hi everyone! about a month ago i had a very clear dream about anpu/anubis when i didnt even know who he was/what deity work is. ive been doing research on him and finally made his own altar! i wanted to share it and ask if anyone can help a baby “whatever i am” out and point me in the right direction on where to go next…some background is that i grew up in a non-strict christian household and have been agnostic for about 8 years. also ive been working more in depth with my hoodoo/ancestral work the last couple of months (but i would say ive been an unintentional hoodoo practitioner my whole life due to my familial practices). i think i should also note my dream also had apollo in it, so im currently working with 2 pantheons :)

For those who don’t know: There’s a game called Romance Club, which contains a lot of visual novels in various genres written by different authors, if you have never played it you can google it. So one of the novels is called “Song of the Crimson Nile”, it’s about Ancient Egypt. Even though, most of the characters are imaginary, Netjeru are often mentioned and specifically Seth and Anubis play a big role in this story and you can even have a romantic(and sexual) relationship them. Most of the times they are portrayed in human form, yet real forms were also shown a few times, as you can see on the pictures.

I’m curious, what are your opinions about this? Do you think it’s disrespectful to depict Netjeru as main character’s love interest and specifically include a lot of sexual scenes in it? And what are your thoughts on their appearances?

In my personal opinion, I don’t think they are portrayed very bad compared to that Ennead manhwa for example💀 even though obviously they are heavily “out of character”, but definitely not in the worst way possible. And talking about their appearances, personally I really like Set’s features, I could imagine him having such face as a human, but what bothers me is his skin colour, I think he should definitely be darker. Anubis doesn’t look bad to me, yet something about his appearance is weird…I cannot point anything specific, but something is off. What do you think?

I want to start working more seriously with Sekhmet and Bast but I don’t really know where or how to start. I keep reading comments online how Sekhmet appeared to a lot of people, but she has not appeared to me. Does anyone have any tips on how to start practicing more devoutly (for lack of a better word) in general. This is new to me and I don’t really share this with anyone in my close circle. Any help is very much appreciated!

I'll get my results in a few days and this exam was super important since I'll start my job if I clear the exam. I did my best and let's see how it goes. I requested Lady Aset to be with me with whatever results I get. If I don't clear then I hope she gives me strength to prepare again and give the exams again in January. If you don't mind, please pray for me that I clear the exams.

Thank you :)
