Most of this
online temple has been built in order to share what I have learned and
what others have gained from a healthy, active relationship with Hrw.
Here is a place which I have created- a sanctuary within the temple-
for you to reflect on the great god Himself, and to offer your own
thanks and prayers.
The walls of the
temples and tombs of ancient Egypt were decorated with scenes of
paradise, ritual, reverence, and offerings; it was believed that,
through the influence of heka (a combination of religion and magic),
these images could come to life and invoke the presence of the things
they depicted. This is the foundation of the online shrine- I present
you with images, and within the open heart they will evoke the
spiritual equivalents of the actual objects, which may then be offered
up to Hrw with thanks and reverence. The act of reverent offering is
in itself a gift- an act of truth and purity which is the food of the
gods themselves.
I offer you this
shrine if you do not have space for a personal shrine in your own
home, if you're away from home and don't have a traveling shrine, or
if you simply need a few quiet moments with the ntjr to recollect
yourself before you move on. None who love the ntjrw are turned away,
and this shrine is open at any time- but only if you enter in the
proper spirit. Anyone who enters for amusement or display will find
images, but the shrine itself will be utterly closed off.
So be welcome
here, and enter in peace. Banu
has created a series
of images which you may select as offerings, and all of these images
are things which have been found pleasing in His eyes- so you may use
this offering list as an inspiration for rites held elsewhere. I will
gradually enrich the offering selections for the shrine. If you would
like to give more, you will need to supply your own. These can be
incense, music, physical objects, or the praises you speak. Come here
to know the ntjr and offer your prayers, as well. Whether these items
are offered aloud or in your own heart, Hrw will hear you.
When you get
inside if you would like to make an offering to Hrw - "He who is above"
all you have to do is click on the word of your offering choice
and it will appear for him.
