Kemet is rife with creator Gods, and we, their children, are creators too. Our words take on life, the breath of our mouths as we speak or sing or laugh; our hands with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I&#8217;m being fairly active here (nekhtet!), I figured I&#8217;d post an update on some of my activity elsewhere: I hadn&#8217;t gotten around to saying so here, but I did get reconfirmed as a W&#8217;ab priest, and I&#8217;ve been back in service since the beginning of this (secular) year. So my shrine log, The Book [...]]]></description>

Although the beginning of February was generally still cold and wintery, it was the point at which I could always see the lengthening of the days, the hint of a shift in the wind, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was all set to write about baths for my second B entry. Between the purity requirements for my daily rite, the Seven Arrows of Sekhmet baths at Retreat, and experiences of ritual bathing in general, I figured I would have plenty to say. But then, as I was sitting in shrine the other day [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I debated whether I should do a PBP post on Bast. For one thing, this blog is already largely about my relationship with Her and my experiences as Her priest. For another, Bast is so multifaceted for me that I could probably write a whole book just on Her. But since She is so central [...]]]></description>

For me, He embodies the process of creation itself &#8212; whether the creation of a world, or a single being, or a work of art. He is the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning, sitting in shrine with Bast, I saw an image of a small tree with gnarled, twisting branches, deep, velvety-brown bark, and clusters of large, lovely white flowers. And I heard, in that soft inner voice, Would you cut the tree down just because it doesn&#8217;t grow the way you want it to? I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I walked down to the stream at the nearby nature preserve, and I was stunned to see how much it had changed since I&#8217;d last been there, how its course had shifted. A great, deep bay was carved out of the high bank, a new S-curve had been created, trees had fallen, and a [...]]]></description>
