#sutekh
prayer submissions please! hello! I am MerytRa. An independent recon revivalist kemetic. I am asking the kemetic community on here for any if the prayers they wrote. I am compiling prayers for a mini pocket prayer book that will be available online for free when it is complete. You will be credited for your prayer. prayers relating to everyday life struggles such as love, protection, peace etc are preferable, but hymns are welcome too. a majority of the hymns will be directly from translations of funerary literature and stelae. if at all possible, try to keep overly specific prayers to a minimum, a general healing prayer would be preferable to a prayer for healing IBS. please send me a message or reblog this with your submission! make sure to include how you would like to be credited!
Sutekh, colourised from a pigment ink wash I painted in ten minutes using only the leftover ritual ash stain I used on this votive figure. Original on Patreon.

I carved a Sutekh icon for my altar from the same blackthorn branch that I carved Eris. He is stained with an 18-year-old red wine bequeathed to me by a dead bus driver (praise be to Albert! May he live forever!), blackberry and fig liqueurs, and icon. The black stain is part char from my stove, and part a mixture of ritual ash and Stuart Semple’s Black 2.0. The gold is ol’ Stuart’s goldest gold, which I can’t recommend enough really, and gold leaf. The red is a crimson alcohol ink I bought last year and immediately forgot I had. Turns out, it stains unsealed wood really well, and can be blended out with neat isopropyl alcohol on a paintbrush. This would ordinarily make me worry about drying out the wood, but beeswax and neem oil solves all problems.
