the house of two crocodiles

the majority of us in the system worship the kemetic gods, though we also have shinto and druidry flavoured land-based practises. formally we are members of Kemetic Orthodoxy and participate in its holidays and rituals, but also (as most KO members do) have a number of more eclectic beliefs and practises. so this page is about those things, about kemeticism generally, and about the specific gods of our lineup as per Kemetic Orthodoxy's RPD framework.

in may 2021, we underwent KO's rite of parent divination to be revealed as children of Sobek and Set, beloved of Ra, Hethert-Sekhmet, Bast and Heru-wer. in april 2022, we took the shemsu oath and were given the name Mesehwy, meaning 'two crocodiles'.

overall, it's an incredibly solar lineup, as well as having strong kingship and fertility themes. additionally, the specific iru we get create a theme of outskirts, spatially, temporally, and metaphorically - Sobek as Lord of Faiyum and Set as Lord of the Oases both center their rulership on bodies of water away from the Nile, away from the state mythological cycle of the Wesir Mysteries and Wep Ronpet. Hethert the Navigator is a patron of faraway places and mixing cultures. Bast's syncretization with Artemis in the Ptolemaic period represents the very edge of what can even be considered Kemetic.

stuff that isn't finished but we're putting here as an accountability thing:

• stocking god's pantry - on our offering practise and the purpose of offerings in general. partially a reflection, partially instructional.
• souls of Sobek - a comprehensive guide to historically attested syncretisms of Sobek - there's a lot more than you think.
