Kemetism/Kemeticism, and the variants are usually terms for the revived or reconstructed religion/s of ancient Egypt. Kemet being an ancient Egyptian word they called their own land (Egypt is the Greek name), Kemet means 'black [land]', which is most commonly interpreted as referring to the dark blackish soil of the soil that the civilization depending upon for it's survival and prosperity.
To keep it short and sweet, Kemetic [neo]paganism is about upholding Ma'at, which is the order of the universe. Most Kemetics worship many different gods and goddesses, which is not surprising since there's over 1500 recorded Egyptian deities! Some are hard polytheists and believe that each god is distant and individual from the others, and some others are soft polytheists, and then you even have various other types of theism within the Kemetic religion, because the conception of the divine changed a lot during Egypt's long history.
Ritual offerings are a main activity of Kemetic worship because the gods are said to derive nourishment from the food and drink offered to them and it allows them to uphold Ma'at and keep Isfet (uncreation, personified by the underworld chaos-serpent Apep/Apophis) at bay.
That's just off the top of my head; if you want some more specific answers, feel free to ask Even though I don't identify as a Kemetic pagan, I've always had a love for Egyptian mythology & religion/culture - so when I began looking into pagan religions, I naturally learned a little bit about it's revived and reconstructed forms.
I am sorry for all of the questions. I like to learn.:sorry1:Kemetism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You have a lot of questions my Friend...
Checking out wikipedia would be a good start so you don't have to sit around and wait for us to reply to you.
Then perhaps you can bring forth a more dynamic question/specific.
