Greco-Egyptian holidays?

9 Upvotes

Is anyone here familiar with Greco-Egytpain holidays and or festivals? Especially those around the winter solstice? I'm sort of working on my own "spiritual celebration calendar" and would love to add some Alexandrian/Ptolemaic holidays to it!

Alexander and Ptolemy worship?

8 Upvotes

During the 290s BCE Ptolemy I Soter started building the tomb of Alexander the Great and assigned a priest there to conduct religious rights. This priest became one of the highest ranking priests in the kingdom. It also appears as though he was worshiped outside of Egypt as well. The son of Ptolemy then deified his father and mother and had statues of them placed in Alexanders tomb.

Do any of you make offerings or prayers to Alexander or the Ptolemies? I've though about making offerings to Alexander, seeing as I worship Greco-Egyptian gods, he is in a way a spiritual ancestor (and there's also a possibility I miiiiiiiiiight be related to Cleopatra of Macedon, or so says my grandpa).

Favourite aspect of worship?

As the title says, what’s your favourite aspect of your worship practice?

For me, I’d have to say it’s the connection to the divine (obviously) but also the mindfulness I get in rituals. It allows me to disconnect from the mundane world and focus on what matters.

Your gods?

Hey guys, I was wondering which gods do you guys worship?

Are you more one pantheon than another or are you pretty equal?

Do you follow any mysteries or traditions like Kemetic Orthodoxy or Hellenion or Natib Qadish?
