Yes Fall Equinox was last night 9/22/22 at 8:05pm ct. the dates & times change every year, however always falls somewhere between the 19th & the 24th. Lasting 3 days, the day & time you see always refers to the Middle Day.
⠀
What IS the Equinox? According to dictionary.com: “the time or date (twice each year) at which the sun crosses the celestial equator, when day & night are of approximately equal length (about September 22 & March 20)”
⠀
Cosmically, this is a time of Coming into Alignment with Truth. Time to discern what is Real from the Unreal. Letting Go of the Painful Past & Making A Way for the Joy that is to come & appreciating the Joy that has always been there, hidden by trauma & fear..
⠀
Our Solar System Aligns with the 4 Cardinal Points of the Milky Way Galaxy. During these periods of Great Alignment, if we resist letting go, it will be TAKEN! Trust me! Solstices & Equinoxes are no joke: this is beyond personality (Lunar) or Ego (Solar). This is a Cosmic Alignment on a Galactic Scale. Cosmic Housecleaning! Cosmic Order.
⠀
The Mayan Count is a Galactic Frequency. But is NOT a calendar, even tho people call it a calendar. The Tree of Life is what the Maya/The Olmec call the Milky Way Galaxy. The Kemetic Teachings also refer to the Milky Way Galaxy as the Tree of Life.
⠀
Anyways, I digress. The Milky Way Galaxy is one of my favorite topics. It was the topic of my research project while in Grad School, & I’ve recorded several songs in honor of the Milky Way. I will post them again soon.
⠀
You can catch Chicagohenge tonight on any east west street… I highly recommend going downtown!⠀
I was too sleepy to get to the Lake this rising, so the Fall Equinox Spiral Dance Medicine Wheel session will be TONIGHT! Sunset is around 6:47pm ct, so let’s connect at 7:30pm ct, to align with the Equinox that was at 8:05 pm last night…
⠀
Look for me on tiktok, KemeTones youtube & ig… at least one of them will work! Lol!
If you miss the livestream, you can always catch the replay…
Remember Sunday 9/25: FALL EQUINOX REGGAE MUSIC EXPERIENCE at the Katalyst Live & Livestream
Were you Aware of Chicagohenge? It is like Stonehenge, except that the alignment takes place in Chicago!
from timeout.com/chicago Half-natural, half- man-made, Chicagohenge refers to the phenomenon that occurs twice a year during the spring and fall equinoxes (the official start of each respective season), when the sun rises and sets directly east and west. Because Chicago’s streets are aligned on a north-south grid system, that allows for gorgeous views of the sun hanging low between the buildings on the city’s east-west streets—especially in the Loop, where towering skyscrapers offer the perfect frame for sunrise and sunset. You can typically view Chicagohenge for a few days after the equinox, too.
Big arterial streets in the Loop (like Madison, Kinzie, Randolph or Lake Streets) usually offer picturesque set-ups. Try not to fret if you miss this one, though—there’s always next time!
LIVE AND LIVESTREAM!
LIVE at The Katalyst 13257 S. Baltimore Ave on Chicago’s Southside in Hegewisch or, you can watch the concert right here on YouTube or tiktok: Livestream or the Replay

Putting on events that coincide with the Spiral Dance, the 8 points around the Wheel of Life, brings me joy, alignment, breakthroughs. MUSIC! I love it! I have been doing Medicine Wheel Circles at these points for many years now. Excited to add a trip downtown for #Chicagohenge, for another great Equinox experience. Perhaps I will see you there! I will probably choose Lake Street, then head Straight to the Lake!
Then just a few days later, we will meet up at the KATALYST for a Night of Original Reggae. 13257 S. Baltimore and bring in the Autumnal Equinox with Music.
We are so grateful to announce that Tchiya Amet and Band will be performing at the African festival of the Arts on the World Music Stage Saturday 9-3 at around 3pm. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Since 1989. This event is the flagship of the Africa International House. This 4 day event has stayed perfectly true to its mission: to promote, preserve and propagate African American culture. The AFA is a series of festivals within a festival built around African culture: art, music, dance, history and current interests and pursuits. Stimulation is the operative word used to describe the African Festival of the Arts (AFA). The visitor’s first rush of sights, sounds and sweet and savory smells are almost overwhelming. The senses can barely take it all in. The event site spans more than twelve acres and each one of them is jam packed with cultural entertainment, education, shopping, food, drink and fun including: • A Fine Arts Pavilion where more than $1M in art sales are exchanged. • An African Market. • A Drum Village. • Three entertainment stages. • National music headliners. • Sponsorable pavilions that focus on African Heritage, literature, automotive, family and children, technology, spirituality, business/finance, green/energy, wellness/fitness, dance, education, film, fashion and others. • An international food court.
Come join us, Live or LiVESTREAM for the Mid-Summer SIRIUS RISING Reggae Music Experience PLUS Eat and Greet @LAX Energy Worx July 31st from 5-9pm. Hotep!
I am so grateful that the Idea popped into my mind about how to schedule these concerts. The “normal” method of time and space e, growing weaker each year, doing the same things at the same time of day, day of week, was well. slowly draining me.
Now that my life is centered around the Solar Sidereal calendar, the Sirius Sidereal calendar, the Lunar calendar, the Galactic Calendar, plus the Calendar of Neterian Holy Days, Life is really flowing for me more abundantly instead of time and chaos perpetually stopping me.
This month there are 2 Neterian Holy Days. These will occur the same date every year…

The Pauti
According to the creation story of the Heliopolitan priests, the world originally consisted of the primordial waters of precreation personified as Nun.[1] From it arose a mound on the First Occasion.[1] Upon the mound sat the self-begotten god Atum, who was equated with the sun god Ra. Atum evolved from Nun through self-creation. Atum either spat or masturbated, producing air personified as Shu and moisture personified as Tefnut. The siblings Shu and Tefnut mated to produce the earth personified as Geb and the nighttime sky personified as Nut.
Geb and Nut were the parents of Osiris and Isis and of Set and Nephthys, who became respective couples in turn. Osiris and Isis represent fertility and order, while Set and Nephthys represent chaos to balance out Osiris and Isis. Horus, the son of Osiris and Isis, is often included in this creation tradition. Due to the duality of Ancient Egyptian myths, this is only one of many creation stories. The Egyptians believed no specific myth was more correct than the other, rather that some combination of these myths was correct. This creation story, the Heliopolitan tradition, is one of physiological creation. The other major creation traditions are the Memphite Tradition and Hermopolitian/Ogdoad.
https://ancientegyptonline.co.uk/ennead/ The Ancient Egyptians had many gods, but some were closely connected to each other in groupings known as “Pesedjets” and associated with defined locations. The Pyramid Texts (Old Kingdom) refer to a number of groups of gods, of which the Great Pesdjet is now known to us as “The Ennead”. The Ennead (derived from the Greek word for nine) are the nine ancient Egyptian Gods and Godesses associated with the creation myths of Heliopolis (Iunu) in Lower Egypt.

Offering Prayer ONKAO 4 Great Truths Anpu
http://www.touregypt.net/godsofegypt/hathor.htm Description: Hathor is a very ancient goddess, dating to predynastic times. When dynastic rule began, as Horus was associated with the king, Hathor was with the queen. Her name translates to “The House of Horus,” and so she is associated with the royal family. But also, as the entire world could be said to be the House of Horus, Hathor can be seen as the mother-goddess of the whole world, similar to Isis.
Hathor’s cult is unusual, as both men and women were her priests (most deities had clerics of the same gender as they). Many of them were artisans, musicians, and dancers who turned their talents into creating rituals that were nothing short of works of art. Music and dance were part of the worship of Hathor like no other deity in Egypt. Hathor herself was the incarnation of dance, and stories were told of how Hathor danced before Ra when he was in despair to cheer him up.
www.touregypt.com
“The menit is a ceremonial object associated with the goddess Hathor whose priestesses are commonly shown holding the emblem. Queens and ladies of waiting, when officiating as priestesses also wore or carried it. On rare occasions it was also worn by men, particularly by priests of the Hathor cult, and it could also be worn by the god Khonsu. We believe that, like the sistrum, this elaborate necklace may have actually functioned as a kind of percussion instrument in certain religious contests.
Appearing first in representations of the 6thDynasty, the menit is associated with Hathor in all subsequent periods of Egyptian history. Even when it was included with other items of tomb equipment as an amulet in the later dynasties of the New Kingdom, it is still associated with the goddess in her role as a deity of the western necropolis and with her part in the rebirth of the deceased. Hence, it was certainly a symbolic item associated with the goddess Hathor, who bore the epithet, “Great Menit”. Many representations of Hathor in her bovine form show the animal wearing the menit around its neck and the necklace is thus sometimes associated with other divine cows. Not surprisingly, the menit is depicted dozens of times in the reliefs of the Late Period temple of Hathor at Dendera.”
http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/menit.htm
Naos Sistrum
Sistrum Seshesh
“Two forms of this ceremonial instrument may be distinguished, the oldest of which is probably the naos sistrum (ancient Egyptian ss, ssst). While Hathor’s head was often depicted on the handles of sistrum, an early travertine sistrum inscribed with the name of the 6th Dynasty ruler, Teti, takes the form of a papyrus topped by a naos, which is itself surmounted by a falcon and cobra, thus forming a rebus of the name Hathor (i.e. hwt Hor). Thus, the sistrum known as the naos sistrum dates back to at least the Old Kingdom. It was usually surmounted by twin heads of Hathor upon which a small shrine or naos-shaped box was set. A vulture may crown the naos, and the handle may be covered with the incised plumage of the bird. Rods were passed through the sides of this naos to form the rattle. Carved or affixed spirals framing the sides of the naos represented the horns of the cow-eared goddess. Note that this earliest form of sistrum was often made of faience.
In a funerary context, sistrum could sometimes be included in the tomb equipment, but were frequently non-functional, and made of wood, stone or faience.
The symbolic value of the sistrum far exceeded its musical potential. It is thought that the instrument may have originated in the practice of shaking bundles of papyrus flowers (hence the onomatopoeic name sesheshet) with which Hathor was associated. In fact, the papyrus plant appears to be at the base of the mythology surrounding the sistrum. It is from a papyrus thicket that Hathor is seen to emerge, and it is also in a papyrus thicket where Isis raised her infant son, Horus. Hence, though originally mostly associated with Hathor, the sistrum eventually entered the cults of other deities and especially those of Amun and Isis.

Akhu (Akh, Khu, Ikhu) – This was the immortal part, the radiant and shining being that lived on in the Sahu, the intellect, will and intentions of the deceased that transfigured death and ascended to the heavens to live with the gods or the imperishable stars.
While the Khat lies in the tomb, ready to be animated by the Ka, the Ba might be traveling the underworld with Ra. While the Ab is with the gods, the Khaibit might be with the Ba on the barque, or in the tomb eating some offerings. At the same time, the Akhu, Sekhem and Sahu might be contentedly living in the stars, looking down at the earth.
from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_conception_of_the_soul
numerous parts of the soul:
Khet or the “physical body”
Sah or the “spiritual body”
Ren or the “name, identity”
Ba or the “personality”
Ka or the “double”
Ib or the “heart”
Shut or the “shadow”
Sekhem or the “power, form”
Collectively, these spirits of a dead person were called the Akh after that person had successfully completed its transition to the afterlife.[2][a] Egyptologist R. David,[3] at the University of Manchester, explains the many facets of the soul as follows:The Egyptians believed that the human personality had many facets—a concept that was probably developed early in the Old Kingdom. In life, the person was a complete entity, but if he had led a virtuous life, he could also have access to a multiplicity of forms that could be used in the next world. In some instances, these forms could be employed to help those whom the deceased wished to support or, alternately, to take revenge on his enemies.[3]
The Akh is a tricky concept perhaps best understood as the effective spirit of the deceased. When a person died, their Ka left their body. The Opening of the Mouth ritual allowed the Ba to leave the body. The akh was the result of the successful union of the Ba and Ka which occurred if the person’s heart passed the test in the Hall of Judgment. Thus the primary purpose of the funerary texts and rituals was to help the deceased become an akh.
Although the akh was not itself divine, it shared some characteristics with the gods and was immortal. During the Old Kingdom, only kings and gods are identified with the akh, but as time progressed all people could hope to be transfigured as one of the blessed dead. Living people could pray to the akh of their ancestors for help, but the akhu could also inflict punishments on the living if not appeased.
The akh also relates to the effectiveness of a person when they undertook any act considered glorious or righteous. For example, a king building a temple for a god or a man feeding and clothing the poor could both be considered akhut (that which is akh).
