Hello, all! I’m Khenneferitw, or Khen, a college student from Sacramento, California. The initials of my URL stand for the initials of my legal name, as I started this blog before becoming a Shemsu.
This blog is a record of my life as a Shemsu, or follower, of Kemetic Orthodoxy.
Kemetic Orthodoxy is a revival and re-construction of the ancient polytheistic faith of Egypt. It focuses both on personal practice and the formal”state” religion, with five central tenants:
- Belief in Netjer (the one Divine source from which the universe and gods come)
- Honoring our Akhu (Ancestors)
- Respect of the Nisut (Religious leader)
- Love for the Community
- Living in Ma’at (Truth, justice, and ethical living)
