The curse of Net

AvatarAstralnaut881 min to read

Has anyone ever heard of this? The gods mentioned this to me more than once and while I looked it up I could find no information on this. Might anyone here have been told about this ancient prophecy?

Hello Astralnaut88, and welcome. Thank you for bringing this forward and for the seriousness with which you approached it. When a name comes through more than once, it deserves a real answer rather than a quick dismissal, and the fact that you kept looking even when nothing surfaced tells me you are treating this the right way.

Let me be straightforward with you first. After going through the rendered Temple of Zeus, Library of Thoth, and TOZRituals material, no page is titled "The Curse of Net," and no published teaching uses that exact phrase. I cannot point you to a public reference and say "here it is." If a teaching with that exact title exists, it has not been published through the Temple's public channels, and that absence itself is meaningful information for how to proceed.

The name "Net" almost certainly points you toward the ancient Egyptian goddess Net, also written Neith (Netjer Net), whose cult center was Sais in the Nile Delta. She appears in some of the oldest strata of Egyptian religion, and in general Egyptological tradition she is associated with weaving, war, and creation. The Coffin Texts and other ancient Egyptian sources place her among the oldest deities, and her name does surface in the kind of mythological and ritual environment where a term like "curse" would not be out of place conceptually. What I want to be clear about is that the rendered Temple of Zeus corpus does not contain a dedicated page on Neith, and no Net or Neith ritual page was found on TOZRituals in the public corpus, so I cannot link you to a whole Net ritual as written. I will not invent one or substitute something else in its place.

The on-topic background that does exist is the Temple of Zeus article Curses of the Gods, which places divine curses squarely inside the ancient Egyptian heka tradition. It discusses the Tutankhamun hieroglyphic warnings, the Coffin Texts (including Spell 261, where heka is declared a force that existed with the Lord of the Universe before there were two things in this world), and the Execration Texts from Mirgissa and Saqqara, and it makes the point that the Egyptian priesthood treated divine utterances as real, engineered acts of magickal power rather than metaphor. So the general idea that an ancient goddess could be associated with a curse is not foreign to the tradition that article describes. That article, however, does not name Neith or "Net" and does not constitute a source for the specific term you are asking about, and I would be doing you a disservice if I blurred those two.

This is where the Clergy's standing guidance on receiving messages becomes directly useful for your situation. How To Interpret and Understand The Messages Of The Gods by High Priest Zevios Metathronos makes two points that hit your situation squarely. First, when a name or phrase repeats, that repetition is a signal to take it seriously, but also a signal to slow down, because a repeated fragment is not yet a complete teaching. Second, partial messages can be filtered by interference, distorted, or simply arrive incomplete, and the right response is to keep a careful record, persist in asking, and not assume you have understood the whole thing on first contact. Acting on a fragment as if it were the finished teaching is one of the classic traps that article warns against.

You will also find Ask The Gods: "But I Cannot" by High Priest Zevios Metathronos very useful here, because it is essentially the Temple's answer to the exact problem you are running into. You have heard something, you cannot verify it from the public corpus, and you are wondering whether the communication itself is sound. The sermon is direct that communication with the Gods is

I believe Neith could be the Egyptian name for the Canaanite Goddess Anat; the attributes are almost the same, although this is just a conjecture and I am not entirely sure about it.

the advice the bot has given makes sense so I would advise following it. It won't hurt to look thru the articles it suggests and those could lead to something else. I will also add that doing more general meditating would help because stregnthing all of your abilities to hear the gods is always a good thing.
