Before Whom Evil Trembles
Sep. 28th, 2006 10:10 pmI wish that was what my name meant. :(
It is, by the way, one of the meanings of the name of my favourite Goddess, Sekhmet. It's sometimes One Before Whom Evil Trembles, sometimes One Who Is Powerful, or Avenger of Wrongs, Scarlet Lady (Scarlet referring to blood in this case - Red was also very strongly associated with power in Egypt) or Lady of Slaughter.
I HUNGER.
GOD. This essay is being harder to write than I thought - not because I don't know what to say, but because I only have 2500 words to say it in and I want to go into more detail :(
Well, not hard, just frustrating, kinda.
PEOPLE NEED TO STOP SAYING THAT EGYPTIAN GODS ARE ANTHRO because they're not. Not not notty not not. ALSO! BAST and SEKHMET are not one and the same, they are completely separate goddesses, and the Egyptians did NOT worship animals, not at all.
Whew, I've wanted to say that for a while.
Sorbek never gets no lovin' :(
Well, he does, but he doesn't get as much lovin' as some other gods.
I HAVE TO STOP TANGENTING. The essay is DUE tomorrow.
*hits self*
*has to go watch Family Guy*
lol.
I am by the way having the BEST TIME since writing that Cistercians and Templars essay although this is more fun because I actually know what I am talking about fully, before I started reading anything. However it's making it hard to reference, for example, when I say "The Old Kingdom officially began in 2686BC (yea, I remembered that) and c. 3100 king Narmer united Upper and Lower Egypt, becoming the first Pharaoh and beginning the Dynastic Period" I have no idea how the hell I'm going to reference that, and you have to reference dates because "there is lyk no wai j0 could knoe dat." So in that respect, I'm a little screwed. Seriously contemplating saying down the bottom "I've been obsessed with Egypt for nearly 9 years, some of this stuff I just know, mkay?"
But I don't think it would work. I think they would be like "lol plagarism" and then I would be like ":'( If only you knew"
Right - Essay time
(said like "Hammer time!" in "Can't Touch This")
!!! I've found some date references, unfortunately they're in a crappy kids' craft book. Hm. Or Wikipedia. I can't really reference either of those. Lol.
