The Ancient Gods have returned!
Set, also known as Seth and Suetekh, was the Egyptian god of
war, chaos, and storms, brother of Osiris, Isis, and Horus the Elder, uncle to
Horus the Younger, and brother-husband to Nephthys. His other consort was the
goddess Tawaret, a hippo-headed deity who presided over fertility and
childbirth.
He is one of the first five gods created by the union of Geb
(earth) and Nut (sky) after the creation of the world. His name is usually
translated as "instigator of confusion" and "destroyer" and
he was associated with disorder, foreign lands and people, and the color red.
He is sometimes depicted as a red-haired beast with a forked
tail and cloven hooves or a shaggy red dog-like beast known as a sha (or, to
modern-day scholars, as the Set Animal) which some scholars claim was modeled
on the Saluki breed while others maintain was a purely mythological creature
imagined specifically to represent Set whose other symbols were the griffin,
hippopotamus, crocodile, and tortoise (though he was primarily associated with
the serpent). His epithets include "Lord of the Desert" and
"Ruler of the South" as he was originally a god of Upper Egypt (the
south) and the barren lands beyond Egypt's borders.
In the Early Dynastic
Period of Egypt Circa 3150 bce to 2613
BCE. he was an important - and
benevolent - god of Upper Egypt whose name was invoked for love spells and
inscribed on amulets which served as love charms. He was also the deity who
saved the sun god Ra from the serpent Apophis, an evil creature who tried to
stop the sun god's journey through the night sky toward dawn.

Medjay (also Medjai, Mazoi, Madjai, Mejay, Egyptian mḏꜣ.j, a
nisba of mḏꜣ,[1]) was a demonym used in various ways throughout ancient
Egyptian history to refer initially to a nomadic group from Nubia and later as
a generic term for desert-ranger police.[2]
Origins
Painted bull's skull from a Pan-Grave burial, dating to the
Second Intermediate Period
In the archaeological record, a culture known as the
Pan-Grave Culture[3] is generally considered by experts to represent the
Medjay.[4][5] This culture is named for its distinctive circular graves, found
throughout Lower Nubia and Upper Egypt, which date to the late Middle Kingdom
and Second Intermediate Period (1800-1550 BC).[4][5] The sudden appearance of
these graves in the Nile Valley suggests that they represent an immigrant
population, while the presence of Nerita shells in many of them suggests their
occupants came from the Eastern Desert between the Nile and the Red Sea.[4]
Other objects commonly found in these graves include the painted skulls of various
horned animals, which are found either arranged in a circle around the burial
pit or placed in separate offering pits.[4]
The first mention of the Medjay in written records dates
back to the Old Kingdom, when they were listed among other Nubian peoples in
the Autobiography of Weni, who was at the time a general serving under Pepi I
Meryre (reigned 2332–2287 BC).[6] During this time the term "Medjay"
referred to people from the land of Medja, a district thought to be located
just east of the Second Nile Cataract in Nubia. Nubia was referred to as
Ta-Seti, meaning "Land of the bow", by the Egyptians and the people
there (including the Medjay) were renown for their military skills,
particularly as archers.[7][8] A decree from Pepi I's reign, which lists different
officials (including an Overseer of the Medja, Irtjet and Satju), illustrates
that Medja was at least to some extent subjugated by the Egyptian
government.[9] Since the time of Alan Gardiner, a common account has been that
the Medjay constituted an ethnic group. More recent work suggests that the term
was initially an Egyptian exonym, and that those identified as Medjay may not
have considered themselves to have a shared ethnicity, and certainly were not a
unified polity.[10]
Did you know that the Valkyries are able to do a ‘hamr’
(shapeshift) of a raven to gain the ability to fly.
In Völsunga saga, it is described how Óðinn sends an
‘óskmey’ (wish maiden) to king Sigi’s wife. In the story, it is told that she
puts on a ‘krákuhamr’ (raven’s skin) to fly.
Among other magic that the Valkyries have is that they can
speak and understand the language of birds, which was considered extraordinary
in ancient times. This is how Þorbjörn Hornklofi talks about a conversation
between a valkyrie and a raven in his Haraldskvæði (Harald’s poem), which is
also called Hrafnsmál (Raven’s speech) for this reason.
There the valkyrie asks about the course of the great battle
on Hafursfjörður, the raven answers her and the conversation goes well because
she knows the speech of birds.
