Hello World.

Welcome to the Scriptorium. I'm Thutm0sys, and this is my blog. Who am I? I'm a lot of things. I'm a kemetic. Little K kemetic. I am independent, not a member of any temple or group, and will approach Kemeticism, and everything else, from that perspective. For those not familiar with the term, I venerate the Egyptian (Kemetic, from KMT, the ancient name for Egypt) gods, though in particular I am devoted to the god Thoth and the goddess Hathor.

I am not a reconstructionist. I would be more of a neo-reconstructionist or reformed reconstructionist, since I realize there is much that cannot be done the way the ancients had, that I am not a priest and my house is not a temple, that I cannot bathe in natron, etc. However, I try to do as much research as I can on the gods (duh) and on ancient practices of worship and heka (magic) to incorporate into my own religious and magical practices.

Yes, I do believe in and practice magic. I understand some reconstructionists might consider magic to be impious, hubristic, or even useless, but the Egyptians didn't, and neither do I. However, I focus more on the religious side, as far as religion can be distinguished from magic.

This blog will contain my musings, thoughts, and opinions, particularly on kemeticism, spirituality, religion, as well as other subjects, related or not, such as news, or life.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and try not to get any ink on your clothes. ;)
