On Set and Storms

“That's something every islander knows—there's always going to be another hurricane. Another storm. Everything buried will surface again, and everything you thought would last forever will come down eventually. But you rebuild. You dredge. You keep moving, keep adding new. That's how we go on living.”

– Roseanna M. White - “Yesterday's Tides”

“You can dance in the storm. Don't wait for the rain to be over before because it might take too long. You can can do it now. Wherever you are, right now, you can start, right now; this very moment.”

– Israelmore Ayivor

I grew up in South Texas where we were used to hurricanes. To this day, one of the most magical things I’ve ever experienced is standing outside when the eye has passed over me. There is such raw power and majesty to storms. They are terrifying and destructive but can impart great wisdom. As a Kemetic, I find myself closer to Set during storms and actively attempt to listen. Hurricane Harvey was one of the most terrible to hit the Coastal Bend in decades. I prayed to Set in the eye of that storm, before we lost power and I learned what had happened to Houston. I stood outside with arms outstretched, honoring His Sekhem and the Majesty of His natural domain. Suddenly a gust of wind blew an updraft beneath me. I felt validated and listened to. I went back inside and we lost power soon after. The Texas grid didn't get restored for another eight days. I felt Set’s presence in the storm and in the aftermath, destructive and harsh… but encouraging. “You will survive this. You have survived much worse with far less at your disposal.” When I would talk about hurricanes this way people would quickly become upset. They fail to see how a hurricane can be anything but terrible and I beg to differ. Storms disrupt our lives but teach us that we can rebuild. In the moment of impact, are we happy with the destruction? Absolutely not. Loss teaches us what we are capable of living with, as well as what we can live without. Storms are the immune system of the Earth, their purpose being to restore equilibrium on a large scale. Set is the storm that rends the dead bark and branches off of the Holy Sycamore. He does the same for us. By stripping away the excessive and superfluous, Set brings us closer to our inner strength and core values. I’ve often heard Set being associated with the ego but, in my experience, He takes a very active part in facilitating ego death during the Dark Night of the Soul. I’ve experienced this several times and I can safely say when all other guides have stepped away, I am still blanketed in Set’s Presence. He stands nearby, as a silent but distant sentinel. His Presence is enough to let me know I will be okay. Storms have a way of mirroring the Shadow archetype, forcing us to face our demons. We might not know when they will begin or end, but we do know that they are temporary. That disruption is sometimes exactly what we need and the more we fight it, the more we resist the growth that might lead us to the best chapter in life we’ve ever had. Experience has shown me that we can survive far more than we give ourselves credit for. Sometimes you have to Embrace Life.

Dua Set!

Granodiorite Statue of the goddess Sekhmet

Like the combative fire spitting goddess the king vanquished Egypt’s enemies. Through her fire Sekhmet was associated with the royal uraeus cobra and the eye of the sun god Re. As the city of Thebes gained power, the priests gave Mut, consort of the God Amun, greater prominence so she was merged with Sekhmet. The two columns of hieroglyphs on either side of the legs of the goddess indicate that the statue was reused during the reign of king Shoshenq I (943-923 BC) of the 22nd Dynasty. It seems to have been uninscribed until then, as the surface does not show any trace of recarving. New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, reign of Amenhotep III, ca. 1391-1353 BC. From temple of Amenhotep III (reused in the temple of Mut) at Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum of Turin. Cat. 252

"You can hear my voice in the Storm.

You can feel my touch in the Wind.

You can taste my lust for life in the Waves.

Desert is not the barren land you think it is. It's alive and pulsing, something not many can see. Just as the Sea, you have to dive under the surface to find its true essence.

But are you willing to?

Are you willing to look me in the eyes and stay still, as I barren my teeth and stare through your soul, ready to devour you?

Or would you rather run away once again, frightened and unchanged?

You chose to stay. Wise choice.

I will offer you shelter in my Oasis.

I will guard you against all that is evil.

I will teach you unprecedented defiance.

I will show you unbearable horrors.

I will tell you unfathomable truths.

And know this: if your Path is meant to be a path of service, you'll serve us, somehow."

"Nurture yourself, Little One. Do not stifle your growth for the sake of conforming to others thoughts and opinions. Do not hold onto others for strength and security. You are not meant to be alone, that is true. However, you are also not meant to be consumable, torn apart for the ease of other's sensitivities or feelings. You are whole. You are your own."

This is beyond powerful, and so so needed. Thank you so much @divinecoyote for sharing! 🌩️

My Father is immense, inconceivable to the human mind. He stands over everything: life and death, calm and chaos, creation and destruction, the beginning and the end.

He is not just a storm or chaos, not just rage and anger and pain. He is the warmth received from others, the slow lapping of water within an oasis, the brief kiss on your cheek from the wind.

I asked for His help last night, and found myself floating in the middle of a small lake. Above me stretched Nut, stars twinkling in Her eyes. Surrounding me was a dense outpouring of foliage, swaying in a gentle breeze.

He came to me then, laying a hand above my heart. I could physically feel the warmth radiating from His hand and slowly encasing me. In my mind I could see my heart surrounded by soft and moist soil. It sank and from the remains sprouts began to form.

"Nurture yourself, Little One. Do not stifle your growth for the sake of conforming to others thoughts and opinions. Do not hold onto others for strength and security. You are not meant to be alone, that is true. However, you are also not meant to be consumable, torn apart for the ease of other's sensitivities or feelings. You are whole. You are your own."

This is so powerful! Really gives you Sekhmet's vibes! ❤️‍🔥

Hymn to Sēt-Typhōn

O Sēt-Typhōn you who created everything with your thunderous voice, you who did first control Gods' wrath, you who hold royal scepter over the heavens, you who are midpoint of the stars above, you who are the Power of Waters, Bringer of winds and storms, who flash through the night, you who shake the rocks, who makes the walls quake, you who did walk across unquenched, crackling fire Sēt-Typhōn, you are the dreaded sovereing over the firmament, you who are fearful, awesome, threatening, obscure and irresistable, hater of the wicked, Sēt-Typhōn, you of the great dýnamis who hold sovereingty over the Moirai, Great God, almighty one, praised be you who dwell in Ombos, generations after generations.

Sekhmet, She who slays the enemies of Amun-Re

I request your vigor and zeal as I confront my difficulties that I've been faced with.

If my voice trembles, shift it into a mighty roar.

If my feet shake, steady them so I shall stand tall and proud.

May your belly be filled with the blood of your enemies, great lady of war.

And may I overcome this obstacle with fiery dynamism and unshatterable courage.

Dua Sekhmet!

question 4 kemetics that know more about this than me. did set like Literally sexually assault horus or is that more of like a metaphor or something bc, and this may be from me spending so much time in fandom, the fact that people worship Set as much as they do when that myth exists lowkey confuses me, im not here to judge anybody for worshiping their deity but can someone like, educate me more about set in terms of him and horus and if that myth is supposed to be taken literally?

Dua to you great lord of storms!

I sing the praises of he who protects Ra in his barque!

I love your poetry! Could I request one for Amun please?

O' Amun,

King of the Gods,

Your breath is the whispers on the wind,

your radiance is the rays of the sun.

You fill every aspect of our world,

instilling all with life.

Your breath fills my nostrils,

and my ka is strengthened,

readying me to face another day.

Dua Amun!
