ematsen:

I’ve been wanting a short morning ritual to perform because I don’t usually have the spoons or time to do senut daily or in the morning. (When I do senut, it’s usually in the evening.) So I made one up! I thought it might be useful to share, since I’m sure people are in the same boat as me here.

Mini Morning Ritual

Do you usual morning routine if you have one.

Come before your altar/shrine and offer henu/bow/make a respectful gesture. Say hello/good morning!

Refill or empty water bowls and offering containers as needed.

Offer another bow/henu gesture.

Light incense if you have any.

Recite the Morning Prayer to Netjer.

Offer henu again.

Remove the foot as you leave (Walk backwards a few steps from the shrine and move your foot in a sweeping motion, then walk up again. Compare to closing a circle, it signals completion.), and remember not to leave your incense burning unattended!
