Dispel Darknessby TahekerutAset
It’s My birthday
My day to shine
To be in the limelight
I am the Hidden Goddess
I am the one unseen
Yet I am always present
At every shrine
At every ceremony
At every temple space
For I am the Lady of the Temple
I guard the threshold between the holy and profane
I guard the shrine from impurity and all unholy things
I am the guardian
I am the guide
through shadow and darkness
I shine when darkness reigns
I dispel darkness with My light
The Sun’s power is Mine
since I am the Daughter of Ra
and the Eye of Ra
The Nile’s power is Mine
since I am the Daughter of Nut and Geb
The Storm’s power is Mine
since I am the Sister of Set
since I am the Mourner of Wesir with Aset
since the Nile’s flood is caused by rain
by the Two Sisters, who mourn Him
I am the Goddess
Who shines so bright
I dispel darkness
With My light
by TahekerutAset
I am Aset, the Brightest Goddess in the Sky
I am Sopdet
I am the Solar Eye
I am the Moon when it is full
I am the stars filling the night sky with light
This is who I am
as the Brightest Goddess
I gleam
I glow
I shine
I illuminate all pathways, all roads
I dispel darkness
With light
I dispel fear
With candle flame
So, come to Me
When you are fearful
Come to Me
When you are afraid
And I will quell your fears
And I will give you the strength you need to endure
I am the Possessor of Strength
I am the Lady of Power
I burn away all fear with My flame
All darkness retreats from My light
For I am the Fiercely Bright One
And no darkness can withstand My power

Festival Names: Procession of Aset, the Bright One, Mother of God a.k.a. Aset Luminous
Day: 4th Shomu, Day 2.
On my calendar this festival falls on July 2.
This festival commemorates Aset’s nightly search by torchlight for Her husband Wesir. Candles, lamps and torches were lit for the Goddess. Papyrus boats were launched in temple lakes. The boats had prayers written on them with a light source to guide the way.
Ritual for Today
This ritual is what we do for this festival in the House of Netjer.
On Aset’s shrine you could have: an image or statue of the Goddess, a source of light from candles, lamps, LED candles or electric candles and offerings.
You will need paper and a pen or pencil or marker (not red). You will also need a tealight and a lighter.
Write a letter, asking Aset for things you are thankful for. Then on the other side, write a letter to Aset asking for things you need. This paper later gets folded into the boat (start folding: thank you side up).
After the paper boats are made, fill a bowl, bathtub or sink with water. A tealight is placed in each boat and they are put in the water. The tealights are lit and the boats float on the water until the candles burn out. (Please keep fire safety in mind).
Thank You/Gratitude Letter Ideas
Ideas of Things You Need
Remember to eat the offerings when you are done. And extinguish the candles.
About Aset
Aset is a goddess of sovereignty, kingship, magic of all kinds, life-power, personal power and authority, writing, words, gaining knowledge, honoring one’s ancestors, ancestral lineage and traditions, dreams, family relationships, self-love, alignment of the souls and healing. She is also a goddess of Heaven, starlight, the night sky and the star Sopdet (Sirius).
For offering ideas, go here: Offerings of Aset.
I channeled this message from Aset about this festival.

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 hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy and safe.
