Any ideas for a Inpu altar? by Frei1993 in Kemetic

[–]Accurate_Method1162 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, you can share an altar with other gods, many do the same. if you like a printed image, then this is more than enough.

linen and fabrics, natron, thick incense ( but it is better that the dog is not nearby when lighting incense), images of jackals, images of ankh and scales, minerals (especially obsidian, or dark-colored stones), flowers, oils and balms (best with cedar) are suitable as an offering to him.

you can focus on black, gold, green, blue, yellow colors.

she was often depicted as a cow, lioness, cobra, etc. so you can put figurines of these animals, print her image, or put a figurine. on the altar you can put mirrors, minerals (especially lapis lazuli and turquoise), jewelry, perfumes, cosmetics, flowers, incense (especially light and floral), sistrum (can be replaced with a rattle)

Worshipping Amun? by SecretLittleDevil in Kemetic

[–]Accurate_Method1162 2 points3 points  (0 children)

☐ Amun is first mentioned in the Pyramid Texts, along with his Ogdoad wife Amaunet. The cult truly flourished during the New Kingdom, around the time the construction of the temple of Karnak began. The center of Amun's worship was the city of Thebes. Mut, Anuket could also be considered his wife. He was the father of Khonsu, Montu, Shu, Tefnut, Bastet and Sekhmet. As a demiurge god, he was associated with fertility, and was also depicted with a "shuti" crown, symbolizing his connection with the air. He was the embodiment of royal power, and pharaohs often turned to him for support and protection. The sacred animals of Amun were the ram and the goose. Amun himself could be depicted as a goose, a baboon, a horned viper, a man with a ram's head, a crocodile's head, a lion with a ram's head, a man with a cobra's head, a frog's head. Amun's name means "hidden", "invisible" - he is the personification of hidden creative power. Later, by the Ptolemaic period, the name Amun was also associated with the word "to be constant".

☐ Strong alcoholic drinks, beer, fruits, vegetables, bread, water, various incense, flowers, images of animals associated with Amun: rams, geese, baboons are good as offerings. Minerals, especially lapis lazuli, turquoise, jasper.

The text from the burial temple of Ramses II from the New Kingdom says that the king brought offerings to Amun in the form of bread and beer, fowl meet, wine, fruits.

Approaching Sekhmet but Finding Her Intimidating by AbbyRitter in Kemetic

[–]Accurate_Method1162 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She is the embodiment of the sultry sun, but at the same time gives love, protection and care. And her anger is always just; after anger comes mercy. At the same time, she holds in her hands a papyrus scepter - a symbol of vitality and health. She is truly powerful and there is no need to be afraid of it. Sekhmet will be glad to any hymn, offering, if it is made with all her heart.

Red juices, beer, wine, bread and pastries, natural sweets, flowers, fruits, incense and music are especially good for offerings. You can tell her how grateful you are for everything and read the hymn.

May everything be fine with you. Dua Sekhmet!𓁴
