I am here for Friends

About Me

I live in Edinburgh with my husband Simon and two cats, Seti and Loki.
I am completely addicted to Ancient Egypt and have been working on my site ( Ancient Egypt Online ) for some time now. I also make jewellery and incense inspired by Ancient Egypt which I sell online at Kemet Design (Kemet means "the black land" and was one of the names the Ancient Egyptians called their home).
I love the hieroglyphic language. I think it is more beautiful and expressive than English. Check out the list of hieroglyphic signs and tutorials .
My favourite goddesses and gods are....

Bast

Bast is beautiful, dangerous, playful and intelligent. She is the ultimate cat. Find out more

Seshat

The goddess of reading, writing, arithmetic and architecture. She was known as "Mistress of the House of Books" because she looked after the library of the gods and was the patron of all earthly libraries. According to one ancient myth Seshat invented writing. Find out more

Sekhmet

Sekhmet was a lion-headed goddess associated with the "Eye of Ra" , who almost destroyed humankind. Thankfully, the gods managed to trick her into getting drunk (by pouring beer stained red with pomegranate juice all over the fields) giving her the worst hangover in history and putting her off the slaughter. Known as the "Lady of the Flame" and "the Destroyer", Sekhmet was a force to be reckoned with. However, she was also the "Lady of Life" and acted to defend Ma'at (balance, justice or truth). Her name strictly translates as "Powerful female". Find out more

Anubis

The statues of Anubis buried with Tutankhamun are breathtakingly beautiful and rather comforting. Find out more

Bes

Bes was a god of war who also protected babies and pregnant women. Every time a child smiles for no reason, it is because Bes is dancing and pulling faces for their amusement. Find out more

I'd like to meet:

People who know that life is just a ride, and don't take it too seriously.People who love Ancient Egypt, history, languages, art, music, and all of the other fine things in life.

Music:

My favourite band is the Pixies. I also love punk, ska, rock, grunge, industrial and goth music.

Movies:

I love horror films, kung fu movies and pretty much every other type of film except romantic comedies and sugary sweet girly movies.

Television:

I don't watch much TV anymore. When I do I like to watch series (Buffy, Firefly, The Wire, Lost, 24, ) and comedy (Spaced, the Mighty Boosh, Still Game, Peepshow, The Office, Scrubs). I also love Dr Who and the gothic soap-horror Dark Shadows (which unfortunately is no longer on TV).

Books:

My favourite book is Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco. I also love books on ancient history and languages, mysticism and philosophy and works of fiction.

Heroes:

Kim Deal (Pixies)
Bill Hicks (world's greatest comedian)
Michelle Yeoh (martial artist)
Bruce Campbell, obviously
