Beginners Class 65: reviews begin late July 2024
Class 64 is currently graduating (May 2024) and there will be a pause before our next class, in order that we can continue to reset our curriculum pending the temple's ongoing reorganization process. All applications received since Class 64 began this spring are being held for review for our next class, Class 65. Class 65 application review will begin in late July and the class will begin in mid-August, after the Wep Ronpet/Kemetic New Year's holidays at the beginning of August. Applicants will begin to be contacted about their application status on or about August 10, 2024. Apply for Class 65

"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).

The actual number of Names, sometimes more simply (but misleadingly) called "gods" and "goddesses," figures in the thousands. This glossary is a detailed listing of the most common Names and includes the most accurate information possible regarding Them. The Names listed below are the Kemetic Orthodox approximation of how the Name would be pronounced.
