Planning for Wep Ronpet

[Redshire]

I am trying to plan ahead for Wep Ronpet and need some help in determining exactly when it is happening this year. I would like the astronomical dates and times, not the calendar ones.

Also, what do you personally do for each of the 5 days? I need all the help I can get at this point.


por favor!

That depends on how you wish to calculate the dates. Do you wish to calculate them via the Kemetic Orthodox method (as in the heliacal rising of Sopdet at the residence of the current Nisut) or in other methods.

I have some traditions I have started with my kids with Wep Ronpet, if you have a Live Journal account, I can give you access to what I did last year.. (otherwise you'll have to wait until I am not so tired and hope I remember to come back :P)

I am not KO so I would prefer to learn when Sodpet rises over my residence in western Washington.

Ecauldron has a long ass thread about how to calculate this. Honestly, IMO, it's more pain than it's worth. So I either go by KO's date, or I pick my own.

Generally speaking, I do something for the full week of WR. Each birthday, I set up an altar specifically for that god. I give them offerings each morning, and sometimes I will do an activity in their honor that day. On the actual New Years Day, I will go out and enjoy the company of my s.o., or perhaps my family.

That's more or less what I do.

I'll be going pretty simple this year. Reciting the prayers on each of the intercalendary days and on Wep Ronpet itself. I'll have a few offerings for Mom, and my beloveds as well.
