THE BOOK OF GATES 283 Everything perishes for them (?). My glorious eye belongs to you. Light is assigned [12] to you, before he goes to rest in you. C. Those who are as the desert say to Re: Oh thou who hidest us, come [13] to us! Oh Re, from whom we have come forth; hail to him who is within his sun disk, the great god, rich of forms.

He opens for Re. [25] Sia (says) to the guardian of the desert: Open your gate for Re, unlock your door for Akhty. The secret room is [26] in darkness until the origin of this god originates. Then this door is closed after this god has entered. [27] Then they who are in their graves lament when they hear this door slamming. [28] REGISTER OF THE SUN BOAT. Legends. Above the sun boat: Heka.

Dragging of this god on the part of the gods who belong to the under­ world, in order to make the division of that which is in the earth, to govern those who are in it (in the earth), [32] to judge in the hidden place (or: in the West), to make the great one into a small one among the gods who are in the underworld ( = the dead), to put [33] the spirits on their places, to deliver the dead (the condemned ones) to .

They can be traced throughout Egyptian dynastic history, in textual sources such as spells of healing and protection, offering and dedicatory texts, and private letters, and in cult emplacements and objects from settlement sites. Protective divinities such as Bes, Taweret, and Hathor were favored, along with ancestors who could be deceased kin, local elite, or royalty. State-level deities were also supplicated. Central practices were offering and libation, and conducting rites of protection and healing, while there was also strong recourse to protective imagery.

  • "God's Love Story Sermon Outlines" Section 4: He Has a Jealous Love
    "God's Love Story Sermon Outlines" by Doug Hamilton Section 4: He has a Jealous Love (Exodus Chapters 1-13) The people of Israel had been in Egypt for over four centuries. During that time they multiplied from seventy people to millions, filling the Land of Goshen. Moses was called upon to speak for God to deliver the people and return them to the Promised Land wherewith they had come. They had become slaves against their will to build pyramids in a foreign land. God demanded Pharaoh through Moses “Let my people go!” (Exod 5:1). It was not just out of the land they were to go, but also to come out from the false-gods to which they had accepted. They were desensitized to paganism, needing to be freed and reeducated to serve the one true God, Jehovah. It would be necessary to deprogram the Israelites from this idolatrous mindset; therefore Jehovah would launch an all-out war against Egypt’s top gods to prove His superiority. Everyone in the Land of Egypt would be taught the lesson that our God is a jealous God and His love is a jealous love. He would destroy their pagan god system. • Exodus 12:12 “…against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments-- I am the LORD.” • Num 33:4 “…The LORD had also executed judgments on their gods.” • Exodus 20:3-5 “You shall have no other gods before Me...You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God..." He is a Jealous God! What we are about to cover is God’s best attempt to have “No Other gods Before Him”.

  • Egypt If One Wants to Provide a Brief Overview of Egyptian Di- Vinities
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Sarah Iles Johnston (Hrsg.), Religions of the Ancient World. A guide, Cambridge, Mass. ; London 2004, S. 393-396 EGYPT Isis kneeling, from the sarcophagus of Amenophis II in the Valley of the Kings near Thebes. Hirmer Fotoarchiv thought, there are thousands upon thousands of further entities one could call minor gods to avoid placing them in the same category as “demons. ” A precedent for us- ing the terms major gods and minor gods is provided by a stele of Rameses IV (ca. n 52-1145 bce) from Abydos. Furthermore, no opposition between gods as greater and demons as lesser divine beings existed in an- cient Egyptian terminology. And finally, the creatures that today one might readily characterize as demons, such as many inhabitants of the Egyptian underworld — as depicted in the Book of Caverns, for instance —are rarely referred to as gods in Egyptian texts. Despite these difficulties, scholars have of course tried to determine what conditions must be fulfilled in order to speak of an ancient Egyptian supernatural being as a god. One definition that has found wide acceptance was proposed by Jan Assmann, who suggested that for the term to be properly applied three conditions must be fulfilled: the divinity must be associated with a cult or Egypt topographical site and must possess both a cosmic and a If one wants to provide a brief overview of Egyptian di- mythic dimension. In the case of Osiris, for example, vinities, including demons and the multitude of who clearly qualifies, long litanies (e.g., Book of the personifications, it is a good idea not to get bogged Dead, utterances 141-41) list the places where he was down in details.

  • The Ancient Kemetic Worldview and Self-Liberation: Mdw Ntr and Seeing with Sia
    THE ANCIENT KEMETIC WORLDVIEW AND SELF-LIBERATION: MDW NTR AND SEEING WITH SIA A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS by Stephanie Joy Tisdale May 2013 Thesis Approval: Dr. Iyelli Ichile, African American Studies, Thesis Advisor © Copyright 2013 by Stephanie Joy Tisdale All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT As the direct descendants of the first human beings, African people are the supreme witnesses of Creation itself, and senior authorities regarding the earthly Creations. African people bear supreme witness to humanity, and the most effective methods of being human: the biology and chemistry of life, the physiological and metaphysical aspects of earthly existence, and the science of the cosmic Creations—observing all that is above and what exists there, beyond the sky. By definition humanity is African: the first human beings were African and the first defining innovations of humanity were birthed in Africa. Since history is necessarily a study of the origins of humanity, and the first humans were African, history then must initiate at the emergence of humankind, which took place in Africa. The records left and maintained by the oldest humans on earth—written, memorized, or otherwise—provide amazing clues as to the initial Creation and subsequent development of humankind. As each successive generation works to strengthen the collective memory of their own people’s past before conquer, the struggle to remember memories and to keep traditions intact becomes even more evident. As with every epic turn of events, the conquered are forced to decide if they will remain as such or not.

Even if Egyptian self- identity was defined as intrinsically opposed to the Other, i.e. the foreigner, Egypt always maintained contact with its neighbors, particularly Nubia and the Near East. These intercultural contacts had an effect on the religion. Since the earliest times, deities like Dedoun, Ha, or Sopdu formed an integral part of the Egyptian pantheon, so much so that their likely foreign origin is not immediately perceptible.
