I barely see any posts about Shu, so I wanted to give him some love!

I've been connecting with Shu recently. I keep having incredibly vivid "visions" of him, and I decided to draw how he shows up to me. He definitely comes off like Fujin from Mortal Kombat (11) to me, so I took a lot of inspiration from him. Some things that were specifically shown to me were his hair (long and white), his eyes (a really pretty icy blue), a robe he wore (open, but a sheer light blue and incredibly flowy), and some white flowers (roses, I think. I was shown that while drawing this).

Shu is an incredible presence. He's incredibly gentle and softspoken, but a gentleman as well! (The wind has blown open doors while I've entered and exited places before, which I like to think was him.)

Dua Shu!

I posted a question several days ago asking if it'd be okay to worship Dionysos, given that I am a Kemetic Polytheist and don't connect with the Greek gods. Well, that night, I decided to do an offering to him.

I made some tealights for him, had some milk, and a 🍃special brownie🍃 (that I asked him to guide my experience with).

And. Wow. I could feel his presence the entire ritual, and I ended up having an incredible night. Since then, I've been offering him incense and a brownie every night, just so I can connect with him.

Connecting more with Dionysos has allowed me to connect to my patron Ausir (Osiris) as well. I usually approach Ausir as the King of the Gods and Judge of the Deceased, so getting to interact with his rebirth and rejuvenation aspects has been amazing.

Dionysos, too, fits into my Kemetic practice amazingly. He's comfortable with me praying to him as if he were a Kemetic god (with the hand positions and saying dua), which I suspect comes from him being a "foreigners god".

Dua Dionysos! The vine-crowned liberator, who frees me from my monotonous shackles with his wine-stained fingers!

Praise to Dionysos!
