In this issue, for my column Walking With the Goddess, I share my article on “How to Cleanse and Purify Using the Elements“. This article contains various purification techniques utilising the elements individually, and brings them all together in a ritual I have specifically written, encompassing them all.

This year, so far, we have had the following eclipses :
January 6th 2019 – Partial Solar Eclipse
January 21st 2019 – Total Lunar Eclipse
July 2nd 2019 – Total Solar Eclipse
Coming up next week we have another lunar eclipse, this one being a partial one:
July 16th – 17th 2019 – Partial Lunar Eclipse
This upcoming partial lunar eclipse during the full moon is also occurring during mercury retrograde which is in Leo (July 7th to August 2nd). So careful consideration should be made with respects to your communications, be it physical, verbal or written. In other words be very specific with your intentions when creating magick of the lunar eclipse.
Earlier in the year I wrote a post about the magick of the lunar eclipse and the kind of magick you can perform during this time. For more information on some simple lunar eclipse magick you can perform, click on the link below:
I find this time quite apt for dedications to Gods who are liminal in nature and in my case, since I am a devotee to Hekate, I find it perfect for her. Years ago I wrote a devotional hymn in her name and because its quite specific it can be used safely in order to dedicate yourself to her during this special moon phase. Please click below if you would like to go the page this hymn is on:

Dua A’set!
Festival Names: Procession of Aset, the Bright One, Mother of God a.k.a. Aset Luminous
Day: 4th Shomu, Day 2
This festival commemorates Aset’s nightly search by torchlight for Her husband Wesir. In modern times, paper boats are made (with written petitions on them) and they are placed in water with a tealight on top.
Aset is a goddess of sovereignty, kingship, magic of all kinds, life-power, personal power and authority, writing, words, gaining knowledge, honoring one’s ancestors, ancestral lineage and traditions, dreams, family relationships, self-love, alignment of the souls and healing. She is also a goddess of Heaven, starlight, the night sky and the star Sopdet (Sirius).
For offering ideas, go here: Offerings of Aset.
I channeled this message from Aset about this festival.

The solar eclipse is is happening on Tuesday 2nd July 2019 which happens to be a total solar eclipse.
A solar eclipse is when the moon moves between the earth and the sun, obscuring the sun from the viewpoint of the earth during the new moon.
The Magick of the Solar Eclipse
Solar eclipse magick is when the energy is amplified due to the moon energies intermingling with the sun energies. The sun and the moon are in the same star sign and the energies co-mingling this way, emphasises the energies of that particular sign. This solar eclipse is in Cancer* therefore the energies heightened during this time is the cancer star sign.
The kind of magick you can perform during the solar eclipse:
Simple Solar Eclipse Magick
Charge some water essence to bring in abundance of manifestation through adaptable resilience.
Simply put out a container of spring water, which you want imbued with solar eclipse energies, under the eclipse with a piece of quartz on the top of the container whilst repeating the following:
“This magickal charge on you I lay,
Abundance into my life come and stay.
Energy of the solar eclipse sweep over me,
Connect me to cleansing change like the sea.
Manifest to me adaptable resilience of proactive change,
Bring with it the ability to handle emotions of various range.”
To preserve the essence place 3 drops of brandy, vodka or gin in the bottle.
When you want to bring in those energies at a later stage of your life, place a drop of the water essence into your drinking water essentially distilling it which will allow you to manifest those energies within your life.

My post on Isis Seichim from several years back…
My main interest whilst studying naturopathy had always been Ancient Egyptian medicine and many of my assignments and pracs focused on that point of interest. I devoured all natural medicine sources as well as Egyptological academia I could find and then, by chance, I stumbled across the vibrational healing modality Isis Seichim. Reiki was thoroughly entrenched in the new age and holistic alternative medicine scene at this time and I had heard about an Ancient Egyptian flavoured reiki and was very eager to learn more about it. What I discovered was that not much was available – all the teachers offering workshops at the time didn’t give much information on what it was, they had no manuals or notes as you just received the initiation and your certificate of completion. I also struggled to find a teacher in the state I was living in and the workshops offered intestate and…

The best time to honor Hekate is the Deipnon and Noumenia. With that said, every year I create an Athenian Calendar to calculate the Deipnon and Noumenia using the Southern Hemisphere New Moons, to ensure my devotions are on the right evenings from my location. This is calculated by the start off point of the Summer Solstice in Greece of that particular year.
The Athenian Calendar also known as the Attic Calendar was a lunisolar calendar used during the classical period of Ancient Greece during the 4th and 5th Centuries BC. It was exclusively used in Athens at the time and each month starts at the first sighting of the new moon, with the year beginning just after mid-summer. It’s become a modern go to for practicing Hellenics and as such, what we use and have today is a reconstruction of what they used around 300-500 BC. I have superimposed this Athenian Calendar over our modern Gregorian one, to loosely create a festival calendar of 12 months based on the cycle of the moon which starts at the beginning of the Athenian year – on the summer solstice in Athens. The names of the months reflect the gods and festivals honoured at that time and have agricultural links to the planting or harvesting of food in the northern hemisphere.
Here is what the yearly Athenian Calendar basically looks like:
Summer (Θέρος)
1 Hekatombaion (Ἑκατομβαιών) July/August
2 Metageitnion (Μεταγειτνιών) August/September (named after Apollo)
3 Boedromion (Βοηδρομιών) September/October
Autumn (Φθινόπωρον)
4 Pyanepsion (Πυανεψιών) October/November
5 Maimakterion (Μαιμακτηριών) November/December (named after Zeus)
6 Poseideon (Ποσειδεών) December/January
Winter (Χεῖμα)
7 Gamelion (Γαμηλιών) January/February
8 Anthesterion (Ἀνθεστηριών) February/March (named after the festival of Anthesteria)
9 Elaphebolion (Ἑλαφηβολιών) March/April
Spring (Ἔαρ)
10 Mounichion (Μουνιχιών) April/May
11 Thargelion (Θαργηλιών) May/June
12 Skirophorion (Σκιροφοριών) June/July
Every month lasts for approximately 29-30 days in total. Each month is broken up into 10 days of three which reflect the moon phases in the following order: Waxing, Full and Waning Moons.
Days 1 to 8 were all sacred to gods or spirit entities and the last day of the month, known as “hene kai nea” translated as “the old and the new”, is dedicate to Hekate as it’s her Deipnon along with the first day of the month, Noumenia which is also dedicated to Hekate.
Here are the details of those 8 sacred days in the Athenian Calendar month:
Day 1: Noumenia (New Moon)
Day 2: Agathos Daimon
Day 3: Athena’s Birthday
Day 4: Heracles, Hermes, Aphrodite and Eros
Day 6: Artemis’ Birthday
Day 7: Apollo’s Birthday
Day 8: Poseidon and Theseus (Mikalson 1975: 24)
Day 29-30: Deipnon
To get you all started with adapting the Athenian Calendar to the Gregorian one, here is the Athenian Calendar I created for 2019, calculated for Southern Hemisphere practitioners:
21 June 2019, = Summer Solstice in Greece (Winter Solstice in Australia 22nd June 1.54am EST)

7 July Day 6: Artemis’ Birthday
8 July Day 7: Apollo’s Birthday
9 July Day 8: Poseidon and Theseus (Mikalson 1975: 24)
31 July Day 29-30: Deipnon

As a kemetic I follow the Wandering Goddess leaving the southern hemisphere and going up north…
Today on Summer Solstice we celebrate the Wandering Goddess!
As part of this celebration I set out offerings to her, Sekhmet in my case, and lit incense for her. I was inspired to write a bit in celebration of today that can be used throughout the year for whenever you need it. The basis of this comes from a message from Sekhmet when I first began to work as a priest. Also will be posting this on my blog. Enjoy!
“When you are afraid, wear my flowers,
When you are unclean, wear my scent,
When you are troubled, hold to my shrine,
When darkness would take you,
Raise your voice to me and I will fill you with light.”
Let us break this down into the four instructions
“When you are afraid, wear my flowers”
This can be seen as using flowers offered to Sekhmet as accessories. It can also…

Fantastic post calculating Wep Ronpet (Ancient Egyptian New Year)
Most years its pretty common for a slew of posts and asks to pop up where Kemetics try to figure out when tf Wep Ronpet is that particular year. I figured that I should just be pre-emptive this year, and create a master list before Wep Ronpet season even begins.
The below list is categorized by continent, and in the case of North America, by country, with everything being in alphabetical order. I tried to choose a variety of cities across the world that would help to cover map. This is so that if your city isn’t listed, you can hopefully find something on a similar latitude to where you’re located (for example: Phoenix, Atlanta, and Los Angeles all have the same date, and are on a similar latitude line), and you can use that for your date. In other words, if two cities were pretty close together, I probably…
