Hola from Mexico
When an Egyptian post comes up I can’t help but reply…
Seshat was linked with writing, record-keeping, counting, and measurement. She was seen as the patroness of scribes, accountants, and astronomers. Her consort then was naturally Thoth, who also took on these roles among others. Her record keeping ensured the preservation of Egypts culture and traditions, as well as the pharaoh’s victories and achievements.
Seshat’s name is thought to mean “she who writes” or “female scribe.” She is shown wearing a headdress with a seven-pointed emblem that could represent the branches of a tree or the points of a star. The headdress also had a papyrus plant, which was a symbol of writing and knowledge. The Egyptians wrote on papyrus but also used the reeds as pens/quills. You sometimes see her standing behind the pharaoh, using a reed pen to record the pharaoh’s victories and achievements.
Seshat was responsible for keeping the official records of the Egyptian state, including military victories, census results, tax collections and the construction of temples/monuments. She also played a role in the foundation ceremonies for new temples and cities; she would use a golden reed pen to lay out the dimensions of the new structure.
One way to connect with Seshat is through your work, particularly if it involves writing, books, handing datas and information, record-keeping or accounting, where she can provide guidance. She can also assist in carrying out your own research in to areas of personal interest.
Create an altar for Seshat and consider adding symbols linked to her such as papyrus sheets, papyrus reeds, pens, quills, flat stone tablets or a seven pointed star.light candles and offer prayers asking for her guidance and involvement in your life. Meditate on themes linked to her such as gaining knowledge improving wisdom but also thinks like maintaining order (she was a record keeper afterall so was pretty organised).
Make a big think aboit language and the wirtten word. Read books, practice calligraphy, learn a language (even hieroglyphs) or offer support to intellectual institutions such as schools and libraries or to other areas that need help with record keeping, orga using things or preservation. You could maybe also consider preserving your only family traditions with a family scrapbook or something that can be passed down. That way, it preserves your family culture and legacy, just like Seshat did with the pharaohs.
Hope this helps (and makes sense after some tequila )
Blessed be
