Wishing Everyone a Beautiful Candlemas and Imbolc: "The Triumph of Ra and the Blessing of Nut" “For modern pagans, the Celtics Fire Festival of Imbolc is important as the first festival of the year, celebrating the return of the sun's light. The darkest part of the year's cycle has passed, and the first spring flowers are beginning to appear, so it is a time of hope for people living in cold dark countries, very different from Egypt. Since the ancient Egyptians had a festival of Nut on the first and the second day of February, celebrating her birthday and they also had in the book of the dead a spell to recited in honor of the sun god, the last day of the second month of winter, we have included both this spell and two hymns to Nut in this rite. A few words and names which appear there needed to be explained heru-khuti is the god of the rising sun, a form of Horus. Tem or Temu is the god of the setting sun. A khu is a spirit. Het-benbenet is the house of the pyramidion or ben-ben stone, the dwelling place of the sun god, The Tuat pronounced Dwat is the part of the sky where the sun rises. The season of pert is winter. The Utchat is the Eye of the sun rises. The season of pert is winter. The Utchat is the Eye of Horus, the moon, which was damaged by Set and restored by Thoth 'Tamt;' is a name of signifying the Universal God Sekhem' meaning 'power' is a title of Ra and some other gods. The children of impotent rebellion mention at the end of the rite are the followers of Apep and Set and tare the forces opposed to Ra's creation chaotic powers which he defeats everyday. The litany presented here is an extract from the beginning of a very long prayer called the Seventy-five Praises of Ra, which identified the many deities with Ra. It is apparent from this that in Egyptian most modern Pagans the various Gods and Goddesses are aspect of one Supreme being who is beyond human comprehension but who is recognized in various forms and manifestations“ (Almond and Seddonpp.39..) My Friend Sent me this in a Email and I feel it's important to share: We Are One I pray we, all children of the earth, no matter our path to enlightenment, come to realize that we are one. We may walk our own paths, but we are not alone, for we walk at the same time, toward the same end/beginning. From our individual perspectives, be we Pagan, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddist, Taoist, or Hindu, are the same. I pray that we all feel the love of our Creator(s) and by example learn to see each other as brothers and sisters, allowing the boundary lines of religion to fade away. May the Lord and Lady bless your path. May you always have enough, and may you give enough in return. Blessed Be. - Beliefnet member FaeAisling CURRENT MOON moon info.. ..I have moved from New York to Georgia Valdosta “No where – land”. However, Valdosta is beautiful with all her splendors.
