Before Augusts claim Egypt and begin with his Roman empire, we walk on 13th path 13th months of cycle, the 13th Heaven and sacred time of Mesoamerican culture, In Kabbalah it's number of unity, the divine abundance of Tera in Sikh history while by native America traditions it's sacred turtles shell. The question is when and why it became bad omen especially on Friday? Back in Norse myth when God Baldur died...  He was son of God Odin and Goddess Frigg based on older Old Norse poetry, the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda contain numerous references to the death of Baldr as both a great tragedy to the Æsir and a harbinger of Ragnarök. Before his death Baldur has terrifying dreams of his death, his mother, Frigg, traveled across the nine worlds and made every living and inanimate thing swear an oath never to harm him.  Meanwhile Loki sensed an opportunity for mischief so he went to the blind god Höðr after asking goddess Frigg what left didn't swore, and she answered it's mi...

Tale of Life

O nce upon a time,        In a distant kingdom, one left in ruins by the corruption and heresy that had swept across it. A son was born to the king. Wishing for his son to avoid the same path he himself had taken, the king sent the prince far away, so that he might forge his own understanding through his own life experiences.  The prince grew up accompanied by a dog; his loyal constant companion. In his youth, he would act impulsively like a Fool , never looking back or considering the consequences of his deeds.  One day, while wandering through the forest, he encountered a Magician who wielded the four elements; a wand which is the fire element, while the water element is in a cup, a sword as air element and a coin as Earth. Intrigued, the prince asked the magician to teach him the principle: "As above, so below." The prince became his student and gained new wisdom. Yet, prince still yearning for further knowledge, the Magician directed him to a temple....

Samhain

Persephone just went to the underworld and Demeter sad rains over the Earth. Harvest season is over, it's a cold, windy  night. Men sit outside their homes wearing scary masks around bonfires while women honor their ancestors with altars and prepare feasts. On their doorsteps, they place pumpkins and turnip for protection from wandering Jack. It's time when the border between the living and the dead is thin. Welcome to Samhain Eve...

Flooding of the Nile

  H ail to you, Hapi, Sprung from earth,   Come to nourish Egypt!   Of secret ways,   A darkness by day,   To whom his followers sing!   Who floods the fields that Ra has made,   To nourish all who thirst;   Lets drink the waterless desert, His dew descending from the sky. The Nile flood was significant to the ancient Egyptians because of its close connection to the ancient Egyptian creation myth. Therefore, Egyptians celebrated it on August 15th for two weeks.  The Nile River was the primary source of life for the Egyptians after the ancient Egyptians descended upon its banks. It became a source of goodness, silt and water, leading to the flourishing of agriculture and the country's wealth through the fertility of the land.  This led to Egypt being called Kemet, meaning "black land," due to the fertility of its soil. The Egyptians sanctified the Nile, appreciating its gifts. The Nile was named Ar or Aur, meaning "black," a reference to ...

Egyptians aren't Black

Months ago, there was an important issue which is black lives matter. The world joined hands to give them their rights to live because they are human beings. And I still call it out Black lives matter but what I'll talk about is not to all the black because a lot stand with us in this. My next words do not count as racism, and if you count a skin color as racism, then you're racist. I’m a student at the Department of Greek and Roman Archeology, First thing I learned in lectures is ancient Egypt's name is Kemet; Kemet, kmt or km.t means "black lands” Which is accustomed to the lands of the Nile, the fertile soil, and not the color of skin or race. The Twenty-fifth Dynasty, which is the only black family that ruled Egypt, "the kings of Kush," but they were not from the country or its people, they were occupiers who invaded the country. Until the twenty-sixth family came, This dynasty traced its origins to the Twenty-fourth Dynasty. Psamtik I was probably a desc...
