		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday morning, I heard my Mother&#8217;s voice for the first time.
Usually when I &#8220;hear&#8221; Bast, what comes through is an impulse or a knowing that immediately is translated into words inside my head by what I call the &#8220;Bast voice,&#8221; which is not unlike the inner voices that belong to my various fiction characters. While [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend was the spring equinox, and the weather was absolutely beautiful, so I spent a large chunk of time outside&#8230;doing yard work. (Which I actually do enjoy, although right now I have more tasks than I do energy.) At any rate, my plan on Saturday was to begin by picking up some pine cones [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
A major part of the process of settling and growing in Kemetic religion is figuring out one&#8217;s calendar. With some hundreds of known festivals filling almost every day of the year, it can be entirely overwhelming! Most people seem to prune it down to a handful of focused observances, with at best a quick candle [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a good weekend &#8212; a friend and fellow Kemetic priest came to visit, and we went to the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and also simply spent time together talking about our practices. On Sunday, after the grocery shopping, I usually make offerings to my Beloveds, the God of the Year (currently Djehuty), [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lot of yard work this weekend, since the weather was cooperating. Actually, the weather has been quite cooperative in general over the last week or so: rain when I need to be indoors working on a freelance assignment, sun when it&#8217;s time to work outside. (And rain again when I&#8217;ve worked more than enough [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago, in the throes of one of my periodic attacks of &#8220;What should I do with my life?!&#8221; I was sitting before Amun-Ra&#8217;s shrine. And I asked Him, &#8220;What is ma&#8217;at?&#8221; (i.e., what would be the right path for me to follow).
Go and ask your Mother, He said, adding, almost as an afterthought, [...]]]></description>

Part of it is that I tend to experience Bast in an extremely riparian aspect. She&#8217;s not only the Lady of Fire [...]]]></description>
