When I first encountered a fellow Egyptian lineage sister in 2018, it felt like the beginning of something ancient and profound—something that had been stirring within me for much longer than I realized. Little did I know that this moment would mark the true awakening of my Egyptian lineage and the powerful journey that would unfold from that point forward.

It wasn’t just about reconnecting with the history of Egypt. No, it was much deeper. It was a journey of remembering my roots, a journey of tapping into the ancient wisdom and energies that had always been there, buried deep within me. It felt as though my soul was calling me home.

The Alchemy Movement and My Journey with Isa Ka Ra

My personal journey took a powerful turn in 2021 when I began working with my shamanic healer, Isa Ka Ra from The Alchemy Movement in Cape Town, South Africa. Isa was the guiding light who helped me through a deep process of healing, particularly with the divine feminine energy that had been wounded and fragmented within me for lifetimes.

Isa’s teachings weren’t just about healing in the traditional sense, they were about a deep spiritual alchemy—transforming wounds into wisdom and reconnecting with the most sacred parts of my soul. Through this transformative process, I began to remember my Egyptian lineage, and the signs started to appear, almost like a flood of forgotten memories.

I had always felt an inexplicable connection to Egypt, but it wasn’t until my work with Isa Ka Ra that the threads of this connection began to weave themselves together into a profound tapestry of remembrance. The divine feminine, the archetypes of Isis and Sekhmet, and the sacred power of the Ankh all began to make sense. It was as though the universe was guiding me back to my roots, one sign at a time.

Sekhmet’s call, A dream that changed everything

About three years ago, Sekhmet, the fierce lioness goddess of war, healing, and protection, came to me in a dream. It was not a gentle invitation. No, it was a powerful and unmistakable call—one that struck deep into my heart. In the dream, Sekhmet was fierce and commanding, urging me to work with her, to embrace her power and channel it for healing and transformation.

At the time, I was terrified.

I had heard of Sekhmet and knew of her mighty presence, but the idea of stepping into such raw, untamed power was daunting. I felt small, unworthy, and afraid to confront the shadows she would inevitably ask me to face. But the call was relentless. It kept coming, like an energy I could not escape.

For months that turned into years, I resisted.

It wasn’t until another profound experience occurred during a medicine wheel journey that things truly shifted. During this ceremony, as I sat in quiet reflection, the presence of Ra, Sekhmet’s father, came to me. It was as though the divine forces of Egypt, Ra’s solar energy, Sekhmet’s fierceness, and the balance of life and death, descended upon me with a clarity I could no longer ignore.

In that moment, I knew I had to embrace my Egyptian lineage fully. I could no longer avoid the call of Sekhmet, nor could I deny the power of Ra and Isis, who had been guiding me all along. My journey of remembering my roots had fully begun.

Embracing my Egyptian lineage through the power of the Ankh

As I continued to explore the mysteries of ancient Egypt, the symbols and teachings of my lineage began to flood my consciousness. One symbol stood out above all others: the Ankh, the key of life. This sacred symbol, which looks like a cross with a loop at the top, is an ancient representation of life, immortality, and divine energy.

The Ankh is not just a symbol—it’s an energetic tool. It is a representation of the life force that flows through everything, a reminder that we are divine beings, connected to the eternal flow of creation. In the Egyptian tradition, the Ankh was often used in rituals to unlock spiritual power, to heal, and to connect with the gods.

I began working closely with the Ankh in my spiritual practice. I would visualize it as a conduit for life energy, allowing me to tap into the flow of cosmic power that is always available to us. The more I worked with the Ankh, the more I felt the connection to my Egyptian ancestors, to the ancient healers, warriors, and priests who once used this symbol to align themselves with divine forces.

The Ankh became a powerful tool in my personal and spiritual life, helping me to heal emotional wounds, release limiting beliefs, and realign with my soul’s true purpose. It is a symbol that holds immense potential for personal transformation, and it has taught me that we, too, are keys to our own evolution.

Sekhmet, Isis, and Ra – The Divine Trinity of Egyptian spirituality

As I embraced my Egyptian lineage, I began to work more closely with the divine forces of Sekhmet, Isis, and Ra. These three deities represent different aspects of the divine feminine and masculine, and their energies have been integral to my own awakening.

Sekhmet, the lioness goddess, is the embodiment of fierce strength, transformation, and healing. She teaches us that we must confront our fears, our shadow selves, and our deepest wounds in order to heal, feeling is healing. She is the protector and the warrior who guards the sacred space of personal evolution. Working with Sekhmet has taught me how to embrace my own inner power, how to stand tall and fearless in the face of challenges, and how to heal myself through strength and self-love.

Isis, the Mother goddess, is the embodiment of magic, wisdom, and the divine feminine and my personal teacher of the ancient healing ways. She is the one who helps us weave the threads of life, balancing our emotions, our intuition, and our intellect. Isis is also known for her healing powers, particularly in the realms of spiritual and emotional healing. Through working with Isis, I’ve learned to honor my intuitive wisdom, trust the flow of life, and understand the magic that exists in every moment. Her energy has guided me through the most tender and vulnerable moments, teaching me that true power comes from love, nurturing, and inner knowing.

Ra, the Sun God, is the father of Sekhmet and the ultimate force of light, power, and creation. Ra’s energy represents the solar force that ignites the fire of life within us all. His teachings have helped me reconnect with the masculine aspect of the divine, powerful, transformative, and life-giving. Working with Ra has strengthened my connection to the universal forces of creation, helping me align my actions with my highest purpose and trust in the divine order of things.

Together, Sekhmet, Isis, and Ra form a sacred trinity that has become the foundation of my spiritual practice. They are the guiding forces that help me navigate the complexities of life, balancing strength with compassion, wisdom with action, and power with love.

The path forward continues the legacy of my Egyptian Lineage

Now, as I continue to deepen my connection to my Egyptian lineage, I feel an unwavering sense of purpose and empowerment. The ancient teachings of Egypt are not just historical relics—they are living, breathing energies that continue to influence and guide us today.

By embracing the sacred power of the Ankh, the wisdom of the Egyptian gods, and the strength of my ancestral roots, I am reminded that we are all part of an ancient and eternal lineage. Each one of us carries the potential for profound healing, transformation, and enlightenment.

If you feel the call to reconnect with your own lineage, whether Egyptian or otherwise, I encourage you to listen. The signs are always there, waiting for you to open your heart and soul to the power that flows through you.

The journey of awakening to your roots is not always easy, but it is always worth it. Embrace your divine heritage, honor the gods and goddesses who guide you, and remember that you hold within you the keys to your own evolution.
