For me, I feel closest to Thoth and Ma'at, as a writer and eager defender of truth and justice.

    Bast is my matron/mother and Sekhmet is my protector, so I guess that makes them my favorites. But I also have a fondness for Anpu and Set.

    Ma'at called me to take care of some business for Her back in the mid-'80's, and I am still at Her service. I believe that Hers was and *is* the first Mystery learned by those who are called by the Gods of Kemet, and that those of us who are committed to the Old Gods *stilll* serve Her first & foremost.

    The deity I feel closest to is Sekhmet, killing and drinking the blood of humans until she had to be tricked into stopping when she got carried away and took the killing further than the gods meant it to be.

      Ever notice how similar Sekhmet and Kali are in temperament? I wonder if it's a coincidence, or if there was some kind cultural interaction between Egypt and the settlers of India.

        May be similiar in temperment, but the tradition and ideas surrounding them differ greatly. I am not overtly drawn to Kali, myself. Part of Sekhmets intrigue for me is her feline aspect.

    Well, given my profile name Djehuty(Tehuty/Thoth). Being a philosophy major, that was an obvious relation for me. Unas "the devourer of gods" has always held a deep facination with me (the writtings are just too archyptal). And then Kepera(Keper), because it comes the closest for me to the unmanifest universe (Brahman).
