I’m going to go somewhere a little risky in this one. This is just stuff to think about. I was watching The Atheist Experience with my husband a few weeks ago. (Okay, I was tuning in and out because my interest waxed and waned.) And my brain caught on a phrase that, when I went… Continue reading “A problem for the theist”
I didn’t expect them to be back to back. January is a big month for me. I had my long, dark night of the soul, which resulted in Aset, Hathor and Nephthys coming to my aid, as I’ve related in more than one blog post (this early post is the only one I can find… Continue reading Two anniversaries
Okay, that was very clickbaity. (I couldn’t resist.) But, well, check it out… This all started with the realization one day that since, very frequently, I do rite to multiple gods at once, maybe those gods would like their own separate drinking vessels. But the space on my shrine is limited. What to do? Shot… Continue reading Shot glasses on the shrine!
Dua Aset, Great and Gracious Mother, Who gave me strength and healing and light, Thank You for being with me in my most difficult hour. Thank You for saving us from the hurricane, For helping me do what needed to be done. I know You always say, “Find your strength [within you],” but You… Continue reading A prayer to certain Netjeru
Well, it’s been a while. Believe me when I say “crazy” doesn’t cover it. But here I am, and I thought I’d do something, ahem, crazy and post from the middle of the Unyear this year. Exciting, huh? I’m in kind of a weird space right now, religiously. I reached out to my spiritual advisor over… Continue reading Aset’s Day
I could call this post many things. For instance, the above, or perhaps “The prelude.” “The opening act.” Or better yet, “The overture.” Once upon a time, early in the history of this blog, one poster said that Isis didn’t exist. And he was quite adamant that She didn’t exist and that I was being… Continue reading The beginning of the beginning
Once more, I draw my inspiration from Free Inquiry, the magazine for atheists (even though I’m not an atheist). The June/July 2016 issue features two answers to the question “Would You Pray with a Dying Believer?” One atheist writer would; the other would not. I understand this is a little different for me as a… Continue reading Praying with a dying relative of a different faith
Way back in my first post, I said there was a battle being waged inside me between religion and atheism, hence the name Kemetic vs. Atheist. I now have a confession to make. The battle is over. The Kemetic won. So I feel like the title of this blog really isn’t accurate anymore. But at… Continue reading The name of the blog
I was attending a Catholic high school when I encountered what I have been thinking was a proverb, but I guess it’s more of a philosophy, and I thought it was Chinese but I was wrong – apparently it’s Hindu. “There are many paths to the same summit” refers to the world’s religions – many… Continue reading Multiple gods and multiple questions
