Community Announcement

Posted on by admin

Hey all,

Several years ago I ventured out into the pagan community searching for fellow Kemetic practitioners or re-constructionists.

Luckily, I found a few scattered around the UK and further afield, though depressingly searching for a larger pool I thought there could be groups or organisations that might offer a better chance. Unfortunately apart from some short lived groups (perhaps failing because of the low Kemetic population) there doesn’t appear to be any that offer what I am after. Sure, there are some overseas ones that have UK extensions but they don’t appeal to me due to how they’ve approached Kemetic practice.

Of course there have been plenty of general pagan groups and while I’ve really enjoyed those opportunities, the practice of ancient Egyptian magic and it’s approach to deity does not quite align with how much of the pagan community do theirs. This has resulted in some disappointment which is a real shame.

All is not lost though. From those who appear to be in a similar situation I’ve been thinking about creating a corner for us local Kemetics to hang out. Now, I may have no success, it may fail like all of the other past groups. On the other hand it might work – we won’t know if we don’t try.

If any Kemetics out there – doesn’t matter if you are UK or not I suppose – are interested keep in touch and I will announce things once I’ve sorted out the basics.

Thanks

Kev

 

 

Summer Solstice 2017

Posted on by admin

Hello all,

As promised a quick mail now we are approaching the summer solstice, which for me is a very important time. It’s my new year (Wep Ron Pet), though many Kemetics mark this one first week of August I tend towards the Old Kingdom period which places it at the summer solstice. Anyway, whatever and however you mark this festival, enjoy!

 

Update time then, my events as usual are at:

https://www.kiyaheike.me.uk/events-board/

 

My next Pure Magik 15th June and will be on basic ritual and spell practice.

Next Dover is tomorrow on the 10th June at the Red Lion. This and the rest of the dates can be found on the Facebook group:

I did do a YouTube version of my talk at the Staffordshire Pagan Conf (which next year becomes Witchfest Midlands!).

 

Will be adding a few more soon so subscribe and be notified of any updates.

There will be a summer solstice ceremony on the beach as usual as part of the Folkestone group on 17th June..

More groups I can be found lurking at are of course the Faversham Moot:

And last, but not least, Living Magically in Canterbury:

Have a blessed and wonderful run up to the summer solstice.

Late May 2017

Posted on by admin
Hello All,
 
May is nearly over and its been a busy one which is why I’ve possibly not been bugging anyone too much. 
 

Beltane was different for me this year. Normally I try and stay local but instead the random invite for a festival the other end of the country was too much to turn down. It was OK, windy, but not bad. Something to try again sometime.

The open Beltane ceremony at the Shakra Centre back on the 6th was amazing and if any of you came along then thank you. We had a larger group than the Samhain open of around 15-20 and this time the pagan content was almost everyone.

The extra icing on the cake was that for many of these pagans who came, it was their first attendance at a public ceremony. More and more are taking their first steps out into the wider world.

If you have yet to do so and want to then please talk to me.

 

There was also other changes, more of which to be announced in due course.

Time then for an update. My events are:

 
My next Pure Magik 15th June and will be on basic ritual and spell practice.
 
Next Dover is on the 10th June at the Red Lion. This and the rest of the dates can be found on the Facebook group:
 
YouTube too continues to fill up and I’m planning a few short clips so stay tuned.
 
 

This weekend (27th May) I’m speaking at the Staffordshire Pagan Conference on Egyptian Magic.

 
 

Out and about with other groups continue.

 
 
 

More groups I can be found lurking at are of course the Faversham Moot:

 
 

And last, but not least, Living Magically in Canterbury:

Have a blessed and wonderful run up to the summer solstice, and hopefully I will get out something else out before then, if not forward to seeing you all soon!

Forging Magical Intent

Posted on by admin

I am thrilled to announce the availability of my fourth work, and third in the booklet series called ‘Forging Magical Intent’. This one focuses on spell craft and working with symbolism:

This booklet is for those of us who want alternatives to wordy
spells in order to forge our magical intent. The problem may be
caused by many reasons: perhaps we don’t have a poetic bone in
our body due to lacking skill, vocabulary, interest or even a lack
of time.

Remember, spells do not have to be words for there are many
ways to alter reality.

April 2017 – Prep for Beltane

Posted on by admin
Hello All!
 
April is here and so too is spring at last! The next few weeks many of us (self included) will be planning for Beltane and the craziness that this festival brings. Its one of my favourites, I think because its the first big one of the year I can mark with others (currently into a two week big one of my own though). 
 
Time then for an update. My events are:
 
My next Pure Magik 20th April and will be on various spiritual and pagan traditions.
 
Next Dover is on the 22nd April at the Red Lion. This and the rest of the dates can be found on the Facebook group:
 
 
YouTube too continues to fill up and I’m planning a few short clips so stay tuned.
 
 
In addition to my usual haunts above I have an open ceremony at the Shakra Centre, Charing following the main Beltane festival on the 6th May. Details to follow on their Facebook Page:
 
 
Out and about with other groups there is plenty going on during this busy time. I won’t be able to make the Fokestone Moot and Beltane Ceremony, or the amazing Rochester Sweeps this year as I’m away out of county doing workshops.
 
 
 

More groups I can be found lurking at are of course the Faversham Moot:

 
And last, but not least, Living Magically in Canterbury:
 
 
Have a blessed and wonderful Beltane and look forward to seeing you all soon!
