🖤 Who Is Anubis?

Anubis (Inpu or Anpu) is the ancient Egyptian god of death, mummification, and the safe passage of souls.

He stands at the threshold between the living and the dead — ensuring truth, protection, and dignity for those making their final journey.

To the living, Anubis is a guardian against spiritual harm, a guide through shadow work, and a reminder that death is transformation, not an ending.

🐾 Signs Anubis Might Be Reaching Out

Anubis often communicates through symbols of death, protection, and truth:

Repeated sightings or dreams of jackals, black dogs, or wolves

Sudden interest in ancient Egypt or funerary art

Dreams of deserts, tombs, or scales

Feeling a calm, watchful presence during grief or fear

Pull toward shadow work, ancestor veneration, or protective magic

✨ How to Connect with Anubis Gently

Anubis responds to respect, stillness, and truth.

Start by:

Lighting a black candle in quiet space, focusing on gratitude for his guardianship

Placing an image or small figurine of a jackal on your altar

Offering water, incense, or bread as a sign of honor

Say aloud:

“Anubis, Guardian of the Gate, I honor your watch and welcome your guidance through what must be faced.”

⚖️ Soul-Weighing Reflection Ritual

You’ll need:

A feather (real or symbolic)

A small stone or token

A candle

Steps:

Light the candle and hold the feather in one hand, the stone in the other.

Reflect on what feels light in your life — and what feels heavy.

Ask:

“Guide me in truth. Show me what can be released.”

Place the stone aside as symbolic release; keep the feather on your altar for clarity.
