Welcome to Life with Dice and Diamonds, version 2.5. I tried blogging once before, and my lackadaisical nature got the best of me. This time, though, I’m determined to do this right. I have a lot to say, and I want to be sure that I say it. There’s a lot of beautiful things to be found in Kemetic religion, there’s a lot of rumors I want to step on, there’s a lot of praise I want to give. You’ll find, here, the mad ramblings of a perpetual student in love with her Gods, caught between the logic of her psychology studies and the madness of faith. You’ll find praise, hymns and essays, rants and raves, and epic tales of the “still, small voice” and the little things It does.
If you asked me why I blog, I’m not sure I could tell you – but I’m doing it, for myself and for anyone who is reading. I want to get deep into the meaning behind the madness. I want to explore my faith, turning it inside out and upside down, in front of a bunch of anonymous readers on the Internet who may or may not care at all about what I have to say. Call me crazy, call me a masochist– it’s all good. I write what I know.
What you need to know before reading:
- I am a Shemsu-Ankh and W’ab priest in the House of Netjer, by the name Sobeqsenu. I am a daughter of Wepwawet and Sekhmet-Mut, a beloved of Bast and Nut. I follow the teachings of the temple, but find that my personal practices form the bulk of my beliefs; this has never been a problem, and I consider myself a pretty devoted Shemsu-Ankh.
- While I am a priest, I am not ordained clergy. I’m not an expert on Kemetic theology, nor do I speak in any official capacity. I’m just here to write about my experiences and my life with two unique Gods.
Be well,
Sobeq
