Ok so I wanted to go through the 42 purifications and make sure I am understanding them as well as applying them to the best of my ability in the Kemetic faith. Sort of like using them as a 10 commandments deal. I know that these were actually a "spell" to help get you into the underworld after you died but why piss off a god while living if you dont have to?
These are my take on the 42 purifications
1. Dont do bad things
2. dont steal
3. dont be greedy
4. dont steal
5. dont kill
6. Dont waste food
7. dont corrupt
8. dont take a gods offering
9. dont lie
10. dont steal (food)
11. dont be bad temepered (hot headed, gloomy)
12. dont go where you are not suppost to (tresspass)
13. dont kill sacred cattle
14. dont lie to the court
15. dont take from someone who needs it
16. dont eavesdrop (dont spy)
17. dont gossip
18 dont file frivolous lawsuits
19. dont cheat
20. dont be a cheater
21. dont be a bully
22. dont stray from Truth (Ma'at)
23. dont loose your cool
24. listen to wise council
25. dont fight over stupid things
26. dont hurt others by word or deed
27. dont molest children
28. dont lie
29. dont slander
30. dont fight
31. dont be impatient
32. dont dishonor a god
33. dont talk to hear yourself talk
34. hear no evil, speak no evil see no evil
35. dont work magic against the king (government)
36. dont stir crap up
37. dont yell
38. dont work magic against a god, dont do magic against a gods will
39. dont be arrogant
40. dont make choices that only benefit you and not the whole group
41. dont accept/sell stolen goods, dont make yourself out to be better then you are
42. honor all gods.
Ok again these are kind of my takes on them and I did compare a few with an independent kametic recon's youtube channel as well as Falkners translation. Please if I am wrong, correct me. I just want to make sure I am understanding these things and/or applying them correctly.
I also am interested in knowing who the identifiable gods are that you are confessing to. Like 10 being Ptah...at least I think its him...Anyhow thanks for any help!

I don't think 10 is Ptah. I tried to use the links I had to the KO where I had gotten Tamera's translations but they finally actually got around to updating the site so I'm gonna have to see if I can find updated links. Most of the deities mentioned are minor deities. Though I know Djehuty is mentioned in the third one. Bast is in there. Set I believe is in there but I can't remember which one. Neferem is Ptah's son. He's farther down on the list. Ihy is one of the lunar gods.
And there's no problem with using them in the commandment type style. It all really comes down to how you view ma'at. If upholding those is how you see upholding ma'at then go for it.

In Falkners translation I believe it says "O Green Flame who comes forth from Memphis..." That's why I thought Ptah as he is depicted usually as green and his primary worship was Memphis...Could be wrong though...
