offerings to AmonRa...
Prayers to Amon-Ra
© Copyright 2012 M7C, All rights reserved
“You rise above the horizon at dawn,
Resplendent in light, Powerful of Breath,
O AmonRa, the King of the Gods!
“O You who are crowned Lord of the East,
O King of Everlasting Light,
O One above whose skin is as Gold,
Always protecting the Lands below.
“Come, hear my words,
O AmonRa, Lord of Ipet-iSut,
O the Great God who hears prayers,
Hear Mine:
“O My Divine Father, Amon-Ra,
Protect me and my kin from all who would do us harm,
Enrich us with Wealth as I enrich your temple with
offerings;
Attract all that is positive and good to us,
So that I may honor you likewise.
“So declares, M7C, Kheriheb Master and First Prophet of
Amon-Ra of the Temple of Amon-Ra.”
“All Hail Amon-Ra!!”

Omnitheism
https://www.createspace.com/3689583
In Ancient Egypt, both Monotheism and Polytheism existed in harmony. This lasted until the age of Akhenaton and later Moses. In the 2nd Dynasty there was a disagreement between Horus & Seth followers, like a rivalry between political parties during an American election. This was resolved by adoring both deities. So it shall be with Monotheism and Polytheism of today. That there are millions of interpretations of either system does not matter once the origins or core of each system is evaluated. Orthodox Omnitheism is the worship of all Divinities, whether it is only one, or many. For each Divinity is a Spirit in some form or another, and Spirits dwell in everything and everyone.
The Burning Bush (of the Book of Exodus, OT) is actually a Divine Spirit inside a tree that gives off radiation. A Divine Spirit in Egyptian religion that dwelled inside a tree was the Goddess Hathor (Sycamore Tree). Whenever people of Egypt are shown worshiping a Deity, their hands are always up as if warming them at a campfire. So the Burning Bush was actually an Egyptian Deity, an unknown one. New Gods were always discovered by the Egyptians. The Tree-God that Moses discovered was described as a plant that burned but did not consume the bush.
"And the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed." (Exodus 3:2).
The overall purpose of Religion as a concept is empowerment of Magical Energy. Think of a target deity as the solar cell in a solar station, with thousands of mirrors reflecting sunlight onto it for energy collection. Each mirror is one pious person sending energy to that target god. The target can be a word (Logos), a book (Bible, Quran), a person (Christ), a concept (PAX, Peace), someone with an illness, a building (Temple), or an energy dump site (the Sun). If you empower a word with energy, it becomes a Word of Power; when uttered or written this word forces energy through its definition or action verb.

Ankhesenamun
https://www.createspace.com/3701740
This historical-fiction novel written in 1992 chronicles the lives of late 18th Dynasty Egypt, those of Tutankhamun and his wife, Queen Ankhesenamun.
An Excerpt:
Commander Horemhab sat anxiously and impatiently on the floor of his chariot, waiting for an answer. The royal troops had aligned the entrance of the Nubian camp and several scouts were patrolling in and out of the enemy head-quarters, looking for their leader. A single chariot of Nubian craftsmanship, originally stolen from Egyptian garrisons and modified to meet their standards, shifted the desert sands behind it as the chariot entered through an unprotected gap in the Egyptian wall of horses. A proud announcement saluted the commander from afar, and this caused him to rise from his seat. It was Tutankhamon. Excited, Horemhab shouted to the sky in adoration of the god Horus, relieved that his prayers had been answered. Horemhab exalted his comrades over the news. Ay was the first to respond.
"It couldn't be him; that charioteer looks nothing like Tutankhamon." Tut removed his wig and Ay looked closer.
"Oh my god."
