aphroditiful: K E M E T I S M 101 To truly understand Kemetism in an archeological and accurate way, it’s necessary to strip down the Neo Pagan Kemetic movement and go back to the core of what magick was historically in the Ancient Egyptian civilization. In the next few weeks I will be posting a crash course on Heka Magick, here starting with a short introduction. Introduction: ✨In Ancient Egyptian beliefs, Heka magick was the force used to create the world. Creation occurred from the Nun (a state and place of chaos) where the great serpent Apophis resided. (Apophis is he really seen as a malevolent entity throughout the mythology).The first land, the Primeval Mound, rose out of the Nun, and the creator made order out of chaos. Maat (both goddess and ideal) was the personification of this divine order✨. Then, humans and deities were created, including the god Heka, the “ba” (soul or manifestation) of the sun and the energy making creation possible. ✨ All deities and supernatural creatures, as well as Kings, had heka. Magical power is also called akhu- enchantments and spells. Heka was also practiced by priets in the form of rituals and prayers, and played a significant role in preparing a deceased person to enter Duat, the underworld- the ultimate test of your morality and life here on earth. Heka was also used for protection, as well as being employed by the gods and goddesses in their mythical struggles and stories to defeat their foes. These stories form the base of Ancient Egyptian beliefs and spirituality. ✨ ✨ Aphroditiful -- source link
