I Will Aid You

I Will Aid You

by Chelsea Luellon Bolton

Do you remember the promise I made you?

You will never be harmed for loving Me.

This is still here.

This is still now.

I am the Goddess who made the Gods

I am Sopdet, the Star

Shining Bright in the Darkness

I am the Light that guides the way to yourself.

The parts you have lost I can regain.

But you must call out to Me.

For I am the Mother of Heru

and as I healed My son, I made this declaration:

Those who come to Me for My aid

I will help you as I have My son

I will help you like I helped My son.

Everyone is Heru.

Male, Female, Third Gender. Transgender.

All People.

For a King represents all in His Kingdom

And Heru is the King of the People

Heru represents them all.

I am the Goddess of the Throne.

I am the Goddess of Life.

I aid the disenfranchised.

I aid all who call out My Name.

So call on Me

and I will come.

Give Me an offering

no matter how small,

and I will aid you.

Poem: Going in 2018

January 6, 2018 jewelofaset

This is what Egypt foretells

For this year

To end all years

One must begin anew

You must begin where you stand

Where you are,

For where else can you move from?

You must move from where you are.

You have had trials this year.

Some you failed, some you triumphed.

Loss and grief still cloud your way

And so does the disturber,

The peace you seek cannot come from another

It must be cultivated from inside.

You must be what you seek.

Be strong.

Be calm

Be creative.

And trust in your gods and yourself

To work to make your dreams come true.

Write, dear child.

Write.

Let Seshat help you.

Let Nebet Het help you.

Let Wesir help you.

And Let Aset and Wepwawet show you the way.
