My Kemetic friend has laid down a challenge to me by telling me that I am unable to write a blog post about Egyptian Deities since I know nothing about them, so here goes. From the 1880s to the end of the First World War, Egypt had a flourishing tobacco industry, using imported Turkish tobacco, since tobacco growing had been banned in Egypt. These cigarettes' popularity brought a host of imitators (perhaps Camels are best known & still going), among them the American brand Egyptian Deities.

Do you see the cobbles on the streets? Everywhere you look, stone & rock. Can you imagine what it feels like to reach down with your bones & feel the living stones? The city is built on itself, all the cities that came before. Can you imagine how it feels to lie down on an ancient flagstone & feel the power of the rock buoying you up against the tug of the world? And that's where witchcraft begins. The stones have life, & I'm part of it. - adapted from Terry Pratchett
