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

Originally, "ankh udja seneb" (ahnkh ood-JAH zen-EB) was a benediction, attached to the end of a mention of the royal person or royal house (similar to the medieval English "Long live the King!" or the "peace and blessings be upon him!" said by Muslims after the name of Mohammad). Ankh, udja, seneb means "Life, prosperity, and health." In the New Kingdom, it became popular as a parting blessing appended to the end of written correspondence and letters. Today, we use it in both ways -- in reference to our Nisut (ankh udja seneb), and as a farewell phrase ("I'm outta here. Ankh udja seneb!"). When used in connection with the Nisut, this phrase is frequently abbreviated to AUS.
