Kemetic Planetary Hymns

I created these with a mixture of traditional planetary associations from the Graeco-Roman traditions, Kemetic associations with the planets, as well as my own personal feels and vibes. I wanted a set of planetary hymns to use before my meditation as I find the planetary days to be a very good way for me to structure and organise myself and my week, and helps me keep track of the days. I didn't feel right using the Graeco-Roman gods I have grown used to calling upon for Kemetic rites, so I made these instead.

Most of these picks, I think will make sense, but you might look at Venus and Saturn and be like, why did you pick those deities? Well. Venus was seen to be associated with Heru, and the morning and evening star association fits with my Sobek-Heru-Ra-Wesir thing, so. Plus the Lord of Love epithet Sobek has that I think fits His energy for Venus very well. As for Saturn, I went with Kheper-Ra-Atum as representing all stages of life and death, the harvest and the growing and the cycles of the sun and the seasons. To me, it felt like the right energy for Saturn and the way I understand it.
