I have a question for you, since our Kemetic paths do differ. I consider the eight Sabbats that are observed by many Pagans to be most of my religious holidays. As a follower of the Kemetic Orthodox faith, what holidays do you observe?Is there any other questions from anyone? Questions about holy days, deities, etc.?
Hi
Are female Goddess seen as lower than the males?
Is there existing scriptures?
Is there a concept of hell in Kemeticism?
Senedjem,
You said previously that Kemetics believe that God is "monaltry". What is "monaltry"?

Thanks. What is the goal, or the purpose of your spiritual path?
Not at all. Gods and Goddesses are equal, and necessary for each other to co-exist. Without Ying there is no Yang. Without North there is no South. Without Goddess there is no God.Are female Goddess seen as lower than the males?
As Senedjem said, The Pyramid and Coffin Texts are major texts. There are also texts that are said to have been written by some of the Gods and Goddesses. Just today, my copy of The Emerald Tablets arrived today. It is said to have been translated from tablets that Thoth had written upon approximately 38,000 years ago. The sources of our texts are too numerous to list here. When dealing with an Ancient religion you will often find that works of art contain sacred texts. Art can take so many forms that is has (and surely will continue) to pop up all over the place.Is there existing scriptures?
To me Hell is a concept, but not a physical place. My idea of Hell would be to not be with Anubis in my afterlife.Is there a concept of hell in Kemeticism?
To learn how to best serve my Gods and Goddesses in my afterlife.What is the goal, or the purpose of your spiritual path?
Thanks Enchanted and Senedjem.
The moral purpose sounds logical and good, to live well with others and to be close to Ma'at or your choosen divinity.
Is it really a matter of waiting for the afterlife, isn't there something here on this plane of existence for you both?
Well that is the impression I had, I was trying not to load my questions with my own background in Dharmic philosophy, hahaSo here are few more please:
- How can you be sure that your path isn't just a blend of what feels good from other religions? And does it matter if it is a mix of Celtics and Sanatan Dharma, for example?
This is partly why I asked about scriptures, as how can the path be clear if they no longer exist, one is basically re-constructing a religion as one goes along. Which is fine, but is that acknowledged or is this a misconception of an outsider looking in for the first time?
- Is it non-dual, monist?
