Egyptians literally believed that cats were divine, to the point that if a household cat died, its owners would shave their eyebrows in mourning and lovingly transport the cat carcass to one of the cities devoted to mummifying cats for their journey to the next world. (They apparently didn't make it. In 1888, about 300,000 cat mummies were discovered still lounging around this world in the ancient city of Beni Hassan.

The ancient Egyptians worshipped the Neteru. These people often saw the presence of the Neteru in various animals and other aspects of nature: Heru's majesty is echoed in the flight of the hawk; Sekhmet's strength is easily seen in the powerful lion; the rebirth of Ausir was evoked by the cycle of barren drought and renewal in the annual flood of the Nile.

The ancient Egyptians included images of people making and eating food in their art, described food in their texts, and even buried items of food in tombs with the deceased. Thus we have a fairly good idea of what they ate. The staples of the average person’s diet were bread—made in many different shapes—beer, and vegetables. Bread and beer are the first two items mentioned in standard offering formulas for the deceased. (Learn more about offerings.

The word “mummy” derives from the Arabic mummiya, meaning “bitumen” or “pitch” (tar or asphalt), and refers to the black resin discovered on bodies placed in Late Period burials. The ancient Egyptian word for “mummy” was sah, meaning “nobility” and “dignity.

One of the most popular misconceptions about ancient Egyptians is that they worshiped animals such as cats, dogs, and birds. Some animals, such as the Apis bull, may have been sacred, but the majority were not. Instead, as in many religions, animals symbolized certain gods and—just like figurines of animals in bronze, terracotta, faience, or other materials—their mummies served as votive offerings to those gods.

The great pyramid and other monuments may have orientations to constellations and the precessional cycle according to the "Orion Mystery" by Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbet. How long does a millennia last and how does that compare to the length of a great age? A millennia lasts for 1000 years while a great age lasts for about 2,160 years, so a great age lasts a little over 2 millennia.

Colossians 2:16 shows the church was keeping all of the Sabbaths and New Moons and Holydays. It says let no man judge you as to how you keep them, not ignore them. Acts shows clearly the entire church was keeping the feasts and the Sabbaths and here the New Moons. We have kept them for 1971 years. They kept Pentecost or they would not have received the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1). The Gospels are littered with references to the keeping of the feasts, all of them, by Christ and the apostles.

Elite men and women cut their hair short or shaved it completely, either to keep cool, to fit under a wig, or as a precaution against lice. They wore wigs made of human hair, and hairpieces of artificial curls or braids that could be added separately. Wigs were probably worn in public and at parties. Men and women also shaved their body hair and Egyptian priests were required to shave their heads and bodies as part of a purification process during their terms of service in a temple.

There is no single ancient Egyptian word equivalent to the word “time,” although many words referred to segments or kinds of time such as parts of the day, specific occurrences, and “never.” Unlike the Western calendar, the ancient Egyptians did not have a continuous dating system from a fixed point. An early lunar calendar, based on the cycles of the moon, coexisted with a solar or civil calendar by the time of the Old Kingdom.

The Sunday worship began as a result of the beast changing times and seasons, this includes the day cycle, the calender year as well as the day of rest. (Daniel 7:25) This is a celebration of the sun god's day.

Usually I do. That is, I may or may not write both on the same day, but in the same block of time, usually I am alternating between poetry and fiction. The only time I am not likely to be writing poems is when I am finishing a late draft of a novel to deadline, when I work so many hours a day that I don’t want to read when I finish, let alone write anything. My eyes are too tired and so is my brain.

The woman who started 13 Cats previously provided "foster care" in her home for a local non-profit organization. She took in new "Mom Cats" and their adorable new kittens and cared for them until they were old enough to be adopted. She cared for 13 Cats in all and ironically, 13 is also her lucky number! So,.....that's how we got our name...

There are as many ways of worship as there are traditions of the Craft. Most rituals involve consecration of the ritual space in some way ("Casting the Circle"), invocation of a Deity or Deities, and a communal meal. Rituals can include music and/or dancing, poetry, masquing and drama (often in enactments of myth), sometimes with props and special effects.

This depends on the nation you look at. Ireland had different gods than Wales, who had further different gods than Gaul. Another point to consider is not only were gods known by different names, but many of the names were deemed too holy to pronounce aloud. (thus the common oath: "I swear by the god my tribe swears by".) The Tuatha de Danann (Tribe of the Goddess Danu) was the name of the Irish pantheon, for the Gods were descended from Her.
