Meritsekhmet

Hey, I'm not sure if this is the right area...it seems close enough, being that it is dealing with the Netjer. I was wondering if anyone here practices Kemeticism or Tameran. For those not familar- Kameticism- Reconstructionalist Ancient Kemetic religion...and Tameran- modern Wicca with Kemetic. I myself am starting on the Kemetic path (after 5 years of learning about wiccan and such, I knew this was the path of me) so if there are anyone others, I'd love to talk Smile

I practice Kemetic Reconstructionism. I used to practice "Wicca," but not of the Tameran variety.

Well kind of. I'm actually a religious independent...hehe...I'm such a loser, using a term I learned in AP government...ahem, but that's besides the point. If you mean do I believe in the Netjer then yes. But I really don't care to be part of an established religion. I'd rather make up my own.

I am trying to follow the religion as much as i can but it is extremely difficult with so little actual information of much use. Does anyone know how to conduct ceremonies or anything? I would greatly appreciate any advice/instruction regarding the rites and ceremonies.

I thought I'd put this up:
http://s2.excoboard.com/exco/index.php?boardid=5203

It's a Recon board, they're looking for new members, and they'd like more people who are into Kemetic Recon.

On the whole of the matter we all practice Kemet. If it be the gardener planting (Hathor) or an artist molding clay on his/her potters table (Khnemu) as well for the builders of our society (Ptah) and the medical profession using the Caduceus as their symbol (Thoth) are actually paying homage to one of the many names and face of Netjer or Amun/Amen/Amen-ra bla bla bla...without knowing it really.

Kemetic religion is based on the fauna that had influence the ancients as well as our modern day society. From my point of view its just that it has been reorganized as a sect now (for about 11 years, maybe a little bit longer) among other theologies, but the practices have just change names for the sake of the original people consider now-days Copts or as Christians.
www.kemet.org
www.netjer.com
These sites can answer more of your questions if you have any.

I'll just say this...societies based on Kemetic principals prosper and societies that are Islamic ruled continue to fail and be disorderly!

Those whom have awaited so long are gradually being notice. My prayers are mostly for those of the ancients known as Copts,Assyrian,Babylonians and Chaldeans whom are still in existance to this very day and consider Christians by Islamic Muslims,but have been repressed since 641 A.D. by the Nomads (Arabs/Asiatics) Hyksos/Heka-haswt (now days called Palestinians) Umayyads (Muslim) all Islamic who had nothing to begin with and are still nothing but a bother and shame Allah! There is a difference between Allah and Mohammad, those who live in harmony are following Allah (immortal). Those who participate in Jihad are of Mohammad (mortal). The desert kings in my book are nothing but the dust themselves that engulf the fertile lands that were once rich among the ancients to turn them into sand. Then again if you study magic,you'll know that all evil is banished to the desert and that is all I have to say to those who repress Kemetic ideaology.

Remember this; the Bibles foundation started with Kemet influences from where Judaism was inspired (I'm assuming) by the Amarna period. Judaism inspired Islamic mystics. Islamic inspires Wanna be's Mohammads, suicide bombers and the only good The Baha'i. And Kemet can very well be incoorperated with Christainity in this day in age. As well as faery/fairy folk can be intwined with Kemet when regarding the calander and festivals such as Lamas (Celtic) and Egyptians New year Day coinciding on the same day,which still leads back to Christianity. So more or less if you are a Christian, you have been practicing Kemet.

I would say more, but I don't know if this site is linked to an arabic website.
Confused

I don't mean to be harsh towards Islam, its just that they have control of the middle east for some time now and they're still FIGHTING over there!
So don't get me wrong thinking I dislike all Muslims, just those who follow a mortal deadman named Mohammad who deserted his wife and children for solitude with God/Amun/Amen-Ra/Allah/Ali in the mountains thinking he straighten out the Hebrews version of God. That's all!

Oh by the way, I pray to Geb/Seb who made an ass of himself (that being Set). As well I'm forever saying AMEN! when in disstress as well to ending grace and prayers.

Take care Very Happy

Why say 'amen'. It's Hebrew for 'let it be so'. Why don't you try this: "Seshepi embah Asir em ta en maakheru!" (May I be taken into the presence of Osiris in the land of glory!").

I do not practice this so-called Kemeticism, as it seems pretty ridiculous to me, but I really have no objections to it. I just like reading and writing hieroglyphs- that was my attempt at writing a sort of prayer. Smile

"Its usually done when in distress as Aaaaaaaa men"

I don't understand what you mean. Amen, when said at the end of prayer has nothing to do with 'men' (the male populace). It is a hebrew word. Please think as you type- I cannot understand what you are saying and I might get the wrong idea about what on earth you are talking about. Smile

And why do you keep spelling Osiris as 'Osirus'? Osiris is an Anglicisation of the Ancient Greek word Osiridos. The 'i' in Osiridos is always an iota, and never (to my limited knowledge) an upsilon. Thus it is translated as Osiris- in the same way as Isidos is translated as Isis. Perhaps you mean the Egyptian transliterations, which are far hazier. Asar, Asur, Usur, Usir, Wsir and Usir are all acceptable- all though you will probably come across variations.
I don't want to patronise you but I am finding your erratic mode of speech very hard to follow.
