In this blog, we will explore some of the most significant Kemetic symbols and their meanings in both ancient and modern times. I will give you ways and ideas to use them in your pagan practice and magic.
Isis, originally called Aset, meaning Queen of the Throne, was a powerful goddess not only in Ancient Egypt but also in the Greek and Roman worlds. No wonder so many pagans seek to honor her today!
Anubis has a bad rap. As a death god and Lord of the Afterlife, he is often portrayed in contemporary media as an evil or angry villain. Nothing is further from the truth.
Historically Anubis (Anpu or Inpu) is a much admired god who was seen as both the weigher of the heart (judgement) and the protector of souls (guardian).
Many contemporary pagan traditions, such as Wicca and Druidry, divide the year into eight equal pie pieces known as the Wheel of the Year. The Wheel follows the agricultural cycle which is acknowledged both directly and as a metaphor for the process of self-improvement and spiritual growth.

Most people have heard of the Law of Attraction thanks to The Secret, the books and movies based on this ancient way of thinking. As interesting and as informative as they are there is so much more to the Law of Attraction than the franchise could possibly cover.
