How You Honor Us
by JewelofAset

When honoring the Gods, know that this is a privilege, not a right. We are not at your beck and call.
We have lives too. With other Gods. With other Goddesses. With other spirits. With the dead.

We are not at your beck and call. We will not help you if you do not honor Us. Do you do work for free? Why do you assume that We will? Where are Our gifts? Where are Our offerings?

We do the work you ask. Do the work We ask.

Our blessings flow to those who follow Us. Our blessings flow to those who serve Us. Our blessings flow to those who honor Us. Our blessings flow to those who do Our work.

This is the way of reciprocity. This is the way of right relationship.

How you honor Us depends on Our needs. How you honor Us depends on your needs. Some people are more suited to ritual work. Some people are more suited to sing, dance or play music. Some people are more suited to be Priests. Some people are more suited to be Priestesses.

Some are more suited to serve Us with modern ritual. And others are more suited to serve Us with modern ritual derived from the ancients. All of this is fine.

Do you think the ancient Egyptians only honored Us in one way? Each Nome had their own Gods. They had their own festivals. They had their own myths. Nothing was uniform. Not even the State Rite in the Holy of Holies. There were variations.

So there are many ways to honor Us. So honor Us.

So know that how you honor Us is more based on what you need than what someone else needs. And it is based on what you will do for Us if We have called you to Work for Us.

But remember, child, how you honor Us is based on word and deed. Your actions outside of shrine are just as important as those within. How you speak of Our worship and those who worship Us reflects how you come to Our shrine.

Will you come with an open heart or closed one? Will you come with words on your lips in reverence? Will you speak those words of power with reverence? If those words are ancient or modern, it does not matter. We are honored. We are adored. We are given gifts and offerings. We are pleased.

How you honor Us depends on what you need.

So stop bickering.

Aset Luminous or Aset, the Fiercely Bright One

jewelofaset

Aset Luminous (Aset the Bright One, Mother of God) is on June 30th this year in the Kemetic Orthodox calendar. Here is a link on how to make the boats: Origami Boats. So here is an Oracle I wrote for this festival last year. Enjoy.

Dua Aset, the Fiercely Bright One!

Aset Luminous (Aset, the Fiercely Bright One)

by JewelofAset

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.

In Memoriam

Laura Janesdaughter, an FOI ArchPriestess and a Priestess of Isis passed away on May 27, 2013.

Years ago, when I first found Isis/Aset, I remember emailing her a couple of times. She helped me and was great to talk to.

May She be embraced by Aset and carried to the West in Her Arms.

Welcome to the Home of the Fiercely Bright One

jewelofaset

Hello.
Welcome to my blog.  This is my spiritual blog dedicated to my Spiritual Mother Aset (Greek Isis).  One of Her titles is “Fiercely Bright One”.*  I will discuss my devotional practices and ongoing research about the Goddess Aset and a few other Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) deities.  I will also talk about some other Gods and Goddesses I follow from other pantheons.

May Aset’s Blessings be yours.

Home of the Fiercely Bright One
By JewelofAset

This is the home of the Fiercely Bright One

The Goddess who will not be denied

I will burn as brightly as the Sun in the Sky

My rays will touch all who come here

My rays will warm their hearts

and their own light will shine

their own Kau will be fed

As offerings do

Do not worry, Child.

I am with you.

*Ka (pl. Kau) is the life force within the Kemetic concept of the soul.  Within Kemetic religion, both Gods and humans have kau.  When offerings are given, both the kau of gods and people are nourished and renewed.
