Hermopolis prayerbook :: Kandhar Anubhuti
About me

I’m a writer and poet from Russia. I write mostly science fiction books and mystical/esoteric poetry, filled with imagery taken from Alchemy, greek and egyptian myths. My poems were published in several antologies of works of modern russian poets: “Near the Heaven”, “Three dots of No Return” and “All senses of the Universe” (the project I’m most proud of - anthology of hermetic poetry we created with cooperation of friends. This book is our collective gift in honor of Hermes the Thrice Greatest).

I’m a president of St.Petersburg chapter of International Alchemy Guild. I’m deeply interested in Spiritual Alchemy and in different aspects of western esoteric tradition. I follow hermetic philosophy and viewpoints. However I also admire medieval history and spent long period of my live studying Christian teaching, first russian Orthodoxy and after it, Catholicism. My really big love from the childhood is ancient Egypt, and I also have some knowledge of hieroglyphics (but need to study much, much more).
I love traveling, I’ve been in Egypt many times and hopefully will go there again =)

My [alchemical]-spiritual-religious journey started, when I was 12 years old. When I was 15, I joined Russian Orthodox Church (I was baptized there when I was a kid), however, left it in 2005 to become Roman Catholic.
However, the existence of the Gods of Egypt (Netjeru) was given to me in obvious experience - and I’m trying to live with it =)

And followers of the Netjeru may call me by name Djd-Djhwtj.iwf.ankh.t :)

In January 2015, I made a dedication & private vow to serve as hm(t)-Ntr to Lord Djehuty (Thoth-Hermes-Djehuty, the Thrice Greatest, Lord of Khemenu)

… All I ever wanted:

But the spiritual journey continued into unexpected direction.

In the days of Skanda Shasti / Soora Samharam 2016, my life took another significant change when most wonderful, magnificent and loving Lord Skanda/Kartikeya/Murugan, second son of Shiva and leader of the Devas army, the One who rides on the peacock and holds the mighty Shakti-Vel… decided to make most overwhelming appearance in my life.
(And so He was here and He was here to stay!)
He won my heart, love and devotion, and He accepted me with loving embrace.

So I honor [closely work with] two pantheons now: Kemetic (Netjeru) and Hindu Gods, and this path is illuminated with divine Love: bhakti-devotion, upholding Maat, following the Djarma.
