Hi folks, Ekunyi here, though I'm also known as Saryt (short for Sarytsenuwi). Either works for me, as both hold a fair amount of personal and spiritual significance. I'm 26, partnered to an awesome person I generally refer to as "A," bisexual, genderfluid (female to agendered/neutral, [edited] she/her as pronouns are fine), and... that's plenty of labels. ^_^;
I've been a Kemetic for about four years now, formally a Shemsu with the House of Netjer/Kemetic Orthodoxy for the past two of those.
I primarily worship Set and Bast, though also honor Heru-wer, Hethert-Nut, and Heqat on a daily basis, with Hatmehyt and Sekhmet as frequent, always welcome, "visitors" to my shrine and home.
I have also added some significant ancestral work in the past year, which mostly involves grave tending, the (*cough*improved*cough*) upkeep of an akhu (blessed dead) shrine, and an exploration of my Irish heritage by honoring certain mythic Irish figures (though no gods, as of yet).
When I'm not doing spiritual work, I can often be found writing/recording/performing songs, sculpting, researching, or gaming. I'm also currently in a master's program training to be a clinical mental health counselor.
Anywho! Very glad to be here, looking forward to meeting new folks and getting to know those I've already had the pleasure of meeting a bit better.

A lot of my songs tend to be devotional, but I do some genuinely goofy stuff too. I predominantly sing and play percussion, but am working on leveling up my guitar skills as well. This is my current general music project with my partner A (http://familiarmusic.bandcamp.com/releases) if you're curious! I've also got a purely Kemetic project going with my sibling and zir partner called DUA (http://catfolk.org/album/dua) -- my songs are tracks 1-4 and 8 on that album. 
Good to see you as well! <3
