In this sacred moment, we come together as a group, honoring the journey ahead and aligning our hearts with the deeper purpose of our pilgrimage. Beneath the watchful gaze of the Sphinx, we invoke clarity, protection, and divine remembrance, setting our intentions as we step into the sacred energies of Kemet.

From this powerful initiation, we journey to Saqqara, home of the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the first monumental stone structure of ancient Kemet, designed by the brilliant architect and sage Imhotep.

Our day begins with an awe-inspiring journey to the Great Pyramid complex, where the timeless monuments of Giza rise from the golden sands, standing as sentinels of ancient wisdom. With the morning sun illuminating their sacred geometry, we set out on a camel excursion across the Giza Plateau, experiencing these magnificent structures as travelers once did—moving in harmony with the desert winds, attuning to the energy of this powerful landscape.

We take time to explore the Great Pyramid’s temple complex, marveling at the engineering mastery and cosmic alignment embedded within its design.

Dedicated to Hathor, the Great Mother, Goddess of Joy and the Stars, this sacred site holds the mysteries of beauty, healing, and feminine power. As we walk beneath its intricately carved ceilings, adorned with the famed Zodiac of Dendera, we step into an ancient star map that connects heaven and earth. Here, amidst the towering columns and vibrant reliefs, we attune to the temple’s harmonious frequencies, receiving Hathor’s blessings of creativity, abundance, and spiritual awakening.

The Temple of Abydos, a revered sanctuary of Osiris (Osir), holds the keys to the mysteries of resurrection, transformation, and eternal life. This ancient site, steeped in divine energy, is home to the enigmatic Osirion, where one of the oldest known depictions of the Flower of Life is etched into the stone—a sacred geometric pattern representing the interconnectedness of all creation. As we stand before this profound symbol, we align with the universal blueprint of life, just as initiates of the past sought deeper wisdom within these sacred halls. Walking in the footsteps of seekers who came to Abydos for renewal and ascension, we attune to the temple’s timeless currents of rebirth and cosmic awakening.

Aboard our private dahabiya, we surrender to the gentle rhythms of the river, embraced by the beauty of golden sands, lush palm groves, and the whispers of sacred temples along the shore. As we approach the Esna Lock, we witness the graceful dance of water levels shifting—an age-old passage symbolizing transformation and flow. This journey is more than a crossing; it is an initiation, inviting us to align with the currents of change, renewal, and divine harmony.

Oct 14, Day 10 - Edfu Temple and Gabel El Selsla

Our journey leads us to the Temple of Edfu, the majestic stronghold of Horus, the Falcon God, where the eternal battle between light and shadow is inscribed upon its sacred walls. Here, Horus is not only the warrior avenger but also the Divine Child, born of Isis, embodying the promise of renewal, protection, and the triumph of spirit. As we stand before his towering form, we connect with the essence of divine rebirth, inner strength, and the sacred destiny within us all.

Drifting onward, we arrive at Gebel El-Silsila, the great stone quarry where the sacred temples of Egypt were born. Here, among the echoes of ancient artisans, we honor the raw creative force that shaped the monuments of Kemet. This place of thresholds and transformation invites us to reflect on what we are building in our own lives—both seen and unseen—as we continue our sacred pilgrimage.

This unique double temple is dedicated to two deities—Sobek, the primordial crocodile god of protection and fertility, and Horus the Elder (Heru-wer), the falcon god of divine vision and kingship. Here, opposites are honored as complementary forces, reminding us that creation arises from the dance between shadow and light, chaos and order.

Kom Ombo is also a place of healing wisdom, once home to an ancient medical school and sacred texts detailing remedies and surgical practices.
