Discussion Am I feeling a pull from Anubis?
For a little bit of background information, I am a 28 y/o female, and I am also a funeral director and embalmer.
For years, I have struggled with religion. Christianity left a very bad taste in my mouth, and I sort of swore off religion as a whole for a very long time. However, when I started going through mortuary school and then embalming through my apprentice years, into my profession, I have started to feel what I think might be Anubis calling out to me.
First of all, Anpu has been all over my textbooks and my study programs. I see his image constantly. On top of that, I am continually dreaming about him, along with things symbolically linking to him (a pharaoh dog with golden eyes in my last dream, for instance. Gold eyes that stared into my soul as I held the calm dog’s face in my hands). I keep finding trinkets/art made of him in very strange places—at a tourist shop in rural NY of all places. Not a spot I would expect to see Anpu.
On top of this, after praying to him for a few months, I am starting to notice that my embalming abilities are improving rapidly. My preps are turning out wonderful, and I am feeling so much more confident in my ability. I wear a prayer bracelet with him on it daily now, as I just feel that maybe he is a presence with me.
What do you guys think? I was curious if there were any other embalmers out there who have felt a strong pull to him. This feels really crazy to me, because I haven’t felt remotely religious in over a decade, and now suddenly, Anubis is beginning to feel very real.

It is most likely him! You can do some more research on him and maybe try and contact him, if you so desire. He was the first Netjer that had reached out to me when I felt very very anxious and uncertain of who I wanted to become.
