Slan and Senebty, Isaac

Back when I still considered myself neopagan (yes, I did at one point in my life, for about five years), I had the opportunity to attend the 1993 Parliament of the World's Religions as part of the delegation for the Fellowship of Isis. During that event, I got to know one of our suitemates, whose name I knew from a couple of books I'd read that, shall we say, were not exactly bunnies and light.

If the neopagan movement had a trickster god, Isaac Bonewits was surely it.

Four New Shemsu!

We Named four new Shemsu last week.

Congratulations to Takhemetaset, Senedjemsekhmet, Tasaiserqet and Iwa'atbast on taking Shemsu vows and becoming full members of Kemetic Orthodoxy!  It was a pleasure to have your Naming with such a "full house" in the IRC chat.  Namings are always very joyous events for us and all the more so when the rest of the family is present to watch them happen.

This week we'll be graduating a new set of Beginners and starting up a new Beginner's Class for the summer.  We've also entered the final part of the Kemetic season leading up to New Year (Wep Ronpet, 7 August) and so there's lots going on around the faith.  Are you excited?  How are you holding up on your goals for Djehuty's year?
