    Personalized Pantheon?

    I only serve 14 of the Egyptian gods, I categorized them as such

    Elder gods:

    Amun
    Ra
    Nut
    Geb
    Apep
    Thoth

    Lesser Gods:

    Osiris
    Isis
    Set
    Maat
    Anubis
    Horus
    Hathor/bast/seckmet

    Am I doing anything wrong?

    Well, how are you using the term lesser here? Lesser as in younger, as in less relevant to you, as less powerful, or as something else? Because depending on how you're using it, there could be some issues there.

    Only other things I would note, mythologically speaking Apep isn't really a God as the other Gods are. Sort of falls into it's own category. Also, you have Hathor, Bast and Sekhmet all lumped up into one Deity there, which they are not. Sekhmet and Hathor are somewhat like two sides of the same coin, so that's fine, but Bast is a separate Goddesses from those two.

      "Lesser" as in lesser than the Elder Gods who seem to have existed before the others also I consider Apep a god of chaos unlike most people who consider him a demon. About hathor/seckmet/bast Im still not sure about them Ive recived mixed teachings about that.

          I've always knows Ap/ep as nothing but the opposite of Ma'at. It is uncreation, destruction, raw negativity, and nothingness. I wouldn't consider Ap/ep anywhere near a demon, let alone a god. Set is chaos, itself, whereas Ap/ep would be uncreation. Not death, nor chaos, nor destruction, nor ending, nor misfortune. Honestly, I would not honour Ap/ep at all, as it is literally the force of uncreation, undoing, nothingness. To honour him would be to dishonour the gods, themselves, I personally believe. I also see the gods as completely balanced, and equal. Everything plays its part in existence (except for unexistence, Ap/ep).

          As far as categorizing, I would personally honor the Ogdoad as the "Elder" gods, as they are the "the primal, fundamental state of the beginning, they are what always was." (Ref: Wikipedia) They are paired as male/female aspects:
          Naunet and Nu - The primordial waters
          Amaunet and Amun - Air, space, etc
          Kauket and Kuk - Darkness
          Hauhet and Huh - Time, literally "infinity/eternity"
          Though, they were unbalanced and after Ra awakens/is born/is created, they begin creation.
          Everything I post is to be assumed UPG unless otherwise noted.

            I know that her original name is also Aset.
            Am I right?

              The Kemetic form of Isis is Aset, yes.

                I also have a personalized pantheon. I especially focus on:
                Djehuty;
                Bast;
                Geb;
                Re.

                But I also turn to Anubis, Isis and Hor when there's a need.
                My experience with Set is quite troublesome. I started worshiping him when I was a beginner, but it didn't last for long.

                  I only serve 2 of the Egyptian pantheon and they are Anubis and Isis. Anubis came to me in a time when I really needed him. I do appreciate the other deities and worship them when I need them, but Anubis and Isis are the ones I really serve.
