Asetians are archetypes of Divinity

Luis Marques, in Violet Throne wrote: “For the Asetians just like in the mind of the Ancient Egyptians the nature of divinity is tremendously complex and inadequate of conscious understanding in this limited realm of matter, manifesting through countless aspects and infinite faces. It has limitless potential. Such a notion can only be expressed by a polytheistic system, where an attempt to define the indefinable and to bring the concept down from the realm of infinity to the limited mind in the physical world culminates in the different Gods and Goddesses as they are found in the mythology of Egypt. It breaks the endless nature of divinity into a limited framework that can be discussed, approached and examined by having it translated into words and symbols, making ritual, celebration, magick and communion with this inscrutable layer of the divine possible and experienced while incarnated, even if still not completely understood and ultimately veiled behind many mysteries. The Egyptian pantheon reflects precisely that divine powers are not good or evil, nor strong or weak, but faces that embody all of its forces and expressions. Just like nature they can be omens of prosperity and givers of life but also abusive destroyers and terrifying opposers, as an aspect of the universal duality that is present in everything.”

Luis Marques, in Violet Throne wrote: “The faces of Goddesses and Gods were that of timeless teachers, guides and leaders, harnessing unseen powers and emanating energies, cautiously and cryptically passing the knowledge and ancient technology that was later adopted by the Egyptian people in the creation of the most advanced civilization the world has ever witnessed; a wealth of culture, architecture, art, engineering, medicine and, of course, magick.”

Luis Marques, in Violet Throne wrote: “With further in-depth examination and interpretation another relevant element found in Kemetic spirituality is the embodiment of a divine force expressed by different manifestations or deities. Such approach is called syncretism and it is a concept used in religious studies to establish an often-unseen connection between disparate forces that can, under a certain understanding, be interpreted as one. A few well-known examples are found in Bast, Sekhmet, Hathor and Neith, all distinctive Ancient Egyptian Goddesses who ultimately manifest an essence of Aset. The actual meaning is not that they are a personification of Aset but a facet of Her divine nature, in this case being a reference to historical Asetians who lived during early Egypt. It should be noted that the terminology of Goddess used in this scenario was established by the common people in an attempt to describe these powerful Asetian women, not an implication that they represent the actual formless manifestation of the divine but how humanity saw and interpreted their inhuman nature. The same is true for Horus, Khonsu, Ptah and Imhotep among countless others as limited expressions of the essence of Aset just like the previously mentioned Goddesses, bound to the scholarly concept of syncretism yet representing very real Asetians who were once the catalysts of magick in the ancient empire. As such, the influence of Aset and Her timeless kin is found throughout the ages represented in different forms and under a myriad of names, celebrated in diversified cultures and silently shaping the course of history not always out in the open or meant to be seen, safely distanced from interpretation by the non Initiated but sometimes boldly hiding in plain sight.”
