I Speak Words of Magical Power

I Speak Words of Magical Power

by JewelofAset

Creation is maintained by Set and Myself.
We are the Gods that defend the Day.
We are the Ones who slay Ap-p.
We are the Ones who diminish its power.
We cause it to die.
Each Dawn.
Each Day.
Set strikes it with His harpoon.
I diminish its power
with My Magic.
My Words of Magic defeat it.
They are Words of creation.
One way of creating the World
was to speak it into Being.
I speak the Words that maintain it.
I speak the Words that stop Creation from being Un-made.
My Words of Magic are Words of Power.
My Words of Magic uphold Creation.
Do you understand, child?
My Words of Magic are the same Words that began Creation.
These are the Words I speak.
These are the Words of Magic.
These are the Words of My Mouth.
I speak and it becomes.
Creation is maintained.
Because of Me.
Because of Set.
Order and Chaos.
Broken and Mended.
He breaks and I mend.
I am the Word.
I am the Magic.
I am these Personified.
I am the Goddess of these things: both Words and Magical Power.
These I Mine to maintain.
These are My essence.
These are a part of Me.
And these are a part of All of Creation.
For everything is Named.
For everything has Heka.
For everything has Magical Power of the Ka.
I contain the Name of Creation.
I possess the Name of Ra.
And Set has His Name.
And I wield My Power.
Both of Us destroy the One Who is Unmade.
One of Us cannot do this task alone.
Set is chaos.
Set is disorder that brings about change.
Set breaks down that which cannot be maintained.
I am the Order of the Ancestors.
I am the Maker of Kings.
I am the holder of Lineages gone back generations.
I am the Foundation of Transformation.
Both of Us are necessary
for Creation to be maintained.
The Wheat must die to grow again.
One is broken down.
One is renewed.
This is My cycle as the Widow of Wesir.
This is Set’s cycle as the Disturber.
He destroys, while I renew.
I am the Widow.
I lost My husband, the only God to die.
This sorrow is a part of Who I am.
He is the Disturber.
He is the only God to take the life of another.
This is a part of who He is.
One who takes life and one who lost it.
Do you see why We are the Ones Who stand
before that which Destroys?
We value life more than any Other.
One who lost a Beloved.
One who slew the Beloved.
We are the most human of Gods.

How You Honor Us

How You Honor Us
by JewelofAset

When honoring the Gods, know that this is a privilege, not a right. We are not at your beck and call.
We have lives too. With other Gods. With other Goddesses. With other spirits. With the dead.

We are not at your beck and call. We will not help you if you do not honor Us. Do you do work for free? Why do you assume that We will? Where are Our gifts? Where are Our offerings?

We do the work you ask. Do the work We ask.

Our blessings flow to those who follow Us. Our blessings flow to those who serve Us. Our blessings flow to those who honor Us. Our blessings flow to those who do Our work.

This is the way of reciprocity. This is the way of right relationship.

How you honor Us depends on Our needs. How you honor Us depends on your needs. Some people are more suited to ritual work. Some people are more suited to sing, dance or play music. Some people are more suited to be Priests. Some people are more suited to be Priestesses.

Some are more suited to serve Us with modern ritual. And others are more suited to serve Us with modern ritual derived from the ancients. All of this is fine.

Do you think the ancient Egyptians only honored Us in one way? Each Nome had their own Gods. They had their own festivals. They had their own myths. Nothing was uniform. Not even the State Rite in the Holy of Holies. There were variations.

So there are many ways to honor Us. So honor Us.

So know that how you honor Us is more based on what you need than what someone else needs. And it is based on what you will do for Us if We have called you to Work for Us.

But remember, child, how you honor Us is based on word and deed. Your actions outside of shrine are just as important as those within. How you speak of Our worship and those who worship Us reflects how you come to Our shrine.

Will you come with an open heart or closed one? Will you come with words on your lips in reverence? Will you speak those words of power with reverence? If those words are ancient or modern, it does not matter. We are honored. We are adored. We are given gifts and offerings. We are pleased.

How you honor Us depends on what you need.

So stop bickering.

Aset Luminous or Aset, the Fiercely Bright One

Aset Luminous (Aset the Bright One, Mother of God) is on June 30th this year in the Kemetic Orthodox calendar. Here is a link on how to make the boats: Origami Boats. So here is an Oracle I wrote for this festival last year. Enjoy.

Dua Aset, the Fiercely Bright One!

Aset Luminous (Aset, the Fiercely Bright One)

by JewelofAset

What are you doing for Her festival?

What will you do today for the Fiercely Bright One?
Light candles or lamps? Sing a hymn? Perform ritual before Her shrine? What will you offer to the Lady?

What will you do today for the Mother of God? The one who gave birth to Heru in the Marshes? The sole Mother who took care of Her son?

What will you do for Aset, the Fiercely Bright One? The One who leads the way in the darkness, dispelling shadows with Her light? The stellar and solar goddess of the dawn.

What will you do today? What will you accomplish? What will you profess?

What will you ask Me in your letter? What prayers and hopes will the boats carry on the water, with My light guiding the way?

What will you ask Me to dispel in your lives? What will you ask Me to cultivate?

What will you do for the Fiercely Bright One? What will you ask of the Brightest of Stars? What will you ask of the Solar Goddess?

I am the Mistress of Magic. I am the Goddess Who Knows Her Spells. What I speak comes to pass.

Do not worry, child. I will take care of you.

Who am I? Am I not the Goddess who knows Ra’s Name? Am I not the wisest and cleverest of Gods? Am I not the Goddess of all magic, all heka, all life-power, all kau?

So what will you ask Me on My festival day?

The words you speak and write have power. What I speak comes to pass. What you write is your heart’s desire.
For what you do, what you say and what you write will become.

I am Not Hetharu/Hathor

I am Not Hetharu
by JewelofAset

I am not Hathor
I am not Hetharu
the Goddess of Motherhood, Sex and Love
These are Her domains
Not Mine
Not Mine
Not Mine
We are both Goddesses of Creation
We both gave birth to the Sun God
We are Ladies of the West
We transition from life to death
But, child
We are not the same
I am not Hetharu
and She is not Me
We have much in common
Her and I
and places where We may overlap
even syncretize
as Aset-Hetharu or Hetharu-Aset
But We are not the same Goddess
We are not interchangeable
When you call upon Me
you are not also
calling upon Her
unless We are coming
as One in Our syncretic form
I am the Goddess of authority, magical power and ancestral lineage
Hetharu is the Goddess of motherhood, pleasure and love
I am the Single Mother
I raised My child alone
Hetharu is not a single mother
She has a husband and a son
I am the Goddess of Love
when it is family love or friendship
Not for lovers
Not for romance
Unless you intend to be as dedicated to your Love
as I am to Wesir
And He died
Why would you ask Me for something
that I loved and lost?
I am the Sorrowful Wife!
I am the Mourning Woman!
Do you want to become a widow?
Why are you asking Me for this?
I am Not Hetharu
I am Not Hathor
She is the Goddess of romantic love
I am the Goddess of childbirth
because children carry on the ancestral lineage of their parents
I am not the Goddess of conception
I am not the Goddess of the bedroom
That is for Hathor
That is for Hetharu
Not Me
