In the wake of last weekend&#8217;s nor&#8217;easter, suddenly the daffodils have sprung up! It&#8217;ll be a while yet until they bloom, but not too much longer. And yesterday as I was out walking at lunchtime, there was the most amazing fragrance by the corner of the library. It stopped me right in my tracks and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent the weekend hosting a Bast festival get-together for the House of Netjer&#8217;s Northeast region, so I wasn&#8217;t able to post for a couple of days. Time to catch up&#8230;.
Day 4: The joy of sitting in the darkened shrine room with my brothers and sisters in the faith, talking quietly together about our gods [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s joy was two-fold, relating to preparations for this weekend&#8217;s festival: the feeling of clearing out old magazines that have been collecting for months, lightening the burden of clutter and letting me breathe more freely; and the discovery that it is, in fact, extremely easy to make your own candies with chocolate molds. Now I&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[From today, the new moon, through the Feast of Bast Guards the Two Lands on December 25, I'll be doing posts for Ten Days of Joy. This was an exercise for the Shemsu and Remetj of the House of Netjer, a couple of years back, which honored Bast by sharing with each other daily that [...]]]></description>

And as I walked, I began to pray to Heru-hekenu: &#8220;May You lift me up. May You lift me [...]]]></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).
