian Prayerbook that Hemet (AUS) wrote has a detailed explanation/directions for purifying and installing shrine statuary.

I would also like to know a bit about the basis for your categorization, given that your list of solar Netjeru only includes male Names. I mean, there are quite a few female Names Who I definitely consider to be solar, but maybe we understand it differently?
I must be really tired, because this didn't even occur to me! But now that you've brought it up... I would assume that any deity depicted with a solar disc could be considered a solar deity, regardless of gender, right?

Interesting. I didn't know that either, but a quick search pulled up one of His epitaphs being "iry-ra" which apparently means Eye of Ra? I do not know the validity of any of this - I only found it in one place.

I know from Bezenwepwy (and from a conversation during a saq!) that there are solar jackals. I've heard of Wepwawet-Ra and Wepiu, but that's the extent of my knowledge ^.^;;

I think the one holiday that I always celebrate is Chewing Onions for Bast - I either make something with onions, or Abet and I go out and have a blooming onion at Outback Steakhouse. Last year, my partner sent me money for a fancy dinner there to help us celebrate. We brought my Bast plush with us, and it was quite silly and fun.
I do enjoy Wep Ronpet, though I imagine I'll like it more when I can either visit Retreat or at least go to the East Coast Retreat. It's a bit more fun now that Abet is involved, though!
I actually just attended my first Wesir Mysteries and I felt a lot of things. I've never felt particularly drawn to Wesir until this past year. I've been dealing with a lot of death in my family (both furkids and humans) and it's been hard. It's made me reach out in places I never thought I would - Nebt-het and Wesir, mostly. So, I think this holiday has probably meant the most to me this year.

Em hotep ^.^
Translating, eh? You're in good company, for sure. Ibi and I are both translating German books for information about specific Names, and I know others here like to poke around the LAGG as well. And I see you've got interest in quite a few Odd gods, as we like to call them! May your path of discovery be opened, and may you find what you seek <3
Looking forward to getting to know you (:
Senebty,
Shu

Em hotep! I was MUCH older when I discovered that people worshipped Kemetic gods... I was in love with Kemet from a young age but it never occurred to me to consider worshipping them until I met someone that did! Good for you finding this path sooner rather than later I hope you find what you're looking for here ^.^

I'm glad to hear that you found your invitation! Congratulations, and I hope you enjoy the class. I will probably be joining you, to refresh myself and to support my daughter who is also joining the class. Hope to see you in the IRC chats!

Before you do that - check your spam. One friend of mine that is taking the class this time found her invitation in her spam folder. I believe invites went out on the 26th-27thish, so look around that time frame in your spam folder.

Longjing is also called dragon well, and I'm still looking for my holy grail because it can be really hit and miss - the quality between brands varies enormously, and it can make one dragon well taste totally different from another. Blech.
James actually won a Man Booker prize for his novel, A Brief History of Seven Killings. If you like Jamaica, the 70's and drug cartels, I'd recommend that. If you like slave uprisings and a bit of witchery, I'd recommend The Book Of Night Women. If you like religious and sexual hysteria, then it's John Crow's Devil. He's also releasing a fantasy book soon - Black Leopard, Red Wolf.
These all sounds amazing! I'll definitely have to look into them... you know, when I have some spare time! Good luck with the tea search <3
