Shot glasses on the shrine!
Okay, that was very clickbaity. (I couldn’t resist.) But, well, check it out… My shrine, with statues of Aset and Sekhmet. Oil burner: Ma’at. (Credit: Louise Pare-Lobinske) This all started with the realization one day that since, very frequently, I do rite to multiple gods at ocne, maybe those gods would like their own separate drinking vessels. But the space on my shrine is limited. What to…

I’m leading a UU service on Kemeticism. Image via Pixabay. Hi, guys. Sorry I’ve been away – been doing things like having surgery on my driving foot, getting dumped off one of my meds, finding out we have a diabetic cat…It’s been a bit crazy. And because I thought I needed more crazy, I volunteered to lead a UU service on August 6th. Why did I do this? Well, our interim minister is leaving…

If I could help, I would. Instead I am reblogging. Please consider helping. Thanks.
My name is Ina and I have a little cat who's name is Liz. She was a stray cat I found on the street. I was so sorry for the poor little one because she was so small and definitely abused.
At first she was extremely shy and afraid but despite everything she kept following me. So I just had to take her with me. I had to bring her to the veterinary to check her. They told me she was in a bad condition. For example her ribs were in a bad condition (seems like people kicked her....), she missed two teeths, her kidneys don't work normal and seems like she doesn't hear very good (they kept pulling things out of her ears like dirt or sth like it, it wasn't recognizable).
I got her vaccinated and treated but she still has a lot of problems. The good thing is that I found a good vet who is willing to help her but despite everything she has to undergo surgery. He offered to let me pay less than normal but it will still cost 800€. For me that's still too much (normally it would cost over 2000€).
if you are wondering I go to work but I don't earn enough to collect money for her. It is enough for me and her for everyday living but that's it. Also I had a rough past too. My parents were both alcoholics and did drugs. They abused me, beat me up daily sometimes, yelled at me, told me how worthless I am and much more. But here I am now, alone without family, no friends but I have my little Liz. Believe me at the moment I do everything for her. I don't care about my situation, her life is more important. Also I am allergic to cats, I'm sneezing the whole day but like I said, she is more important than everything.
So I here I am, begging other people for donations for her cause I'm too desperate to think of anything elese. I'd be more then grateful if there are people who are willing to help my lovely kittie.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart to everyone!!!!!
Please reblog this post even that would be a massive help.

Doing the Akhu Rite for my mother
My mother, Eileen Pare. May 29-1943-May 11, 2020
I’ve continued doing Devo’s Making Ma’at rites into this year (and really have no intention of stopping, unless the world becomes miraculously better). Two days ago, I did the Akhu Rite for my mother for the first time.
Now, technically, I suppose I cheated. I think this rite is supposed to be used for those bas who have become akhu – in…

Image by Pexels from Pixabay. Enhancement by me in Luminar 4 and Paint Shop Pro 7. I’ve had a rough time with this one lately. Anyone else? I don’t know if it’s the “obsessive thoughts” part of obsessive-compulsive disorder or the fact that I’m still kind of a recovering Catholic, even though I’ve partly returned to that faith, but either way, I am just haunted by guilt. Maybe the word…

A prayer to Aset in the Unyear 2020
In my locality, the Unyear started on Saturday, but I have been singularly unmotivated this year to do anything for it. I did rite on Wesir’s Day (Saturday) and that’s about it. But I did find the energy to write this prayer to my patron, on Her birthday.

A Kemetic and an atheist mourned a Catholic…
Sounds like the setup to a bad joke, doesn’t it? “A Kemetic, an atheist and a Catholic walked into a bar…” (Even my saying that is a bad cliché. But I couldn’t resist, sorry.) Robert Pare, Jr. My dad. My dad died on July 27. He was a devout Catholic. The funeral was on August 5. It’s been rough. Losing my mother last year, only 14 months earlier, and now losing my father…yeah, it’s not been…

The real reason for the season
We’re between Hanukkah and Christmas, so you know what that means: It’s time for my annual holiday message. Reblogged from a 2016 post: I was doing rite to Hathor, the Lady of Love, today (i.e. December 16), and something came to me. Maybe it isn’t earth-shattering, but I wanted to share it with you guys. Let’s not lose sight of this during the holiday season. Whether you think the reason for…

A dose of realism for Earth Day
Hi, guys. I had given some thought to a post talking about Geb, the earth god, and Ma’at on Earth Day – it does happen to be the New Moon today, and I had promised to carry on the “Making Ma’at” tradition into this year, so I was going to do rite, and maybe post about it…and then something happened, something that I’m not ready to write about specifically. So let me just post a poem of mine from…

I’m 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 that…
