Nephthys Devotional Update
I wanted to let everyone know that I’m still working on the Nephthys devotional, She Who Speaks Through Silence: A Devotional Anthology of Nebet Het (Nephthys). I am waiting on some submissions and Tamara Siuda’s The Ancient Egyptian Daybook to be published since I wanted to include as many festivals to Her in the book as possible (with credit and citations, of course!).
So far the sections I have are:
Ancient Hymns and Prayers
Essays
Ritual and Magic (I only have three things here.)
My Poetry to Nebet Het (over 40 poems)
My Poetry to Aset and Nebet Het (about 30 poems)
Modern Hymns, Prayers and Adorations
Fiction
And an Epilogue of Epithet and Syncretization Lists
Also References and a Glossary
Contributor Biographies
Epithets of Nut
