"A problem for the theist"
Iβm going to go somewhere a little risky in this one. This is just stuff to think about. Screenshot of episode 28.12 of The Atheist Experience, which aired on YouTube March 24, 2024. I was watching The Atheist Experience with my husband a few weeks ago. (Okay, I was tuning in and out because my interest waxed and waned.) And my brain caught on a phrase that, when I went back and watched thatβ¦

Two anniversaries
I didnβt expect them to be back to back. My shrine as it would have looked on January 20, 2024, when I was celebrating the anniversary of my encounter with Sekhmet. My shrine as it would have looked on January 23, 2024, when I was celebrating the 18th anniversary of my conversion to Kemeticism. January is a big month for me. I had my long, dark night of the soul, which resulted in Aset, Hathorβ¦

Uhh art summary
Although not according to the ancient Egyptian calendar, we have a new year! Words cannot describe how glad I am that I, and everyone who reads this, survived it. I don't want to quote the president, but it (the year) was really difficult. Anyway...
HAPPY NEW YEAR! πΌ
It's the end of the year, with Christmas and New Year's celebrations. Did you know that the ancient Egyptians already had the notion of 12 months in the year and the celebration of the New Year? This makes me wonder what the gods were doing at these times. After all, regardless of the Christian meaning they forced on this date (since it was a pagan date before), it's a time for gatherings
It's Horus' birthday, so he clearly spends the whole day talking about it and wanting to receive gifts. Unfortunately for him, he's the typical case of people who only get one gift for Christmas and their birthday
Hathor is definitely organizing a huge family dinner and setting up a shiny Christmas tree in the middle of the palace. She lets Ihy put up the Christmas star
Imseti and Hapi definitely still think Santa Claus exists
Seth didn't want to go, but since he was forced, he's going to make it everyone's problem and bring the silliest arguments to the table. Unfortunately, no one is immune to Seth's annoyance, so they end up arguing a lot all night long
Isis just wanted an excuse to get the family together and celebrate, but half of the family hates each other and the other half is so distant that it's hard to find them. She spent most of the year getting them together for this party, so Isis definitely brought a lot of good food and several gifts for the ones she really loves
Thoth and Ma'at show up for two minutes to wish Horus a happy Christmas/birthday and then disappear back to their work
Anubis didn't want to be there and he really isn't. He stayed for the first half hour, saw the first fight and then sneaked out. He won't be seen again until January
Nephthys loves family gatherings and is the one who brings albums and takes lots of pictures
Sekhmet and Sobek keep betting on who can set off the most fireworks and have already burned a few things in the process
Osiris is wearing his beloved custom sweaters for Christmas. He makes Isis and Horus wear them too. And he is definitely the uncle who makes the stupid jokes at Christmas dinner, sorry but I don't make the rules
Gebe is the one who makes the silly Christmas jokes
Serket keeps changing the song every five seconds because nothing pleases her, ignoring the others' complaints by skipping songs they like
Wadjet and Tawaret are trying to keep the children busy so they don't turn the palace upside down, but they keep getting distracted by talking and the cute decorations in the house
Ptah and Khnum are just in the corner, enjoying the few snippets of music they can hear while they talk about life. There might be a lot of crying in a few minutes
Kebechet really wanted to stay awake and see in the New Year with her parents, but she fell asleep in a few minutes and didn't wake up even with the noisy family
Anput gives the best gifts for Secret Santa and New Year's Eve, but she always ends up getting things like socks and picture frames
On New Year's, it must be a different kind of gathering. Everyone gathers at the Pharaoh's (Horus) palace and there are drinking competitions, lots of beautiful fireworks and dancing. Everyone looks forward to the flooding of the Nile as the main attraction of the night and it is generally a very good time of year. I wonder if there would be as much chaos, but I can definitely imagine Ra making all the silly "I'll do it next year" jokes.
I really love the end of the year, I hope everyone is having a great holiday!
