What exactly is Gods & Glyphs?

Gods & Glyphs is a collection of Gods/Ntru and Hieroglyphics/Mdu Ntr, that have been hand crafted to provide a modern perspective on ancient Egyptian/Kemetic culture. It’s bringing the past to the present, and fusing it with today’s pop culture in the form of toys, books, cartoons, and various other media.

THE MISSION

The main mission of Gods & Glyphs is to serve as a way to introduce audiences to the folklore and spiritual figures from ancient East African cultures and beliefs. Not only that, but also to assist in facilitating an understanding and appreciation for the powerful symbols and language that permeates every part of their society as well.    

Dope! So what are the funds going toward?

The funds collected will go toward all printing and manufacturing costs for cards, vinyl figures, and branded merchandise. As of the launch of this campaign, the Gods & Glyphs rewards are at the 80% completion goal. 20% of the funds will be allocated toward hiring collaborators to assist with color shading/lighting and background painting in order to speed up the production of the project, with the remaining going toward reward fulfillment and project fees (Card Processing & BackerKit).
