Welcome to the home of Kemetic Orthodoxy! Ancient Egyptian religion lives again within the Kemetic Orthodox Religion, a current-day practice of the traditional spirituality of Kemet (known today as Egypt).
Kemetic Orthodoxy in practice is different from other "Egyptian" or "Kemetic" spiritual organizations based on New Age or Neo-Pagan models, most significantly in the areas of interaction with Deity, organization of priesthood, and liturgical practice.
If you've studied Kemetic at all, you'll recognize a good deal of them. Memorizing these won't be necessary, as you'll see them referred to on such a frequent basis that you'll soon become accustomed to their use and meaning. Read more about the kemetic language and its pronunciations here.

A collection of Kemetic literature arranged chronologically in three volumes: Old and Middle Kingdoms, The New Kingdom, and Late Period and beyond. Covers well-known Kemetic religious and philosophical texts and includes poetry, short stories and instructional literature.
Kemetic Orthodox devotion is divided into three main categories. First is the formal worship service, or the "state" ritual all members share in a formal fashion, with a trained and dedicated priesthood.
"Netjer," a Kemetic word meaning "divine power," is the One Self-Created Deity which manifests in myriads of forms, which we call Names (Kemetic Orthodoxy is a monolatry, a specialized form of polytheism that is NOT monotheism -- see the "What is Kemetic Orthodoxy?" page for more information).
If you are interested in getting to know Kemetic language, consult our House of Netjer reading list, or consider taking a correspondence course with Rev. Tamara, offered in both the Middle Egyptian and the Coptic stages via our Imhotep Kemetic Orthodox Seminary.
If you have a question about persons claiming to be ordained by or affiliated with the Kemetic Orthodox Religion or the House of Netjer Kemetic Orthodox Temple as legal or lay clergy, whose names do not appear on this list, please contact our webmaster.
