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

(SHEM-soo) is both the plural and singular term for "followers," and today refers to Kemetic Orthodox devotees. Anyone who fully converts to the religion after the Rite of Parent Divination and receives a Kemetic name from our Nisut (AUS) is a Shemsu. When referring to a female follower, the spelling is "Shemset." In antiquity, a Shemsu was in particular a member of the Kemetic court, sworn to serve the king as a "follower of the royal household"; in modern times, our Shemsu take vows to serve their personal god(s) and their fellow Kemetic Orthodox.
