Submerging Sekhmet – a 7/7 River Thames Ceremony for protection of London

Submerging Sekhmet- A 7-7 London protection Ceremonyby Waterloo Bridge, river Thames

Few months ago, a friend was talking about the story of a statue of Sekhmet (the Egyptian warrior Goddess) – submerged in river Thames in London, many years ago..for the protection of London. No one is definitely sure if this is actually true. So I spontaneously said that we could make it come true..and really submerge such a statue. My friend Caroline Wise (a Priestess in the Fellowship of Isis) suggested such a `Ceremony’ should be worked magically to protect London and all of in London..

London has been `attacked’ by Terrorists in recent times.. as recent as 2005, and it had come out of the blue. So a protection ceremony …to take place on the anniversary of the last attack (7th July 2005) seem the most suitable date.

Wikipedia has this entry for the `7/7 Bombings’

“The 7 July 2005 London bombings (often referred to as 7/7) were a series of co-ordinated suicide attacks in London which targeted civilians using the public transport system during the morning rush hour.

On the morning of Thursday, 7 July 2005, four Islamist home-grown terrorists detonated four bombs, three in quick succession aboard London Underground trains across the city and, later, a fourth on a double-decker bus in Tavistock Square. Fifty-two civilians and the four bombers were killed in the attacks, and over 700 more were injured.

The explosions were caused by homemade organic peroxide–based devices packed into rucksacks. The bombings were followed exactly two weeks later by a series of attempted attacks.”

So we are making preparations.. for this simple Ceremony, to take place on a small but significant part by the river Thames.. on this coming 7th July 2013…just before Sunset..

Sekhmet is also a Sun-Goddess…one I have worshiped for almost 2 decades…in private and asked for protection at times of personal need.. In my altar, she takes the form of

a small clay statue that I had hand-made that long ago. I have made 2 further statues…but given them to friends. Or rather, I made them specifically for certain friends. So it will be my privilege to make a new clay Sekhmet statue once more.. This one will be special..in that, the clay for it will be taken from the banks of the river Thames itself.. and later as a fully made statue, it will be returned ceremonially to the Thames!

If you live in or near London, and would like to attend this ceremony, keep in touch…subscribe to my blog, and I’ll post more details…near the time.
