Need some Yinepu help

[Harmony Aurore]

Hey folks,

I need some help.

I'm then newbiest of newbies when it comes to kemetic practices and Egyptian Gods. All I know is that I feel very drawn to it, and this is where I'm starting my path.

It seems that soon after I decided this, I find myself really needing Yinepu.

My Grandfather is sick. Well, he's dying. It's a matter of days now, maybe hours. I'm not very sure. I wanted to communicate with Yinepu-Wepwawet, and I wanted to offer him something. I want to ask him to please guide my grandfather to hall of two truths, and help him pass peacefully.

But, this is my first time trying anything like this. I've never really talked to one of the Gods before, no matter how close I felt to them. That's another story though.

How do you approach the Gods? How do you ask for something? How do you make an offering? What does Yinepu like?

I know there are some Yinepups here. please help me out!

How do you approach the Gods? With Love.
How do you ask for something? With Love.
How do you make an offering? With Love.
What does Yinepu like? Love. :)

Approach Him/Them as you would any brother, and as you would any father or elder. Ask Him/Them with clear sincerity, not pleading and begging, but stating clearly and boldly what your needs are. Offer Him/Them your Love, whether it be by sharing a meal -- as is standard -- with Him/Them, or by presenting a token of your passion, or merely offering your Love in and of itself.

Yinepu-Wepwawet in particular likes a lot of things. Among them: earth-toned natural cloths, rum, dark beer, cool water, bread (especially fresh), butter, chocolate, nuts, dark soil, ancestral items or embalming instruments, original art (music, poetry, anything), etc etc etc etc.

""" Incense burns and fire shines. Fire burns and incense shines. The breath of Netjer lifts me up. May the incense please You, may the flame please You, may you Love me, as I Love You. """

I was always under the impression that Yinepu would always appreciate a big fat sirloin steak... preferably rare...

but bread and butter makes sense to me too.

Thanks for your reply. why is it that you make it seem so simple. I feel so intimidated.

thank you again,

Do not worry. Kemetic gods are not forbidding deities, even if some may practice a little more tough love than others ;)

Yinepu in particular is anything but aloof. Just let yourself express your intent sincerely and clearly and I am sure He will help you. You do not have to stick to any codified ritual. You do not even need to actually speak if that feels too awkward. Just go with what makes you feel comfortable. Offerings can take all sorts of forms. Sometimes I dance for Netjer, sometimes I draw something to express my emotions and offer the drawing...

My prayers and thougths are with you and your grandfather. May his passing to the West be serene and painless. May you stay strong and get all the comfort you need from Netjer :hugz:

he just passed away at 6:35 pm tonight.

he was asleep and just stopped breathing. the very best way to die you could have.

I think Yinepu was listening to me. Whether it was from me writting it here or whatnot. I don't know. I'm so confused. But I'm relieved at the way he went. Just like a gentle breeze.

I will have to thank Him. I can't right now. I have to take care of my grandma... but as soon as I possibly can... I will thank him from the bottom of my heart.

I'm very sorry to hear about your grandfather, Harmony. :hugz: I think the best thing you can do now is to grieve and be there for your family. I'm sure that Yinepu already knows how you feel, and He'll be there whenever you need to talk to Him.

[Zephyrstorm]

sorry to hear about your grandfather, Harmony. I'll pray for you and yours. :hugz:

[instinct]

I'm sorry Harmony :hugz:

Your Grandfather couldn't be in better hands. Yinepu is probably one of the gentlest of the kemetic gods.

and don't be intimidated by him! he LOVES to talk to people. he's like a happy puppy when you give him attention (sorry daddy). or atleast he can be.. :eyebrow:

i've found he likes thoughtful gifts (as well as the other things mentioned). something that he can have fun with. something that fascinates him. he's easily fascinated though :lol:

I bought him a Tibetan mani wheel (prayer wheel) once. I think he views it as a handy spinny toy.

he recently helped me out with something rather important, and for his efforts I'm buying him a nice brass compass. we're both rather excited about this.

I'll be praying for your grandfather and for you and your family

You are all fantastic, beautiful and sweet wonderful people. Thank you very much for your kind words of support. I really appreciate it and it puts a smile on my face.

Approach the Netjeru as you would an old friend, and as stated previously, with love. In my experience They are nothing but welcoming, each in Their own way, of course.

If you wish to ask for something, ask from your heart.

You can make an offering anytime, anywhere. You don't have to do any fancy gestures, you can just take a moment to "speak" in your head to the god, and offer whatever it is you see fit. In Kemetic practices, food offerings are consumed afterwards. I usually wait a few minutes after making the offering before eating it.

Yinepu like the things listed above, but I've found He also likes incense and lavender. A lavender incense with a pinch of myrrh seems to be his fave from me. It has a nice spicy scent to it. :)


Very sorry to hear about your grandpa, and I'm certain Yinepu heard your plea and was right there with him when he passed to the West. *hugs*
