Y’all need to stop whitewashing the Egyptian Gods. ESPECIALLY ANUBIS!!! He’s not the emo white boy of your dreams🙄
He’s an EGYPTIAN!!!
(I didn’t make any of these moodboards and I do not own any of them.)
THIS IS NOT GODS OF EGYPT. TAKE YOUR WHITE FANTASIES AND KEEP THEM IN HOLLYWOOD. 👏🏻 Our 👏🏻 deities👏🏻 are👏🏻 not👏🏻 were 👏🏻 not👏🏻 can 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 will 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 be👏🏻 white. Use this mantra and meditate deeply on it. Next time you create a moodboard, think on this mantra. Think on it, act on it, and make sure your moodboards are appropriately envisioning Egyptian culture in a historically accurate manner. I mean historically as well, meaning during the time these deities were primarily worshipped by the ancient Egyptians. Please & thank you!!
(& if you can source something scholarly to uphold that the skin tone you’ve been using is accurate, then by all means I’d love to be educated and I’m sure we all would be. I love new discoveries.)
This list has been updated over the years and will continued to be updated over time. If you re-post this elsewhere, kindly credit me because it’s taken a long time to compile what I feel are useful resources on the following topics. The very basics are covered in my FAQ.

Notes: please take care before using herbs for medicinal and/or supplemental purposes. Many herbs are toxic (some authors fail to mention this!) and/or have harmful side-effects. Always do research and consult a professional before use.
approach Llewellyn-published books with caution — there are some great ones, but many aren’t well researched and may contain misinformation.
if all else fails, Google the author and ask around to see what people have to say about them – many bad authors have entire pages or discussions dedicated on why to avoid them!
always fact check information (especially if it involves ingesting anything or putting anything on the skin — just because an ingredient is natural does not mean it isn’t harmful/toxic)
