Wep Ronpet

Graphite Pencil on 11 x 14 Bristol board.

Wep Ronpet is Kemetic New Year, celebrated within the Kemetic Orthodox Faith. Before each New Year, there as the "Days which are not Days", which myth explains as the birthdays of Wesir (Osiris), Heru-wer (Elder Horus), Set, Aset (Isis) and Nebt-het (Nepthys).
In the Myth, Ra forbade Nut to give birth on any of the days that he created, and thusly the Sky Goddess could not give birth to her children despite her labouring. Djheuti (Thoth), took pitty on Nut at hearing her cries, and tricked the Moon (Konshu) in a game so that He could gather up enough light to add five extra days on the year, and allow Nut to birth her children.
