Ooo! That space looks like it'll be great for a sacred space/shrine.
Also, I don't think I've had the chance to say how awesome the Djehuty projects you do are.

Small updates : New window system installed for future home-shrine space :) I hope that a couple of months later, the internal renovation of the newly-created room could be started. At the summer solstice/full moon I ran opening the sacred space/dedication ritual for the future shrine, before doing big rite for Djehuty.

The ancestor veneration stela! * one day will be carved in stone, probably in Egypt * without full hieroglyphic offering-formula yet The drawing made by my friend & wonderful artist Alex Tochidlovsky (and yes, he's taking commissions!)The stela represents my parents and also my Akhu-from-Hermopolis, the ancient egyptian family whom I venerate as my spiritual ancestors * and they are awesome :)

Omfg!!! I dont want to gush, but that stela is amazing!!!! The line art is so smooth and it looks "authentic" in that it kept the style of the Egyptian silhouettes. So well done! Could I ask that you explain who's who? I'm very intrigued by the person coming out of the tree... if it's too personal I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry. It's just... it's so beautiful!!!
Please keep us updated if this gets carved!!!

Please keep us updated if this gets carved!!! The person coming out of the tree is the Goddess Nut. She gives the water of life to the ba-souls. The female priestess represents me. The Gods standing are Osiris and Djehuty. On top, there are two Jackal deities, Wepwawet and Anpu (Anubis). The couple on the elevated seats are my deceased parents (their names are inscribed in greek, as I believe it's better than making them in egyptian "translit". And this would be quite authentic for ptolemaic-style stela. Consider them "greek" foreigners in the kemetic world. I know that they are okay with being honored in the kemetic ways. The dog under my mother's seat is also real dog * he had gone probably opening us ways to the Duat The people in the lower register are my adopted spiritual Akhu, family of hermopolitan priests of 4th century BC: PetOsiris Ankh-f-m-Khonsu and family (two namesakes Djed-Djehuty-f-Ankh, also Sishu(Nes-shu) and Djehuty-Rekh. They all were high priests of Thoth in Hermopolis. (the unnamed priest, as a symbolic figure of the netherworld, is making censing; the woman greeting them with raised hands is me again)

Thank you for explaining that. I haven't been online in a while, so sorry for the late reply. Having a dog very dear to me (and had many pets before that) I love the way you included the dog! This is lovely. Thank you again for explaining it!
