Thank you for sharing. The Egyptian deities definitely have staying power for a reason!
Are you familiar with Ishtar / Inanna of the Mesopotamians? I used to perform ritual invocations of Her on every month in order to connect with the Divine Feminine at that level or in that way (however you want to say it). As a guy, I feel such practice helps to promote balance. Listening to Madonna and Gloria Estefan also help to that end. And no, I'm not being crass or facetious!
Here's a
poem/prayer I wrote of Her (the Divine Feminine, not necessarily Ishtar) personified as Lunar energy.

Pierce The Hollow
------------------------
“The mystery is concealed beneath the waters and the gate.
There are forty-five steps to the Ninth House (which some call the Second),
Then three to the Center,
Followed by An Hundred Fifty and Six.”
No, there’s nothing wrong...
This is the scene.
This is the scene in which the Lady Moon
Arrives to evoke the daily swoon
Of daylight in the firmament bright,
She commits it to sleep at the dawn of Her night;
With blessings far-woven through the tight-lipped trees
And aided by the tide of the silvery breeze,
She calls to Her seekers, She guides with Her Spell,
She leads us to the verge of the forgotten well
Of obscure dreams and paths unsought
And rapture cloaked and veiled seeing,
Behind the chrysalis of cynical thought,
Beyond the integument of material being.
Within, where the wind whisks soft that Silent pool
Brimming with Perception, yea, She dances in our soul,
Her holy feet barely but grazing the hallowed ground
As She swirls and She whirls and She twirls to the sound
Of euphonic violet laughter, lunar lucence of lissome love
Imbued for ever after! Inside and high above!!
She beckons! She beckons by irresistible grace,
A sigh in Her solace, Her starlit embrace...
She bears change like a psychogenic gem in Her crown
That pairs to the shimmer of Her celestial gown;
Her mirror unlighted, sharp crescent, shining sphere:
Mere projections of this Goddess, this fey mystical seer
Whose cheerful presence is the spirit of Her renown.
“Lady Moon, I hear!”
*Exeunt omnes. The curtain comes down.*
If I may ask, do you work solely with Egyptian deities, or do you incorporate other pantheons?
