Isian News Lughnasadh 2019
I published a poem in a quarterly ezine called Isian News! Isian News is the ezine of the Fellowship of Isis, an international, inter-religious goddess-spirituality organization. So I download the PDF to see my poem and read other people’s works and I find…a section about me.
They had a list of my books and my book banner from my website on there! And they had such kind words to say about my work!
“FOI Co-Founders Lawrence Durdin-Robertson was a scholar; his sister FOI Co-Founder Olivia Robertson was an artist. Both were authors. They encouraged members to continue their studies, via psychic questing, scholarly research, and activities within the arts. Chelsea’s work is a fine example of what they
envisioned our members of Aset Shemsu to accomplish. Many members have written saying how much they have enjoyed her contributions to Isian News, and many more have written to say how much they enjoy and value her books. They
are a wonderful resource.”

Thank you for including my work in this wonderful issue of Isian News! And thank you for your kind words.

Review: Auset Egyptian Oracle
This is a review of Auset Egyptian Oracle Cards by Elisabeth Jensen and Illustrated by Marie Klement. First off I have to say I love the art. The cards are gorgeous. The gods and goddesses are depicted in very traditional, ancient Egyptian styles and motifs. They are absolutely stunning! (I do prefer this art style, so I am completely biased here). The only card I did not like the image of was the Sirius card.
Happy Brigantia/Imbolc!
Happy Brigantia! Happy Imbolc! Here is one poem for the Goddess Brigantia from my book Divine Words, Divine Praise: Poetry for the Divine Powers.
Brigantia–Her name may mean “Exalted” or “Queenly”. She is the tutelary deity of the Brigantes and is a Romano-British deity who has similarities to Athena/Minerva and Brighid. Her only titles were left in Roman inscriptions on altars. Her titles are Goddess, Heavenly, Nymph-Goddess, and Imperial Guardian. Her symbols were the crown, spear, helmet and shield; a globe, wings of victory and the head of a Gorgon on her brooch. She is a goddess of nature especially water and trees; a protective war deity; a goddess of artisans and their crafts, a lady of sovereignty, a goddess of knowledge, a healing goddess and a heavenly Queen. She may have been a goddess associated with oracles. Like Brighid, she is the goddess of the hearth and home.
Offerings to Her include milk, honey, wine, beer, mead and fruit.
Celtic/Roman and English Epithets
Caelestis (Heavenly)
Dea (Goddess)
Nymph-Goddess (Goddess of nature associated with waters, trees; healing and oracles)
Tutela Augusta (Imperial Protector/Guardian)
Victoria (Victory)

Poem: Wepwawet is Your God
Wepwawet is Your God
by Chelsea Luellon Bolton
Wepwawet wants His shrine
to be like His Mother’s (Aset)
Large with many statues
with many offerings
He has much to teach you
if you’ll listen
He wants you to honor Him
more often
with offerings and words
He loves you
that is what Beloved means
One Who is Loved
He will lead you to His statues
He will lead you on your way
Yinepu is with Him
as His Little Nephew
as His Brother
as Sons of Ra
as Sons of Wesir
They can have different parents
Wepwawet, Son of Aset and Wesir
Wepwawet, son of Nut
Wepwawet, son of Ra
Yinepu, son of Nebet Het and Ra
Yinepu, son of Hesat and Ra
Yinepu, son of Nebet Het and Set
Yinepu, son of Nebet Het and Wesir
Yinepu, son of Bast
Yinepu, son of Aset and Wesir, for the Ptolemies
But for you,
Wepwawet is dominant
Wepwawet is your God
Wepwawet is your Beloved
Wepwawet is only with Yinepu
when Yinepu needs to be
the Opener of the Way
The title brings the God forth
Wepwawet is with Yinepu when
they guide the dead
Wepwawet is with Yinepu when
their functions overlap
as a syncretism
Sometimes, they can be a syncretism
Most times they come together
For you,
Only Wepwawet
Yinepu is not the same as Wepwawet
Wepwawet is not Yinepu
Wepwawet is a standing jackal
or a sitting jackal
or rarely, a Jackal-headed man
Yinepu is a Jackal-headed man
or a recumbant jackal
or a jackal-headed man with a mummy
or a jackal-headed man ontop of a box
or a jackel-headed man weighing the heart
These are different gods
with different functions
with different parents
with different preferences
with different iconography
These gods are your gods
Wepwawet, the Jackal on the Standard
the Jackal on the Standard is your God
as Wepwawet
The Jackal is your God
as Opener of the Ways
as Lord of the Shedshed
as Lord of the Oasis
as Lord of the Necropolis
at Abydos
at Asyut
at Edfu
as Lord of Lords
as Lord of the Sky
as Lord of Asyut
as Lord of Abydos
as Lord
as Lord of the Roads
as Controller of the Two Lands
as the Son of Aset and Wesir
as the Son of Ra
as the Son of Nut
as the Guide, Guard and Protector
who shows the way to victory
for all who call upon Him
Blessed Winter Solstice!
I am the Eye of Ra
by TahekerutAset
I am an Eye of Ra
I am the Goddess of the Star,
Sopdet, Sirius
I am the Goddess of the Moon
When it is Full
When it is New
I am the Goddess of the Sun
The Solar Eye, the Fierce Goddess
I wield Flame, Magic and Blade
I am the Lioness, the Leopard, the Cobra
I am the Avenging Eye
I am the Lioness appeased at the Isheru-Lake
I am the Cobra whose tears created Humankind
I am the Raging One, I am the Pacified Lady
I am the Wandering Eye
I am the Goddess who returns and departs
I am the Sun as it moves throughout the Year
Days grow longer, Days get shorter
as I leave and return, as I return and leave;
This is My cycle
as the Goddess of the Solstice
in the Winter and Summer
And this too is My cycle
as Sopdet appears and departs from view
as the Moon reflects Ra’s light
as it waxes and wanes
All of these cycles are Mine
as the Eye of Ra.

Arrow, Word and Fire

Cast Your Gaze upon those who are vulnerable
Cast Your Gaze upon those who are poor
Cast Your Gaze upon those who are downtrodden
Cast Your Gaze upon minorities of all kinds
Cast Your Gaze upon Women as Our rights are stripped away
Anyone who is now in harm’s way
Cast Your Gaze upon us with favor
Please protect us in Your name as the Eye of Ra
Please protect us with Your frightening gaze
With Anger Ridden Eyes
With Blazing Fire
With Scimitars
With Bows and Arrows
With Magical Incantations
Protect us from those who would harm us.
Please protect us with
holy arrow, word and fire
