    The Beautiful Festival of Opet was celebrated annually in Thebes. Occurring at the time of Inundation in the season of Akhet, which would mean August-September in modern days. It was celebrated each year and lasted from 11 to 27 days. During the festival divine kingship was reborn and the the king's position as pharaoh reaffirmed. On a cosmic level, the festival "secured the regeneration of the Creator, Amun of Luxor, the rebirth of Amun-Re of Karnak, and the recreation of the cosmos."

    Welcome to KMT, MerytMaihes.. It's so good to see you here!

    Not only does it keep us silky smooth, it's edible too. Enjoy.

    About Opet.. Like Oset, Akhenhotep, Sahirnee, Kismet, Uadjet and others, I began my last pilgrimage to Karnak from Ineb~Hedj in Old Kingdom. And like O said, all those posts (along with the entire board) were axed some time during his sabbatical. In OK, I was a keeper of the Royal Cobras, moved on to Wabet, and eventually became High Priestess of Wadjet.

    But all was not lost. Since we celebrated the last Opet cross~group, moving from place to place on our joruney to Karnak and posting on each others' boards, a few of my RP posts remain. In Horus.. I think maybe two posts remain. One is when I got to Niwt (Waset) and one is an Opet offering (of sorts). So, as you might be able to tell, I'm game... I'm all for jumping into the fray.

    Can youse~use a snakey lady?
