Kemetic Orthodoxy information

Kemetic Orthodoxy is a modern religious movement based on the reconstruction of ancient Egyptian religion known as Kemeticism.^[1] It was founded in 1988 by Tamara Siuda, who until 2023 was recognized as the leader of the movement, called its "Nisut" or "Pharaoh".^[2]^[3]^[4]

Although named "Kemetic Orthodoxy," Siuda considers it a cultic concept rather than a revealed religion. Followers prioritize the practice of "correct" action, rituals, and liturgy rather than adhering to a specific scripture.^[5] Worship often takes place in both public and personal shrines.^[6] The main temple is located in Joliet, Illinois,^[7] and various state shrines are maintained by priests worldwide.^[5]

The faith is guided by five fundamental principles: upholding ma'at (cosmic order), belief in Netjer (the supreme being), veneration of akhu (ancestors), participation in and respect for the community, and acknowledgment of Siuda as the Nisut.^[2] Practitioners of the faith are known as "Shemsu".^[8]

Kemetic Orthodoxy has attracted attention from sociologists and Egyptologists for its size, prominence on the internet, and its influence on Kemeticism as a whole. Many other Kemetic groups have emerged from or defined themselves in relation to it.^[5] The presence of a central authority and emphasis on tradition within Kemetic Orthodoxy sets it apart from other predominantly online-organized religions^[9] and challenges early theories about the nature of religion on the internet.^[10]
