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

(Am-mut) - "Dead-Swallower" Stationed just to the side of the scales in the Hall of Double Truth [see Ma'at], Ammit's function is to await the postmortem judgment of a soul (envisioned as the deceased's heart being weighed on a scale against the feather of Ma'at) and then, if the soul fails the test, Ammit snatches up the heart and devours it, causing the soul to cease to exist. As the ultimate punishment of the wicked, Ammit is depicted as a hideous composite of the animals Kemet's people feared most: crocodile snout and head, feline claws and front, and a hippopotamus body and back legs. Ammit is also sometimes referred to as "Great of Death," and papyri depict Her patiently watching Yinepu weighing a man's heart against the feather of Ma'at.
