Causative form

The only languages I have found with causative forms similar to medu netcher are the bantu. The difference is the placement, in modern bantu languages the causative is a suffix like -sha, -isa, -za while in written medu netcher the causative -s is a prefix. Let me know what you think?
Thoughts on Neith

Similar to the netcher Sutekh being synchronized with the greek titan Typhon, Neith has been paired with the greek goddesses Athena and Artemis. I think the ancient Kemites had a deeper understanding that was hard for those outside of their worldview to interpret. The more I delved into the primary sources and the medu netcher…
Astrological/astronomical Imagery in Kemetic Context

The temple of Dendera is where one of the oldest representations of the zodiac including the sun, moon and five classical planets of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn along with the signs Aries through Pisces was found.

12 years later – The decline

The illusions and delusions are slowly fading but now we will have to account for our complicity. Since 2014 the challenges we face have been made clear and we have collectively fallen short.

Telling time the Ancient Egyptian way part 1

What is recognized as astrology today was not seen as separate from astronomy in the times of the ancient Egyptians. The Coptic calendar follows the ancient Egyptian calendar in name but was fixed to the Julian calendar of roman times. It would be more helpful to note the similarities of the Ancient Egyptian calendar to…
As one cycle comes to a close, we prepare for the new.

This current cycle has been rough. Armed conflicts have intensified, and we are continuously bombarded with information that obscures the truth. The rise of social media and all the convenience apps have promoted a way of being that trap us in an abstract and projecting way of thinking. It cuts us off from the knowing…
Relationships in Kemet

The stories the ancients told were allegories based on concrete meaning and observations that build on knowledge from an Africana system of understanding. This holistic approach and worldview is what allowed me to see Wsir as Heru’s uncle and Djehuty as Heru’s baba.
Family relationships in ancient Kemet

My study of non western cultures has always allowed me to see the flaws in the modern nuclear family construct. In many cultures there are no words that makes a distinct between your siblings and cousins, or your parents, uncles and aunts. The words used to mark relationships are based on generation or age. I…
