Awakening the Divine; Sacred Journeys in Egypt (2024)

21/12/2024

Ra rises. He goes out into the world, a passion, a fire burning up night, making day. His light ennobled the face of heaven. He warms the belly of sky. He gladdens Nut, his mother. He walks the upper regions, his heart inflamed with love.

His words are smelted into gold. With a kiss, Ra turns poison into magic.

Ra rules the air and the gods invisible. The book of law lies in his hands. The speech of his lips falls lightly into being. His word enters the world. “Creation,” says he. “Destruction. Power invisible. Glory.

At any moment, you enter heaven by saying, “I am a temple of Ra.” Love is his light; compassion the light of the world. Ra is fire. Joy is the sky. His heart beats with forever. The white clouds of his thoughts pass over the sky and water.
~Ra Rising. Egyptian Book of coming forth by day, translated by Normandi Ellis.
𓇳 The winter solstice, a sacred moment marking the Sun's rebirth, embodies the victory of light over shadow. In ancient Egypt, this season honored the birth of Ra and the birth of Horus, a celebration of cyclical renewal and eternal return. 𓂀
May the Light of Truth shine steadfast through the darkness, guiding us home to the hearts we share.

O my twice-great master Thoth,
the only God who has no equal,
who sees and hears whomsoever passes,
who knows whomsoever is drawing near,
with the knowledge of everything that happens!

You have made my heart walk upon your waters,
He who walks on your road will never stumble.

O people living on this Earth, and those yet to be born,
ye who come to this mountain,
ye who see this tomb and pass by it.
Come, I will guide you on the road of life,
you will sail with a favorable wind, without accidents,
and you will arrive at the abode of the city of generations.

The road of the man who obeys Thoth [God] is straight,
happy is he whose heart urges him to follow it!

To walk on the road of God is to be filled with light,
great are the advantages gained by those who
discipline themselves to follow it.

It is a monument raised by them on this Earth,
that those who follow the paths of God,
those who cling to the ways of God,
spend all their lives in joy, gathering riches without equal.

Thoth, the God of knowledge, rewards every act according to its own merit.

As you act, so shall you be treated.
To speak a good word is to build a monument.
Happiness is to be found in observing Ma’at.
The West beyond the horizon is the dwelling place for he who has not transgressed the law,
happy is who reaches there!

Nobody can reach there unless their hearts have conformed exactly to the law.

Down there, there is no distinction between rich and poor,
unless it is in the favor of he who is found to be righteous
when weighted in the scales of justice before the master of eternity.

~ Inscribed on the tomb of Petosiris, the high priest of Thoth at Hermopolis.

Hail to you, Great God in the east of the sky! I go aboard your Bark, O Ra, I pass by as a divine falcon, I give orders, I smite with my scepter and govern with my staff. I go aboard your Bark, O Ra, in peace. I navigate in peace to the beautiful West, and Atum speaks to me.

As the great mediator, Thoth/Djheuty finds solutions to the problems of the gods. He brings forth from his great wisdom ways to establish Ma'at- order, balance, harmony.
In many cases, he does so with a twist of humour - think of the dyeing of the vats of beer with pomegranate juice to get Sekhmet drunk.
In Ireland, one of our great superpowers of how as a small tribal indigenous community faced with with the wrath of colonization, genocide, forced famine - it was song, dance, poetry and the art of humour that were intrinsic to our survival by lifting the spirit to find the solutions yo liberate ourselves and lift up the warrior spirit ...and are what we are most well known for today.

How do we move through the chaos in the world and still find laughter, joy, time to dance, sing and write our hearts out to channel the inner world and sadness into art that can uplift another soul?
Every morning my uncle Paddy sends me funny jokes (many inappropriate 🤣) and i get to start my day with a laugh.. see slide 10. No matter what tragic or heartbreaking moment he is dealing with in his own life, even on those days, he still sends me a joke. He still finds a way to smile through it all.
I find this medicine to be vital.
When I first came to Egypt in 2006, I told my then Egyptian fiancé that the Egyptians were very much like the Irish. They loved to joke, laugh, dance, sing, and drink lots of tea! One thing we shared aside from finding beauty in merging our seemingly miles apart spiritual practices (a Muslim man with a Mystic woman!) we would roar laughing more often than not, and as we are still friends to this day, we always bask in the laughs when we hang out.

So my message today is this, find those and keep them close who you can share a belly laugh with, be silly and goofy in the face of the pains of this world, and let that joy medicine of the heart flow out into the collective to uplift the hearts and minds of those who need it most. May they feel a smile upon the wind.🤍🪶🫂
May the medicine of the great mediator Thoth pour forth from the inner world of our collective to help us find the solutions we need to remember we are one race of human souls

Friday the 13th! Let's celebrate women, fertility goddesses, the lunar cycle- reprogramming into our collective the power and magic of 13! Here's one of my favorite fertitlity goddesses of the Neteru, Heket. The glyph and temple relief images are from the glorious temple complex dedicated to the powerful, joyful, creator Goddess Hathor at Dendera.🌟
"Heket, the ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility and rebirth, is a fascinating figure. She’s not just a deity; she’s a symbol of life and renewal. People in ancient Egypt really looked up to her. They saw her influence everywhere – from religion and mythology to medicine and everyday life. You often see her depicted as a frog or a woman with a frog’s head. Why?The frog, which is often linked to Heket, stands for fertility and rebirth because of its life cycle (from tadpole to adult frog) and its connection to water. This symbolism really highlights Heket’s role in making sure children are born safely and life keeps renewing. Key points about Heket’s association:Heket pops up in ancient Egyptian texts as far back as the Old Kingdom (around 2686–2181 BCE). She’s a big deal in creation myths, especially those involving the Ogdoad of Hermopolis. This group of eight deities represents the basic elements of creation. Heket is all about water and fertility, playing a key role in bringing life into the world.
You often see her in ancient Egyptian art and hieroglyphs as a frog or a woman with a frog’s head. Frogs symbolize fertility and renewal because they’re always around water and have lots of babies." ~ By Cedric Ferris

It all started with a sincere prayer at the foot of Sekhmet. In my 18 years of journeying to Egypt + working with her medicine, one thing I know, She WILL move mountains to bring forth the hearts desire. Those mountains are in the form of sacrifice, be it challenging thought patterns, blindspots, unhealthy relationships- thus brings the fires of transformation into every single aspect of life to bring a prayer to fruition. In that deep, heart-felt prayer, I requested her assistance in bringing me a teacher whom I could learn temple science from.
is the Patron of Doctors, healers + physicians.
Firstly, couple days later, I was connected directly to the profund work of dear Dr. and then, upon leaving Egypt, again within a matter of days, I was introduced to the sublime work of Qigong Grandmaster + Daoist Abbot .jerryalanjohnson and was swiftly accepted as his student. The next 5 years, under his tutelage, I trained, with a cohort of amazing students, an ancient system that would teach me the science behind healing, magic, sound and energy medicine, all held in the container of a Daoist temple, Bian Hua Gong (Temple of change and transformation). Just like in Ancient Egypt, where science, medicine and magic were all interconnected + many Priest/esses were also doctors and physicians - my prayer had manifested in to the most epic way, impacting deeply my service work, spiritual growth, my personal life and inner world. Sifu Johnson is a black belt in Shaolin Kung Fu, so that tied in for me too with my 10+years of Shaolin!

2 weeks ago, I was bestowed the title of Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine, having deeply committed the last 5 years of my life to studying and practicing Medical Qigong.
I am so grateful to Sifu J for his guidance, his good humour in how he teaches and the scope of what he shared with us. So grateful to the senior Doctors, Sifu Erika, Sifu Will, Sifu Diego, Sifu Chris and Sifu Singh for all your consistent support and care.

Deep bow to my dear family and besties for caring for Leonardo during all my clinical trainings ❤️🙏

Leonardo, my heart, you were are patient + kind = pure support, pure love

𓇼Celebrated modernly as Lion’s Gate Portal, the annual Heliacal rising of the Dog Star Sirius (Sopdet to the ancient Egyptians & Sothis to the Greeks) coincided with the annual inundation of the Nile, and thus marked the new year, and calendar (Sothis based lunar calendar).

𓇼 Sopdet is the cosmic counterpart of Auset/ Isis, and her beloved, Orion (Greek name) or the God Sahu to the Ancient Egyptians, is the cosmic counterpart of Wesir/Osiris.

Sirius and Orion have been venerated in indigenous, religious and spiritual cultures all over the world throughout human history.

Today, Sopdet follows her beloved Sahu from out of the underworld and raises him from lying to standing... the constellation initially appears lying on his back - then as they move through the sky, he eventually stands up, his beloved behind him. Isis raising Osiris from the dead.

Their love story played out in the sky above.

𓇼I see Lion’s Gate as an immense opportunity to connect our consciousness to the collective of Light workers, those awake in the dream, and a potent reminder of who we are…
children of the Light, stars in the flesh.
Flooding the planet with prayers for peace, justice and abundance all sentient beings.
May Ma'at be restored.
💫
With love,
~Dee

Sopdet, Sirius, is the cosmic counterpart of Isis, and the brightest star in the sky is also known as the Dog Star, and is also associated with Isis's nephew, Anubis.

Today according to the chart by astronomer Jean Meeus' equations shows the predicted Helical Rising of the Star Sirius in Egypt 🇪🇬. (Check the chart in the slides for other latitudes).
This Star marked the season of Akhet, the flood season, and hearled the anceint Egyptian new year of the Sopdet based calendar. 🌊

It is also marks the High Holy day of Lughnasadh, (Lammas is the English translation), known as the 'first fruits harvest' of the Northern Hemisphere, who's name is from Lugh, the grain god, who dies in the harvest to become transformed into the sustenance of the bread of life. Osiris is often referred to as the 'bread of life'... I love to see the correspondences between different mystical cultures!

Peep my stories for a VERY special announcement regarding Ireland 💚🙏

Blessings of this holy day as the Season turns

Ps
On my Sacred Egypt website, I have added a free meditation, Ma'at Heart Breath, for support.
May Ma'at be restored.
May Ma'at reign supreme.

Leo szn🦁. The Egyptian pantheon, the Neteru, is home to many Lion Neters. Maahes, whose name means 'True before Her' (referring to Ma'at), is an equalizer.
He is the force of justice that protects the innocent and punishes those who destroy balance and order, those who are blinded by their hatred, greed, lust for power and ignorance.
His parents are the gentle Bast and Creator Ptah.
Maahes may be an Egyptian adoption of the Nubian Neter, Apedemak.
He is often depicted standing amid lotus flowers, or holding a bouquet of lotus, indicating his pure nature, like that of his half-brother, Nefertum.🪷
Wrathful deities in all traditions are protectors of the great Law and Order, the Holy truth, Ma'at, and are the forces that assist solutions swiftly by holding perpetrators accountable and bringing forth justice to those who have been wronged, abused and oppressed.

May Ma'at be restored 🪶.
Hymn to Maahes:
To Maahes, who is just and true, I offer my praise.
Maahes, wielder of the knife, son of wise Bastet
and firm-footed Ptah, rider each day on the great sun-boat,
defender each day of bright Ra, preserver of the holy,
protector of the innocent, guardian of the horizon,
relentless foe of chaos, maintainer of right and order,
O lord of lions, lord of summer, lord of slaughter,
yours is the vengeance of the wronged, the punishment
of the wicked. Yours is the safekeeping of temples,
the warding of the gate, O Maahes, who is the refuge
of the good, the comfort of the oppressed and the abused,
maintainer of Ma'at. Yours is the strength of spirit,
the endurance of resolve; yours is the might
of the many, the will to prevail against evil.
O Maahes, friend of the righteous, I honor you.

𓇼 Praise to you, Lady of Gold, Great of dignity,
Queen of Upper and Lower Egypt,
there is no nome without Her name,

The Youthful-one Whose manifestation is hidden
the Great-one in the Sky, the Powerful-one on Earth,
She Who inspires great awe in all the cities,
The Queen and the Lady of the Throne
the Powerful-one on Earth, the Great-one in the Sky
Lady of Gold,
Sopdet is thy Name.

The Queen and the Lady of the Two Lands,
the Great-one in the Sky, the Powerful-one on Earth,
Lady of Silver,
Sopdet is thy name;
The Lady of the Sacred Places,
this is Her Horizon of Eternity’s Horizon,
No one enters the Palace without Her knowing,

She establishes Herself here, She gives thanks to Her city,
The Lady with Her offerings for Egypt.
Sothis shines, the Horizon in the Horizon,
Her heart is glad, all of the Ennead are in ecstasy
~Invocation to Sopdet, by San Aset
𓇼Sopdet/Sirius is currently conjunct with the 𓇳 Sun under the Cancer New Moon.

Beloved Goddess Isis/Aset, in her cosmic correspondence, is Sopdet/Sirius/Sothis.

Sirius is known as the Dog star, and thus also associated with Isis's nephew, beloved Anpu/Anubis, the loyal companion and trusty guardian.

With this wave of energy flooding in, under today's fresh breath of the New Moon in the watery nourishment of Mother Nuit (Cancer), aligned with the radiant Sun Ra and illuminating Sopdet, we are invited to soften into the 'freedom' vibes that Sopdet emanates.
Sirius is ancient cultures was seen as a gateway to the God, and venerated all over the world throughout history.

Some reflections to contemplate and journal under this alignment:
Where do I need to place focus in my life in terms of freedom - what are my limiting thoughts and habits?
Where can I breathe into freedom at my depth, to follow its lead with authenticity and integrity?
Where can I shower support to those oppressed in the world?

May the blessings of this Sun, Moon and Sirius alignment raise our next levels of awareness and action, as within and as without,
🤍

𓆣The illumination of the high holy day of Summer Solstice is a celebration of the zenith of the Light, the longest day and the shortest night of our year and is celebrated on June 21st for Northern Hemisphere dwellers.

Those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, it is the High Holy day of Winter Solstice and the return of the light/Sun - the shortest day and longest night. This year, the exact time of the Solstice is today June 20, 2024 at 1:51pm PST.

In Gaelic, Solstice is 'Grianstad', literally 'Sun-stop'. The Latin word Solstice is (sol for “Sun” and sistere “to stand still”), so Solstice is the point where the Sun appears to reach either its highest or lowest point in the sky.

Solstice time invites a pause for celebration and introspection.

𓆣

Amun, Atum, Khepri, Ra,
One who made Himself millions,
Ptah-tatenen of Zep-Tepi.
You made yourself with your own hands,
By your own Will.

- Hymn to Khepri/Khepera

𓆣
Khepri is an aspect of Ra, and a self created God, representing the cycles of movement and change, hard work, and ever striving towards illumination from out of the darkness. Khepri, the humble dung beetle, works actually in pairs, male and female, where it is the male that pushes the dung ball with the eggs inside laid by the female, and she follows closely behind, protecting.
A Neter we can work closely with during these times of great upheaval, change and transformation, where we must harness all our strength and creativity to push through the dung, through the darkness, to the face of the rising sun (next level/accountability/transparency) and bring our intentions and prayers (creativity/solutions/peace) to life and to light.
Dua Khepri 𓆣

I am Ra. The path of our learning is graven in the present moment. There is no history, as we understand your concept. Picture, if you will, a circle of being. We know the alpha and omega as infinite intelligence. The circle never ceases. It is present. The densities we have traversed at various points in the circle correspond to the characteristics of cycles:
First, the cycle of awareness;
second, the cycle of growth;
third, the cycle of self-awareness;
fourth, the cycle of Love or understanding;
fifth, the cycle of light or wisdom;
sixth, the cycle of light -Love, love-light or Unity;
seventh, the gateway cycle;
Eight, the octave which moves into a mystery we do not plumb.

In ancient Egypt, cats were sacred animals. People dedicated mummified cats at the sanctuary of the cat goddess Bastet as offerings. The sanctuary was located in the city of Bubastis where the remains of numerous cat mummies and small cat sculptures have been found.

Cats were also pets, just like they are today, and were sometimes mummified and placed in tombs with their owners. The belief was that by placing cats and their owners in the same tomb the pair could remain together in the Afterlife.

Goddess Hathor, Mother of All, She who existed before time, her life-flowing milk creating the cosmos, the celestial cow, crowned with the horns of the gentle powerful water buffalo, holds the Sun, all of creation, thank you for your creative force that bridges all worlds.
She as Lady of the West, she who holds the space between the dimensions, welcoming the newly departed, and welcomes the new born.
Goddess of Joy and Love, life-giving milk of the Great Mother, may you help us to remember the sacredness of all life as we are all your children under the same sky.

Prayers, gratitude and offerings to all the mothers, to mothers in birth, in conflict, who are ill, those who have lost their children, and those who's mother has crossed over.
Thank you to my dear beloved Mama for all your love.

I am so grateful to be a Mother, thank you Leonardo, mi Tesoro, for chosing me, it is the greatest gift of my life.🤍
Awake in peace! You, yourself beautifully wake in peace!
Hwt-Hrw, Mistress of Iunet, Awake in life!
The Neteru themselves raise to worship you each day,
The venerable sky!
For you are the one, the ball of the sun that pierces the sky,
Flooding the country side with gold, who brings life in the east,
Who then immerses the setting sun each night in Iunet.
Awake, Hwt-Hrw, in peace!
The Great Mistress of Iunet, Eye of Ra, Mistress of the sky,
Queen of all the Neteru, the venerable and powerful one who takes Her place in the barge!
You, yourself Awake in peace!
Awake in peace the Mistress of Iunet, Queen of women, beautiful of face,
Whose eyes are made-up, whose breasts shimmer, the Mistress of costume and beauty!
You, yourself wake in peace!
Awake in peace beautiful woman whose love is soft, the Mistress of the Menat,
Queen of the Sistrum, your son - Ihy, the child - appeases you!
You, yourself wake in peace!
