HOW TO setup an altar for the Netcharu (Neteru) the Kemetic Shaman Way
In this video, “HOW TO setup an altar for the Netcharu (Neteru) the Kemetic Shaman Way” I share how to set up an altar for the Netcharu (Neteru) from a Kemetic Shaman perspective. What a lot of people don’t tell you about spirits, deities, gods/goddesses, saints, etc., is that you cannot just walk up to them, make an offering, ask for something you want, and expect to get it. Hollyweird makes it seem so simple but spirits are no different from people. If someone walked up to you and gave you the things you like and asked for a favor, would you help them?
So, you have to establish a rapport with them. Here are some general instructions that can be adapted and modified for any of the Kemetic netcharu or deities and spirits you are working with. For the record, based upon my experience, the Netcharu are not gods and goddesses but laws and principles of nature, NTR, or Netchar. The laws or principles of Netachar exist throughout the Universe and within our being. Our spirit guides will help us to work with the netcharu and its spirits, but you have to establish a rapport to do so. Once you do, there will be little subtle signs that the spirits will give you. That will let you know there is a bridge built between you and them.
The altar setup that I am sharing in this video is for the Npu (aka Anubis in Greek), who is the Kemetic equivalent of the Santeria Ellegua and Palo Monte Lucero. Although, this is a mock altar and I am sharing general instructions. If you are working with your ancestors and spirit guides, you will get the general idea of how to setup an altar space for any netcharu, deity, god/goddess, saint, etc.
I like this altar setup the most because it grows over time and really works when you connect with the spirits of Npu. Once you establish a connection with your Npus, they will ask for more tools to assist you. For instance, as you can see in the photo, there is an open padlock (to unlock doors denying you access), a key (to open all doors), etc. As mentioned in the video, the earth inside of this altar can come from your front door, cemetery, bank, place of business, etc.
I also discussed simple rituals that you can use to petition the netcharu using candles, as well as how to pay your spirits for their assistance.
I hope you enjoy “HOW TO setup an altar for the Netcharu (Neteru) the Kemetic Shaman Way” and that the video is helpful.

How to Discover Your Kemetic Spirit Guides
In “How to Discover Your Kemetic Spirit Guides” I share how I moved from Christianity to Kemetic Spirituality with my spirit guides’ help. This is a very interesting topic because most of us born and raised in a Protestant Christian society, have been taught to only believe and follow the preacher. Anything in regards to spirit work, psychic talents, following your intuition, etc. was greatly discouraged and is often discounted as “works of the devil.” However, if you are willing to spend time developing your skills and follow the signs. Anyone can wade through the b.s. and discover their Kemetic spirit guides, which are ancestral spirits who may come from different cultures, but what I have learned are totally unique to those of us who are following the Kemetic path.

How I Honor My Ancestors the Kemetic Shaman Way
In How I Honor My Ancestors the Kemetic Shaman Way, I share from my personal experience how to build three ancestral altars. I have used all three altars, and currently I am empowered by the third because it honors my Kongo-Angolan ancestry.

The reason I like the third altar so much is because it is a play on the term KAMTA, it honors our ancestors who courageously stole away during slavery and met in the fields, and hush harbors to worship, and. It draws heavily on the Maa Aankh and the dikenga dia Kongo (Kongo Cosmogram).
