Kemetic Lenormand Card (1) The Rider
Djehuty (Thoth) seemed the perfect name to represent the first card in this deck.

-Oracle Cards (2)-
Second card in the series is Ra, and one that is incredibly important in our house. He is both present and intense as the sun in the sky, and his gaze sees all that passes before it.
I should be creating 1-2 cards a week. And will post them on here once I feel they are established and set. The final cards will be printed with gold accents, and those versions you can see on my Patron as I work on them.
If you want to see what pieces I’m working on, what is new and up and coming as well as get first chances at any of my work, please follow me on our Patron.

Homage to you Set, Lord of the Northern Sky, who resides beyond the Imperishable Stars. Advance, O far striding Master of the Seven Stars. May your powerful face be gracious to me. May you establish a crown upon my head like the Disk upon the head of my Father Amun-ra, and give to me all life, and strength and health.
From my personal collection of work, I’m offering up this ooak sculpture of Set. He is often gracious to me in being the subject of my experiments in style, and both my successes and failures as such. It took six months to figure out how to finish this one, but this weekend, I did.

Set has always been a name that comes to me when change is required. Not easy change usually. It can be in difficult times, in growth or in destruction. He doesn’t open doors for me, he takes the door down and removes it from this reality.
I started this piece because I had an urge to try my hand at painting on a wood board. Painting and drawing like this have been hobbies that I left behind many years ago, so it’s an old friend to rediscover them. And funny enough, the moment that I finished, a door was removed from a problem I’d been facing and opened up solutions that are honestly a huge relief for us financially and mentally.
It’s still not easy, but the way is there. As is His way always.FOR SALE HERE

-Amulet Wepwawet-
Wepwawet, open the way before me,
For you see the culmination of my parts,
All the threads of opportunity that wind along my path,
Gather them before me
that I may be more than I am.

A more traditional coloration for a Jackal came on this piece. The sand tones with clack and greyed / silver accents can be seen across egypt. For some this is a more earthly, grounded coloration for Him. A swift Jackal that runs across the lands. Even though the sculpt is still, this Wepwawet hardly ever seems to be.
He’s about action, about movement, and about opening the way before Him.

-Sand Set / Sutekh Pocket God-
Hail, O great Netjeru, I place myself on the earth before you majesty,
Lord of Storms, I tremble before you, for it is you for whom the sky quakes.
Awake for me that my spine may be of your strength
And my aim as true as your spear.Hail, Set, Lord of Life, grant me your power that I may serve you
This day, and every day.

Set, while misunderstood as a Name, is one of great power and respect. He does the difficult tasks. He pushes, he destroys what needs to be destroyed. He is a god of foreigners, and of the parts of the world that are wastelands to our view. Desolate, but not without life. He is not soft, but he is not cruel. And he one that will always be with you when you call.This is the Set I get. The calm stillness of the sand or snow. The eye of a storm that is waiting, watching, poised to act and shelters from the desolation around it. He’s a strong name, but also loving, and has been a rock for my heart and my resolve in this trying year.
You can get a resin cast version of Him on my etsy now!

Nuevo Egipto
Madre e hija se alzan tocando el cielo
entre los sillares de una ciudad mítica,
mientras esperan la visita de un tal Nilo,
que las bautiza bajo una religión antigua.
No envidian a una anciana de Babilonia,
que fue engendrada por los hombres,
estas dos presumen de su cuerpo
moldeado por viejos/nuevos dioses.

Aker
Appearance: First depicted as the torso of a lion with a widely opened mouth. Believed to be a double-headed lion, or two lions sitting back-to-back. Between the two lions the akhet symbol lies, of which the akhet is the Egyptian symbol of the horizon. Though they were sometimes shown with the akhet on their backs.
Location/Abode : In the 1st dynasty, appears under the kings Hor Aha and Djer. “An unfinished decorative palette from the tomb of Djer at Abydos shows Aker devouring three hearts.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aker_(deity) ) The location of Aker’s main cult center is unknown. His role is first described in king Teti’s Pyramid Texts.
Characteristics : Ancient earth-god and death deity of Egypt. Also considered to be a protective deity. The two lions are called Sefer and Duaj, meaning “Tomorrow” and “yesterday”. It’s believed that Aker is possibly more ancient than Geb, another earth-god. Aker himself was often titled “He who’s looking forward and behind.”
Symbol : akhet.
Family : Unlisted.
Other Names : Akeru, Akerui.
Myths : Egyptian thought the gates of the morning and evening were guarded by Aker, usually placing statues of lions at the doors of their palaces or tombs. They were meant to guard households and tombs from evil spirits and malevolent beings. These statues were dubbed as “Spinxes”.
He protected the deceased king against Hemtet, Iqeru and Jagw. He would seal the deceased away from the poisonous breath of the snake demons. Geb joined and promoted Aker’s work, from then on being connected with him. In few spells and prayers, he is also connected with Seth even though Seth was considered to be a wind deity, not an earth deity, unlike Geb who was connected with earth.
In the Coffin Texts of Middle Kingdom period, Aker replaced Kherty, becoming the “ferryman of Ra in his nocturnal bark”, in which case he protects the sun god during his nocturnal travelling through the underworld caverns.
In the Book of the Dead, Aker “gives birth” to the god Khepri, after Aker has carried Khepri’s sarcophagus safely through the underworld caverns. In other underworld scenes, Aker carries the nocturnal bark of Ra. During his journey, Aker is asked to hide the body of the dead Osiris beneath his womb, of which Geb protects him.

Statue of Horus, Temple of Horus, Edfu, Egypt (332-30 BCE)
“After Egypt became a part of the Roman Empire, depictions of Horus in Roman military costume served to express the god’s power in accordance with the new combined authority, and, conversely, to validate Roman political dominance. In this extraordinary object, the iconography and style of the Egyptian and Roman traditions collide with results that are both surprising and subtle.” (Source)
