Welcome to Gaia! ::

I question if these two deties would really work together. To me it doesn't seem like They would. From what I understand Anpu only deals with mumification and the judging of the hearts against the feather of Ma'at and Hades watches over the Underworld. So to me they would not have contact with each other even if for some reason the Greeks and the Kemetics shared the same Underworld.

I'm just wondering what you guys think. I'm just probably against the idea since two of my friends are trying to mix pantheons without really knowing much about them. The other day the one was trying to tell me he was the child of Hades and Bast and I asked him about Bast and he said that she was goddessof death and reincarnation(I wanted to punch him so bad because he later said She was also goddess of vampires) and todaythe other said that Anpu and Hades were trying to both claim him.

The problem is this person thinks he's the repear and has special access to all the gods. Plus he was saying it was like in Percy Jackson.

But you're right that there shouldn't be a problem with a person honoring both of Them. Part of what was bugging me was that he was trying to tell me that They ruled over the same thing.

Well, I don't think it would do that well, to be honest.Maybe separate, but to try and work with the two simultaneously probably isn't the greatest idea.

I'm not sure Hades or Bast would be too thrilled to hear that this kid's insisting they copulated. From what I've read, Bast is likened to Artemis, that is, she was probably a virgin goddess. She is also the Eye of Ra and spent more time protecting and defending Ra, as a warrior goddess would.

I'm not sure. I can understand if he kept them both separate, different altars and items for each pantheon, but putting them together like that probably isn't a good idea.

And no, Bastet is not the goddess of vampires, that's one of the dumbest things I've heard all night confused

I could be wrong- but if I recall my history classes at all, the Greeks had a practice of equating their gods to other people's gods. It's possible that the Greeks equated Bast with Artemis as part of their worldview.

Yeah- I don't know much about it, North African gods never had much interest for me, and I was more thinking about how people could think they were similar instead of wondering if they're right. sweatdrop

All I know is that some of the names we usually see for Egyptian gods aren't Egyptian- they're Greek. sweatdrop

It was the Greeks. And Esiris was rightabout the names. Anpu=Anubis Djehuti=Thoth Hwt Hwr= Hathor Aset=Isis
Just to name a few

Most Kemetics would say yes more or less I think. They tend to associate the Greek names with different practices than Kemetic ones. When I talk to Djehuti I call Him by both names and He doesn't seem to mind.
