Em hotep!
I love very much that your ancestors brought you here. A cornerstone of this religion is venerating our ancestors - our akhu, so it sounds like you've come to the right place.
As for the shemsu name and vow, as Amarantheia said, it's a process. Focusing on the beginner classes and learning all you can about the religion will be a good first step to making your way towards becoming a shemsu, if that is your wish. Looking forward to getting to know you!

Em hotep and welcome back!
I don't think I have anything new to say - just echoing everyone else - we all have our paths, and it usually isn't a straight line. I think I see that you've asked if you should re-take the beginner's class - I say yes! Go for it! And if you want to take a peek at things, you can find the lessons on the forums as well.

Nekhtet! That's wonderful to hear. We'll all be waiting to see the results! <3

It's nice to meet you! It sounds like it's a good thing that your partner is now an ex-partner. No one who loves you should make you feel bad about being spiritual and/or religious.
Hope to see you around!

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
