    What It Is

    The first of the five intercalary days that stand outside the twelve months of the Kemetic civil year. Sacred to Wesir (Osiris), lord of the green rising, the grain that dies and returns. The old year has ended; the new has not yet begun. The veil between the seen and unseen is at its thinnest, and every act carries oracular weight.

    How to Observe It

    Do not start large new undertakings. Offer bread, water, or a green branch to the ancestors and to what in you has died and is quietly readying to rise. Sit at dusk and listen — Osiris speaks in silence.
