Stars played an important role in ancient Egyptian belief. In the Pyramid Texts the soul of the deceased pharaoh ascends to the #celestial realm of the imperishable circumpolar stars.

"He places thee at the head of the spirits, the imperishable stars."

Mit Schrecken habe ich erfahren, dass Bayern per Gesetz Gendersprache in Verwaltung, Schulen und Hochschulen verbietet.

Ist diese gesetzlich verordnete Bevormundung überhaupt vereinbar mit unserem Grundgesetz, und allgemeiner: mit den Menschenrechten?

Wenn ich jetzt an einer Uni in Bayern eine Stelle im Beamtenstatus antreten würde, oder innehabe, dann mache ich ab sofort strafbar, wenn ich "Professor*innen" schreibe?
Wie kann das in einer Demokratie möglich sein?

Hilfe @BlumeEvolution ?

Wanted: Scientific Errors.

Cash Reward.

"Scientific-misconduct accusations are leading to retractions [...] But there’s no telling how widespread errors are in research: As it is, they’re largely brought to light by unpaid volunteers.

A program launching this month is hoping to shake up that incentive structure [...It] will pay reviewers to root out mistakes in influential papers,"

A journey of the Soul in an ancient Greek ritual manual:
"Draw in breath from the rays and you will see yourself being lifted up and ascending to the height so that you seem to be in midair:
And you will see all immortal things."

From the "Mysteries of Helios-Mithras" in a 4th century magical papyrus

I'm working on the "Coptic Wizard's Hoard" and finally think I managed to understand the ritual:
It's not two separate texts as interpreted so far, it's one ritual requiring two invocations: The 1st bestowes the magician with the understanding to perform the 2nd.
Still, have to do more research into the content of the invocations and the Coptic terminology.

This is an unusal Egyptian #divination combining two techniques:

A yes/no answer based on the individual appearance of the god
+
a personal encounter with the god who will talk to the practitioner.

It's also extremely short for an Egyptian divination and the invoked god is not mentioned by name.

Thinking about how to bring academics and practitioners (and maybe gamers and creatives?) together.

Wondering about organizing a convention/conference crossover on magic and witchcraft.

Would you be interested and come or join online?
