Note : Toward the end of this post, we're going to get to see Kheru go off on a tangent about another of his favorite obsessions, the True Name of Sekhmet, which you've already seen our response to. For the record, as you can easily see by checking the article linked to, Kheru has read into that article comments that are not there to be found. This would not be the last time he would be guilty of doing so.

Em Hotep All! [henu]

Well, it would seem that there are a majority of you who speak with your Parents.

There's also another thing which I have to ponder: and that is that, if Sekhmet is a Name of Netjer, and Bast is a name of Netjer, then if I have a conversation with Bast or Sekhmet they both come from Netjer....so the conversations are truly from One Source? Here are two things that I thought I would share, too...I don't know how many of you read this article but it is exactly what made me approach Hemet [AUS] while incarcerated and speak to Her Holiness about Kemetic Orthodoxy...

"The Greeks were the first Western culture to anthropomorphize deities to such extent that they seem caricatures of human beings. Some people have taken this idea to extremes, in two pronouncements that would be heresy to the Kemetic: either that Deity is completely subject to human interpretation since we "invent" it; or that Deity can be completely denied outside of the self in a sort of nihilist egotism. To attempt a "new" Kemetic religion on the basis that because culture has changed since Kemet, so has Netjer, or to deny that the faith can be reconstructed at all but only metamorphosed into something new or superimposed on a modern system shows a misunderstanding of the central tenets of Kemetic faithand is where the dividing line can be drawn between caretakers of the ancient faith and syncretists in the "Hermetic" tradition of later ages."

-- Quoted from "Repeating Births" article in Obsidian Magazine, Issue No. 4, http://obsidianmagazine.com/Pages/repeatingbirths.html. In this article Hemet [AUS] also discusses how Netjer wants us to conversate with It and use the Proper Names....

You'll never see a Catholic Priest calling Padre Piel "Father of the Wrapped Hands" or "Dushebtihenibuti"....
Senebty!
