About Seshat: Seshat is the Egyptian record keeper of the gods and a goddess to whom history, writing, and books are all sacred.
Seshat reminds us that to change both our collective and our individual futures, we must first learn from the past.
Measuring time and helping people plan out sacred buildings, Seshat often appears in art with a seven-pointed rosette and a wand (likely to inscribe her notes).
To Do Today: A time to remember people who have died in battle, Memorial Day also affords us a moment to remember those who have fought for freedom in alternative faiths.
For the phrase "never again the burning" to mean something, we have to open our "broom closets" and begin educating the public about the beauty of magical traditions instead of the usual hype.
If you know someone who's been curious about magic, sharing your knowledge today honors Seshat and all the people who have kept records of our metaphysical legacy even when risking their lives.
Attend to your magic books today: read, write, make notes of your experience with all due diligence, and ask Seshat to help you see the bigger picture. Don't dawdle today!
Commit yourself to eliminating the phrase "pagan standard time" from your vocabulary.
Being timely is something this goddess appreciates.
