i think about the whole “names are power” thing a lot. i wonder if those long-forgotten spirits hear their names when they’re spoken with fervor, if they feel the energy rushing back to them after so long. i wonder if it’s different for those whose names are known but not honored, a different sensation to them that surprises them, rejuvenates them after centuries of moroseness and only being mentioned by scholars with no passion for them. i wonder if my whispers mean anything, i wonder if my whispers mean everything.

-UPG WARNING-

I dont know about anyone else, but this seems to be the case with Ptah-Tatenen-Nun, when I finally found out about him, and made that post asking people to praise his name, things changed. He changed.

I asked him once, and also Ptah-Ra-Atum what happened to the Netjer who are no longer remembered, and I got the impression of ‘falling into a deep slumber’

and that calling out to Them, saying and praising their Names, wakes Them up.

Which allows them to function properly again. :O

that’s a beautiful way of putting it, thank you.

i only hope, with my situation, most are patient enough with me that i may soon honor them like i hope to.

until then, i’ll keep on whispering to them.
