-Sha-Beast of Set Painting-

Homage to you Set, Lord of the Northern Sky, who resides beyond the Imperishable Stars. O Powerful-of-Forefoot, may you stretch forth your arm to let Ap/ep fall! 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 Ra, and give to me all life, and strength, and health.

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.

-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!
