Tehuti 415: Kemetic New Year
Happy New Year!
The 1st of Tehuti 415 (Gregorian calendar date September 11, 2015) marks the 1st day of the new spiritual year under the sidereal calendar. According to the sidereal calendar seasonal New Year is also based on the rhythms of the Septet (Sirius) Star and occurs when the Star rises at approximately the same time as the sun. The sidereal calendar is the calendar that was used by the entire world before the invasions of religion and sects and is still used throughout the world today especially in traditional spiritual communities in Meritah (Africa). Within the new cycle it is highly favorable for spiritual activity and there are many traditional holy days to observe.
Our ancestors understood that it is not a coincidence that the Kemetic New Year coincides with the rainy seasons and hurricane seasons in the tropical regions of the world. We celebrate this knowledge that allows us to harmonize our activities with the realities of the world and the universe. We celebrate our connection to something larger and more stable than ourselves. Let us commit to returning our lives to these realities and free ourselves from the confinement of colonial politics. This new year, let us commit to living in harmony with our home, Earth.
