Comment on Update on the Kemetic Calendar by James

Of course, being the putz I am, I missed your first comment. Sorry about that!
I’ve been meaning to post an update about this project. It’s not dead – far from it – but it has evolved. The new project is hosted at http://kemeticcalendar.org/ and I welcome any and all help from the community.
The project is now a festivals wiki, including a complete(ish) list of festivals by kemetic date and as much info as I can compile about the calendar and its interpretation. In addition, each festival has its own page where more information can be added.
The only thing I ask from anyone who wishes to contribute is that we keep it professional. There is an awful lot of uncited and in some cases downright inaccurate information about Kemet online, and I believe it’s because of this that Kemetic faiths are so inaccessible to those seeking enlightenment.
All information on kemeticcalendar.org not directly linked to a verified historical (i.e. ancient) source will be considered personal interpretation or UPG. This information is welcome on the site, as interpretations of others can be extremely helpful in understanding and respecting old traditions, but it will always be clearly marked to avoid confusion and to keep the site relevant to historical researchers and “hard” reconstructionists.
The desktop app is, for the time being, retired. The dependence of the religious calendar on the lunar cycle made it far too complicated in the form I was using it, and I feel it would be inappropriate to shoehorn so many religious festivals into the civil (secular) kemetic calendar.

Hey, I thought I already posted a comment here so either I didn’t or you didn’t pass it through. I’ll try once again (or for the first time?)

What you can do is base the date of Wp Rnpt on the new year for the Coptic Orthodox calendar. This next link would explain why:
http://www.copticchurch.net/easter.html

Then we can explain how to figure out when Sopdet rises in that person’s area, and then make it so that the program slides all the festival days over accordingly. Please let me know if this works out because I’d like to see this calendar up ASAP. I also think it would be pretty awesome to make a desktop widget for the calendar using google apps or something.

Hey, I wanted to ask if you needed any help. Let me know if there’s anything I can do.

Here’s a link on figuring out the calendar: http://www.inkemetic.org/Library/index2.htm

And actually, I combined the information from the SIG on how to calculate Wp Rnpt with how to keep the lunar calendar in line with the civil year on my Kemetic Reconstructionist page on facebook here:

Comment on Me: Inspired Creator or Impressionable Douchetard? by James

Well then, that’s two people who’d watch, and one wife who groaned audibly at the idea of letting out my manic side on the web. Winsauce?

Sekhmet works in mysterious ways. Direct, often painful (see my latest post), but mysterious nonetheless. I’m glad you liked it, and honored that it spoke to you. It was one of those inspirations where I knew I’d get groans, but I just couldn’t resist. Besides, one of my little “callings” in life of late has been to make my beliefs a little more accessible to others.
If someone wants to record an audio version, I’d totally repost it.

Also, sorry about not approving your comment for like half a month. Been sorta distracted of late, and you got spamfiltered somehow.

Em Hotep! *henu*
I totally dig this “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” Kemet style.

I have to honestly say I got goosebumps and felt weird and uplifted when I read it. Might have been the cigarette I was smoking or not. Still it spoke to me in a way nothing about Sekhmet ever has. That’s no joke.

Thanks for the great laugh too.
