The ceremony began with the 4-point Opening of the Way. Four priestesses dressed in white and arrayed with lavish Kemetic jewelry stood on either side of one another, two by two performing a simple dance around the altar which was in the center. The dance was accompanied by the lulling of calming, tranquil music. The Priestesses each held two Ankhs in their hands and swayed them back and forth as they continued to move with the music. As the Abu or Kemetic priest entered, the priestesses welcomed him with a dance. Then they put the left foot ahead of the right and stretched out the left hand presenting the palm as the right hand was bent. Watching that greeting blew my mind. It was artful and full of strength and at the same time, it seemed so familiar. Now I just want to welcome people that way instead of shaking hands.

Coming towards the end of the ceremony, there was even a Defense of the Ankh, where anyone in the audience could throw out inquiries to the couple as to why they have chosen this particular path. As each question was thrown, each one was batted out of the park in eloquent manner. As the couple exited with new ankhs in hand the priestesses created an arch for them to pass through. Upon their return, Nfr-Ka Ma’at and Heru Djeden Ma’at at Aten-Ra both surprised everyone by presenting beautifully crafted pendants with the image of Ma’at to four unsuspecting friends that they thought deserved them for all their support. My older daughter said, I would be called up but I looked at her and said plainly, “No”. Then, my name was called first. Of course I was stunned. I jumped up with my younger daughter, sleeping in my arms and made my way up to receive the wonderful gift. Thank you so much!
The occasion was like none other that I have attended. It was an eye opener. Utterly beautiful, calming and just natural. I am thankful that I was a part of it. Outside, we were blessed to have strangely beautiful weather; a type of weather pattern that is more familiar to the Caribbean than it is to urban New York - Soft rain drops shimmering in the golden rays of the sun. Sunshowers! What a way to top off the day!

Thank you for sharing! There's a reason that the 42 Declarations are similar to the 10 Commandments. Check out Anthony T Browder - The Secret Behind The Secret on YouTube.
