Egyptian wicca

[i_am_serenity16]

Ok I'm a solitary eclectic wiccan but I've become increasingly interested in egyptian wicca because of the dieties I worship are egyptian and I was looking to find out more about egyptian wicca to see if maybe a change in path would be right for me. I've looked for websites with infor but haven't found any that tell me anything useful. Can anyone out there help me out with either some info or a site or two? Thanks a bunch .

There is no such thing as "Egyption Wicca" as Wicca did not exist back then. There however is Egyption Paganism which died out around 600 AD so reconstructing it is quite hard as a lot of the sacred texts have been destroyed by Muslims living in that area over the centuries.

hmmm... makes sense but I've heard of egyptian wicca on other sites and even in a few threads here, so maybe it's more wiccan with egyptian dieties sort of thing...

More than likely, but I don't see why you can't incorporate the two-

As I understand it there are all forms of paganism and wiccan . The main devideing point being the wiccan rede and other such teachings. If you worship Egpytion deities, but keep with other wiccan teachings then yes you would be an Egpytian wiccan. The first thing you need to do is find out about their holidays so that you can get in tune with their weel of the year. Try to find others in your area interseted, or others here who are into Egpyt. I once had a girlfreind who was into Egpytian mythos. It works out fine with wicca from what I can tell.

Look for Ellen Cannon Reed's book "Circle of Isis." It's a Wiccan denomination that focuses exclusively on Egyptian deities and myths.

(Wicca is flexible enough that it's very possible to focus on one particular myth system or culture -- being Wiccan does not mean you have to focus on Celtic myths for instance. Gerald Gardner certainly didn't!)

Thanks everyone!

There's a *huge* thread on it somewhere in this forum, try doing a search for Egyptian Wicca. You might also want to read the thread on Kemetic Orthodoxy/House of Netjer, because there's some interesting stuff in there. I also suggest checking out the House of Netjer forums because the people there are really nice and willing to help, even if you're not KO.

Have fun Who do you worship, if you don't mind my asking? Having specific Names makes it a lot easier to find links for you

Thanks. Isis and Osiris are who I work with most of the time but I also work with Annubis and Horus at times.

I found both of the threads:

Egyptian Wicca

Kemetic Orthodoxy/House of Netjer

Aset sites:

www.per-aset.org

http://www.philae.nu/akhet/aset.html

http://members.aol.com/sataset/

There's also a debate in the Gods and Goddesses forum about Aset/Isis, you might want to check that out.

http://www.wesir.org/ is the only comprehensive site I can ever seem to find on Wesir. And that says that's going through reorganization

ah, http://www.wesir.org/wesir/home.htm works, so you could use that.

Yinepu - http://yinepu.homestead.com/

http://senytmenu.org/Main.htm (has information on Yinepu/Wepwawet somewhere down the page)

and here's a thread I came across while searching for information for you, that might be useful:

http://www.beliefnet.com/boards/mess...ssionID=126157

Which Heru are you talking about? The son of Aset, right?

http://www.kemet.org/glossary/heru-sa-aset.html

http://www.netconstructions.com/horus/ seems to be devoted to the Herus in general, not any specific one (there's Heru-sa-Aset/Heru son of Aset, Heru'ur/Heru the Elder, and one or two more I think but their names slip my memory at the moment).

http://touregypt.net/magazine/godsofancientegypt.htm TourEgypt is always good for general(sometimes detailed) info as well

Hope I was of some help!
