This song came through just in time for the observance of the Birth of NebtHet in July 2020, as part of a now yearly offering of fresh new music for the Kemetic New Year, 38,787.
The lyrics are taken from my notes from 2 fantastic books by Spiritual Preceptor Sebai Maa, Dr. Muata Ashby: Temple of the Soul and Pert M Heru Vol 3.
lyrics
NebtHet represents Mortality & Physicality. She is the Mother of Anpu, the Cosmic Force of Discernment & knowing the difference between the Real & the Unreal.
The Union of NebtHet & Asar, the husband of her twin sister, represents the incarnation of the Soul into the Physical Body. We are instructed to not apply human standards to the Neters, because they are not only spiritual being, they are forces of nature & operate under a different system.
The Teachings expressed in this Devotional World Music come from my studies at Kemet University with Spiritual Preceptors Sebai Maa ( Dr. Muata Ashby) & Seba Dja (Dr.Karen Ashby). For more information, visit EgyptianYoga.com.

Nebthet is what the Soul Impregnates w/its life giving essence
Nature, NebtHet, receives the Seed of Asar, the Spirit
According to the natural law
Everything that’s born must die and move on
In original form, Asar was detached from nature
Timeless, immortal and free from passion
Intoxication with worldliness, his own Creation,
Led to the birth of discernment and discrimination
Nebthet represents
The lower nature of matter
It binds, fetters and condenses
Which dulls the intellect and intoxicates the mind and senses
NebtHet, the all encompassing physical domain
The material substance of existence
Temporal consciousness
Time and space awareness
Chaos and dissolution
NebtHet is the Night
Things which come into being and then die
Transient aspects of Creation
Temporal and fleeting human existence
