Festivals

On the afternoon of August 30th, 2013, I stepped off the train in Joliet, Illinois, the home of Tawy House -- the House of Netjer’s main temple -- and the city in which approximately twenty-five members of the faith would celebrate the Kemetic New Year in just four days time. Daryt and Meza were there to greet me at the station, offering welcoming hugs and answering my many questions on our drive back to the retreat hotel.

On July 2, 2012, eleven Northeast-region members of the House of Netjer (and one friend) came together for a festival gathering for Aset Luminous at my house in north-central New Jersey (a.k.a. The Eye of Ra Watches over Them Shrine). After snacks and the first round of socializing, we settled in to perform a heka prayer ritual for Hemet and her family, asking for Aset's blessing on them during a difficult time. The ritual, featuring libations, bell ringing, and a card signed with well-wishes, was deeply powerful and moving.
