This one is an intro to the bonkers-ness (is that a word?) that is ancient Egypt and why it matters to you and your tradition.

Here is a link to our facebook group if you wanna slide in early. Fist bump.
The group opens in October, but if you want to slide in early, HERE is the link:

Join us to discuss together

  • why Herodotus says Egypt is the gift of the NILE.
  • chaos (isfet) and order (ma'at) in the ancient Near East.
  • cosmic waters and creation if you're down to clown.
  • a little riff on time in Egypt and in the broader ANE.
  • how we have to puzzle piece together Egyptian mythology...

So how do you measure the worth of a man
In wealth or strength or size?
In how much he gained or how much he gave?
The answer will come
The answer will come to him who tries
To look at his life through heaven's eyes
