About the event
The Wag Festival: A Cosmic Commemoration
In the ancient sands of Egypt, where the Nile whispered secrets and the pyramids touched the heavens, a sacred day unfolded—the Wag Festival.
🌟 Osiris’s Legacy:
The festival was a tapestry woven with threads of memory. It honored Osiris, the god of fertility, resurrection, and the afterlife. His story echoed through time—a tale of betrayal, dismemberment, and eventual ascension. On this day, hearts turned toward the constellation Orion, where Osiris now resided. The hunter’s form blazed across the night sky, a celestial marker of divine transformation.
🚣♂️ Papyrus Boats and Silent Rivers:
As the sun dipped below the horizon, people gathered by rivers and graves. In their hands, they cradled small boats—crafted from papyrus reeds. These vessels symbolized passage. They sailed westward, toward the setting sun, mirroring Osiris’s journey. Each boat carried memories, prayers, and love for the departed.
