James Reinsch10:10 PM

Check out my sweet favicon.

Anyone with a passion for Egypt/Kemet or historical research, please feel free to sign in and write up the history of a festival or two. It’s a wiki, it’s there for communal knowledge.

Abandoned project is abandoned? Nope! She-who-wears-red would never forgive me if I gave up that easily. After the jump, update on the progress of the KemCal.

Dramatis Personae:
Sekhmet – Goddess of vengeance, war and death of the ancient Egyptian pantheon
Me – A humble commoner, sworn to worship Sekhmet

Sekhmet: Hey.
Me: Hm?
Sekhmet <kicks my chair>: HEY.
Me: ACK! Um, yes?

Okay, so I’ve been working hard on this tonight. My plan is to make some form of interactive Kemetic calendar, so people like me can figure out what the heck days to book off work and get blitzed on food and booze. I’ll be releasing it as freeware, donations and gratuities thankfully accepted

Time to clean out my old drafts! I typed most of this post way back in December. Still relevant. I held back posting it because I wasn’t sure if I really had a message or if I was meandering about the topic. Note to self: turn on safesearch when looking for “overweight wiccans.”

As a son of Sekhmet, people often ask me if I’m going to curse them with Her divine wrath for pissing me off. Okay, that’s a lie. Nobody has asked me that yet. Nobody ever asks me the cool questions. But it’s a great lead-in to what I’m going to talk about.

Now, it’s important to note that not all Pagans do metaphysical work (aka “magic,” or “magick” if you’re a pretentious twat). Likewise, not all metaphysical practitioners (hereafter referred to as “witches”) are necessarily Pagan. I have met Agnostics, Atheists and even a devout Christian who not only believed in but actively practiced metaphysics. In fact, the Christian was the first one who actually identified my, ah, tendency toward psychic vampirism. (More on that later maybe. I’m going was talking about psy-vamps on PCP in February.)

So, I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there, and I’ll tell you how I became comfortable with the idea of the left-hand path.

Wanna see something funny? Search twitter for “#christmas is #pagan”. go ahead, I’ll wait.
Neat huh? It’s almost a meme. And yes, you learn a lot about the roots of certain traditions. But you also learn a lot about self-righteous pagans who love pissing off Christians for no good reason.

Central to the beliefs of the Kemetic, or ancient Egyptian, people was the concept of Ma’at. Ma’at is a difficult word to translate, but it is usually literally termed as “balance.” Ma’at is the principle that stability and truth are to be preserved, and was the guiding force behind Kemetic law. It was the belief that a person should contribute to the world around him, rather than exploiting it purely for his own benefit. And it is a principle which still applies today.

Ma’at was also a sexy Goddess, as evidenced below.
