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

(G/R Harmachis) - "Heru-in-the-Horizon" Heru-em-Akhet is not truly a Name of Netjer, but a divinized persona specifically applied to the great Sphinx stationed before the second pyramid (Khafre) at modern-day Giza. As protector of the Old Kingdom necropolis, Heru-em-Akhet sits facing the dawn and the Nile, watching that no one disturbs the rest of his masters, with his human head and lion body on a much grander scale than any other sphinx known to Kemet. The name also alludes to the presence of the king (Heru) inside the pyramid (more often than not called a horizon, symbolizing the death implicit in sunset and the rebirth implicit in sunrise).
