Ptah as the cause of the problem: Given that Ptah is usually very helpful, if he appears here, it’s possible that he’s talking about technical issues you might be having. Or some sort of practical solution that is evading you right now.
Do you feel weakened by the role that patriarchy is playing in your life? Or do you have some sort of aggressive male energy around you that is making you uncomfortable?
Ptah is very much about positive male energy, so if he appears in this position, it’s possible that somehow that male energy has gone awry. Are you been subjected to (or subjecting someone else to) banality, or chauvinism? Are you behaving in a destructive way? Or are you on the receiving end of someone else’s destructive behaviour?
Is there some sort of misogyny apparent in your life, and specifically in the situation that you are asking about here?
Or is it simply that you or someone close to you is refusing to contribute to the larger community?
