Kemet Folklore Archive
You can also find these articles—and many more—within the main Grimoire Blog.
Not every story in Kemet was carved into temple walls.
Some were spoken quietly—about spirits encountered in dreams, strange happenings along the Nile at night, demons named only in spells, and omens that felt too specific to be coincidence. These were the stories people told to make sense of what slipped through the cracks of order: the moments when Ma’at held, but only just.
This archive gathers those stories.
Here you’ll find folklore-inspired narratives, mythic retellings, and speculative reconstructions rooted in ancient Egyptian belief but told through a human lens. These are tales of liminal encounters, afterlife journeys, protective spirits, chaotic forces, and gods behaving less like cosmic principles and more like presences—watching, intervening, responding.
Some stories draw directly from known myths. Others expand on fragments, side notes, or questions left unanswered by formal texts. All of them are written with respect for the culture they come from, while acknowledging that folklore has always been a living, breathing thing—reshaped by the teller, the time, and the need that gave it voice.

Folklore has never been finished.
It grows where curiosity lingers and where someone asks, “What if there’s more to that story?” This archive is meant to evolve—shaped not only by research, but by fascination. By the questions that refuse to leave you alone.
If there’s a god, spirit, monster, place, ritual, or fragment of Egyptian belief you’d like to see explored here—whether as a retelling, a quiet encounter, or a deeper descent into the Duat—you’re invited to speak up. Suggestions, curiosities, and lingering “I wonder if…” moments are how folklore stays alive.
