Mother Goddess and Father God, holding horn of plenty (cornucopia), ritual plate (phiale) and wine vessel (oinochoe), surrounding a covered altar on which stands a huge bearded Serpent. Dated ca 350 BC. In Egypt they are depicted with snake bodies and are know as Agathe Tyche (Isis) and Agathos Daimon (Osiris), worshiped as household gods and protectors, bringing good luck and fortune. It’s interesting that on the island of Delos there is a Temple of Isis.

#Osiris proves that you can have an erection long after you're dead and, with a little magic, even father a son posthumously.

Something spurred my partner to begin building a temple to Osiris, and this temple site was the location of the altar we erected for our Dia de Muertos celebration. It was fitting, the idea that offerings were being made both to our ancestors and the god who watched over the underworld.
The altar I hand painted with symbols related to Egyptian, Western occult, and Meso-American systems. This practice of ours is growing oddly eclectic, but somehow feels placed and connected with the landbase despite its tenuosity of place literally.
The temple site itself is an island 14 feet in diameter, hand carved from the land and built up by my partner. The 'moat' around it is encircled with rocks, and he likewise created a spiral path off of one of our walking paths to enter the temple. We've planted four marigold plants and a date palm at strategic points along this path. You enter the temple from the East, and face West as you worship.
There are plans to build a structure here, but for now it is freestanding, an altar in the middle of our land, in the middle of the desert, covered still in marigolds and offered seeds, petals and incense.
This morning my daughter & I walked out there, and sat with the altar for the first time since the event. I offered new flowers, seeds, and scattered petals. My daughter made herself busy arranging flowers on the ground in quite an intentional way, although she can't tell me about the designs in her head yet. I sat and meditated for a few moments below the altar, as the sun rose over the valley.
I think that this is to become a daily ritual. It's been a long time since I've properly engaged in prayer or ritual on a regular basis, and even my once-daily meditation practice has become "here and there, as I have time". There is something so powerful about structured practice, and I really don't know if I can explain why.
This might become a thread of other updates with regards to my spiritual practice, since I feel as though a lot has shifted in the last few months.

The OSIRIS-REx mission is safely back on Earth with a load of tantalizing asteroid material. Now, the public will get to see it for the first time.

#OSIRIS-APEX mission sets off for new #asteroid target...
https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/25/world/osiris-apophis-mission-scn
#Apophis, a space rock roughly 1,200 feet (366 meters) across, will come within 20,000 miles (32,187 kilometers) of Earth in about 5 ½ years, which is closer than satellites that orbit our planet and 10 times nearer than the moon. The asteroid was named for the Egyptian god of #chaos and #darkness and is believed to be shaped like a #peanut.
Yesterday, the spacecraft OSIRIS-REx landed back on Earth after a 7-year mission. OSIRIS is the first U.S. mission to bring us astroid samples.
Ambre Rose Trujillo explains the magnitude of these samples from astroid Bennu.
