I am backdating this so that it’s easier to find, since I’m writing this about a month late, sorry. Those who followed along on tumblr already saw all this, but I had meant to share it here, too.

August 9th: Wep Ronpet, the New Year, and the Arrival of Sopdet (the star Sirius)
DUA SOPDET!
my original prayer
Today you rise before the sun, ushering in the new year!

This year’s Omen from all the Netjeru:
The Ace of Swords, and The Page of Wands: As this new Kemetic year dawns, we are entering a period of intellectual or philosophical struggle, and should sharpen our wit and prepare to engage in battle. It is a battle of words and ideas, of how messages are delivered and news is presented. You may find inspiration to write or speak your own words – seek to advance clarity, truth, and ma’at in your communication.
