I sent Lady of the Temple: Ancient Hymns for Nephthys to the formatter! I’m still waiting on the cover for Flaming Lioness: Ancient Hymns for Egyptian Goddesses.
The next book I’ll hopefully finish is either Solar Lioness: Ancient Hymns for Sekhmet or Solar Flares and Sunbeams: An Anthology for Ra.
Creation Mother: Ancient Hymns for Mut (working title) is going to take longer as I’m hoping to be able to include some if not all of the Crossword Hymn to Mut in it.
Mothers’ Night (Modranecht) is a holiday celebrating the Mothers, a group of ancestral, prosperity and abundance-giving goddesses called the Disir or Matronae. This celebration was on the eve of the Winter Solstice.
Frigga (Frigg) is associated with the Disir/Matronae and is honored on this night. (Freyja can also be honored here too, but this is about Frigga, so).
Frigga (Frigg) is the Germanic Goddess of the home, hearth, family, childbirth, weaving, spinning, craft-work, artisans, wisdom, folk magic and fate. She is the Queen of Asgard, First of the Goddesses, Mother of the Gods, Queen of Heaven, Wife of Odin, and Mother of Baldr. She is a seeress as well and is the only one besides Odin himself who can sit on Hlidskjalf and see throughout all the Nine Realms.
She is also the Goddess of the Ancestral Mothers (Disir) and Norns. She weaves the clouds and thus, the weather. She is the Goddess of the Orion’s Belt.
I have published an anthology for Frigga which can be found here: Queen of the Hearth: An Anthology for Frigga
The first project is Queen of the Hearth: An Anthology for Frigga. This is an anthology for the Norse goddess Frigg (Frigga), the Queen of Asgard, Mother of Baldr, Wife of Odin and the First of the Goddesses! This anthology has an essay, rituals, poetry, a festival calendar and titles of the goddess!
The first project is She Who Speaks Through Silence: An Anthology for Nephthys. This is an anthology for Nebet Het (Nephthys), the Sister of Aset (Isis), Wife of Set (Seth) and Mother of Yinepu (Anubis). This anthology has modern rituals, poetry, essays/articles and a fiction story. The formatting is almost complete!
The third project is Flaming Lioness: Ancient Hymns for EgyptianGoddesses. This is a collection of ancient hymns to different Eye of Ra Goddesses. So far I have hymns to: Aset/Isis, Nebet Het/Nephthys, Hethert/Hathor, Tefnut, Sekhmet, Mut, Menhyt, Nit/Neith, Nut/Nuit and Seshat. It’s in the proofreading stages!
This project is Lady of the Temple: Ancient Hymns for Nephthys. This book has ancient hymns, a festival calendar and an epithets list for Nebet Het (Nephthys).
Solar Flares and Sunbeams: An Anthology for Ra and His Daughters. I have some hymns for Ra, poetry, a festival calendar and an epithets list.
Lady of the Double Crown: An Anthology for Mut. I have some ancient hymns, an essay, poetry, a festival calendar and an epithets list.
Lioness Goddess, Lioness Queen: An Anthology for Sekhmet. I have some ancient hymns, poetry, a festival calendar and an epithets list.
Lord of Eternity: An Anthology for Osiris. I have some ancient hymns, poetry, a festival calendar and an epithets list.
I’m compiling my final list of epithets for Nebet Het (Nephthys) for my book She Who Speaks Through Silence: An Anthology for Nephthys.
Here is a list of some epithets I have gathered from the LAGG vol 8 and other sources:
So I have three projects that I am working on intensively at the moment. One of them is Mother of Magic: Ancient Hymns for Aset. This book has hymns from Philae, Dendera, Soknopaiou Nesos, Shanhur and some New Kingdom texts. There is also an updated festival calendar and epithets list. I’m waiting on the cover artist.
The other project is Flaming Lioness: Ancient Hymns for Egyptian Goddesses. This is a collection of ancient hymns to different Eye of Ra Goddesses. So far I have hymns to: Aset/Isis, Nebet Het/Nephthys, Hethert/Hathor, Tefnut, Sekhmet, Mut, Menhyt, Nit/Neith and Seshat. I’m still collecting other material and waiting on some permissions.
The third project is She Who Speaks Through Silence: An Anthology for Nephthys. This is an anthology for Nebet Het (Nephthys), the Sister of Aset (Isis). This anthology has ancient hymns, a festival calendar, an epithets list, modern rituals, poetry, essays/articles and a fiction story. I’m adding more epithets and I’m almost done with the final edits.

I empower all women
For I am a Goddess
All Goddesses are the Goddess of Women
As We are Women too
Yet, as Hethert is the Goddess of Motherhood
And Procreation
I am not
I am the Goddess of Women
As Mothers, as Wives
But I am not The Mother
I am not The Wife
That is for Hethert
Not Me
Note: This will be published in She Speaks Through Silence.
Aset is the North Wind and West Wind,
Nebet Het is the East Wind
She is your breath;
She is there as you breathe,
As you speak,
As you sing,
As you wail,
As you scream,
She is there with you in joy and sorrow.
Breathe and She is with you.
