Nooormally I put all the epag beads directly to the God of the Year's statue, and dress my Wepwawet statues appropriately (dark blue is this year's color), but two things happened: 1) I had to buy a proper statue for Nefertem, so that's still not here yet, and 2) I went to make my bead dressings and -did not have the beads I thought I did-.

So tomorrow, a trip to the craft store.

The fun thing about the Kemetic #NewYear is that it happens not at midnight, but at dawn, so you can't just pass off a quick "3-2-1- Happy New Year" at 12am and go to bed, no no... RA or bust, bitches. 🤣

(no one has to stay up all night to be clear, but some people do -- I doubt I will be one of them with my level of perpetual tiredness)

We're almost there, and as usual PST is one of the loneliest timezones headed into the New Year, be that Kemetic, or secular.

Epag day 5: Happy Birthday, Nebt-het!

This is the final day of heriu-ronpet. Tomorrow is Wep Ronpet, the New Year, the echos and repetition of the first creation, the birth and rising of Ra on the horizon.

A thousand of everything that is good, to Netjer, and to each and every one of you.

----------

She, Nebt-het, Who gives us triumph, Herald our victory!
The East wind meets the West, You O Divine Sister.
Lift Ra to Nut once more and let the darkness pass.
Midwife to life, we also mourn the fallen here
though death is not eternal.
Care for our agony and pain as if Your own,
O Mistress of the House lead us to contemplation.
We call to You to lift the veil, show that which moonlight hides,
refresh us at the Oasis between the desert and the hill.
She Who saves the Gods and protects the land,
with perfect love and perfect sight,
we praise You, offer to You every thing that’s good,
appease the flame and scorching breath
that we may rest in friendship and nobility.
Now and at our hour of end of life,
bring beer and grain and wine and endless meat,
we bend the back to You in great lament,
You grasp our hand, transform our sorrow into praise:
“Each moment is a choice, a gift, which does not change the past
but builds upon it. Each brick, each step, cannot be
for not the ones which came before.”
You before the dawn of the First Day, we call You down,
with us now and to the break of dawn.

Epag Day 4: Happy birthday Aset!

-----------

Beautiful Aset, Lady of Joy, Rejoicing in Ma'at.
She Who births the year ahead, rise up as Sopdet in the sky
and shine on the horizon.
We stand upon the outcrop; vast the waters flow,
She comes to shore and brings the Nile, creates the wind,
the wind cries back: "This grief that's down within the earth,
this mourning deep in You, and you,
it is released, and cooled, and swept away."
Wash away my fear, Protectress of all
Who lights the sky and splits the way for the Barque.
Make magic here, ebullience abound,
bring forth delight we meet with song and praise;
You who feeds the child and brings the Breath of Life,
yet many knives lay wait for those who harm.
Hear our sistra, know our hearts,
We speak our words to You that they are whole and true.
You the Power that makes Kings,
Who sets the sun disk at the sullen sky,
Your focus tasks us Zep Tepi ahead
we kneel before You now and request Your favor.

When I first met You and learned You are actually there, it was love at first sight. I knew immediately that no other Higher Power would ever take Your place in my heart. Nearly 26 years later, our bond is stronger now than ever.

You opened my eyes, You opened my mouth to speak. You filled my mouth with good, strong words of power. You straightened my spine, and You always rooted for me, even during the times when no one else had my back.

You taught me to be a husband to the widow and a father to the orphan. You helped me be kind to others, even when I am without hope. You have brought so many wonderful people into my life, each of whom I cherish. And You taught me that the single greatest magic word in any language is always "NO."

Happy Nativity my Lord, my Eternal Source, my Holy Outlaw. I will stand by You in this world and the next. I will offer You praises until the end of my days and beyond. I love You and worship You, and I hope and I pray that I make You proud somehow.

Epag Day 3: Happy birthday Set!

-----------

O Set, Rebel coming in the night.
Bones of iron before Whom the sky does shake,
Who sends the storm above.
They say “He Who doesn’t care about the law”,
yet righteous swords do glint and arrows fly.
He Who fells isfet, poised atop the Barque of Ra,
outstretched hands fend off A/p/e/p upon the hour.
Heru takes the Shield and You the Sword, ensure our victory!
That which torn apart can fight as One against a common goal.
Abhorrent or Beloved, each in its stride,
a time for all, a place to rest, a day to be.
And be this day indeed, take up the mantle,
You of Thunderous Sky and Shifting Sand.
Be sharp as flint and swift as bird,
stealth of fish yet strong as raging bull.
He Who loves the fight, Who holds his head on high,
Who welcomes dissonance abroad yet beats the drum
compelling, every sound yields on His might.
I stand with You, Lord of Blades and Power,
my bonds undone, I will not bow to evil.

Epag Day 2: Happy Birthday to Heru-wer (Horus the elder)!

-----------

He Who comes to those who call, I call to You now.
O Strong One, Lord of Force and Strength,
Who makes the enemies destroyed, lead us forth.
Stand with us against the coming storm, that we are not defeated.
Rise up! You Whose arrows cannot fail,
with Ma'at's shield and just of voice, Your power is foretold.
As I sink down, down below the Nile
I ask of You Whose eyes are sun and moon
to lift me up, dusk to dawn, that I may know Your enemies and not my own.
You Whose spear is straight, Whose sight is clear and true,
I follow You with courage running deep.
Bring me to divides I dared not cross,
and at the bridge, the path Wepwawet rends,
we meet uniting both the East and West horizons here.
"Fight side-by-side," together we are more than sums apart,
we triumph in Your shadow and Your light,
we seize this day, we claim it as our own.
We will not falter, nor will we fear,
we call to You, O Heru-wer, Great of Gods
Protect us where Your feet have trod,
and where we're yet to know.

Epag day 1: Happy Birthday Wesir! (Osiris)

---------

He Who is above, and below.
Who comes forth from the horizon to create the heavens themselves,
Whose beauty fills the Earth at our feet.
The stars come from You,
the Blessed Dead shine forth.
Heritage of the land, Ruler of the two horizons,
Bless my comings and my goings
from each first light to the final journey West.
Ground me to the dirt as I tread,
black as pitch, cool like melted ice,
but lift me up to soar amongst the greatest heights
that I may know the bounds of Your Kingdom.
Bestow upon me Your grief
that I may know separation, sacrifice, and reconciliation,
to appreciate what came before
and welcome steps to come with an embrace.
He Who glides upon the lake like air,
and lifts the gentle birds upon His back,
refresh my face Yourself
so that I look upon this world with eyes anew.

It's almost time for Egyptian New Year! Time to celebrate! 😀

For the holiday, my full discography (all 26 releases so far!) will be available on Bandcamp for the dirt cheap discount price of $10.80 (i.e., that's 80% off the full price). Visit https://gbmarian.bandcamp.com/ if you're interested! This offer will last at least until September 2023, after Wep Ronpet is done.

Additionally, my music is also available for streaming, purchasing and downloading on Amazon, Apple iTunes, Spotify, and various other digital music platforms; Bandcamp is just the best place to go for the best deal on purchasing.

I like it that some of us celebrate #NewYear on different days. Today is when I celebrate it. So I'd like to wish you all life, health and prosperity for the coming year. 😃
