this was a time when the gods walked the earth after the birth of Aset,Seth,Nepthys,and Osiris. this was the time in which the society of Kemet flourished and set the groundwork for our current societies such as Thoth creating writing and Aset becoming the most powerful in magick. who else knows something about this i would like to discuss. excuse the spellings im not operating at optimum effeciency this morning....

I find this one interesting: Gurdjieff (again) was someone who had very little use for mythology except in terms of, 'fables' - as teaching lessons. Most of his rather unusual claims seem to be just that - having a good time on people's sacred cows. However, Gurdjieff specifically mentions a meeting with the Bedouin people in Morocco - and a very moving tale they told of, 'Egypt before the desert came.'

They also mentioned a temple in the desert that dated back to such a time. Gurdjieff would have liked to see if such a temple existed. However, when he asked for directions - the Bedouin pointed out towards the Sahara Desert. Like, 'over there in the largest ghastly wasteland on our planet,' as directions.

Still - we do have some relics of Kemetic Egypt around today. I've been to the New York Metropolitan Egyptian exhibit, and the beauty of the gold-work alone is awe-inspiring. Also, at one point there was a fairly active Kemetic Reconstructionist group online. I also knew some, 'Tamarands,' which means someone who studies Kemeticism in light of contemporary witchcraft.

I am not a Kemetic student. However, the Nag Hammadi library is an Egyptian archeological find. The Hermetic texts found at Nag Hammadi are from a period when Greek and Egyptian culture were mixing - sort of like the famous Rosetta Stone. It is intriguing.

I've heard this name before. So far as I can reckon its about the same as the time of mists and legends in most parts of the world. Its actually a fairly common theme. Anyway, back on topic something to note is there was of course a time when the nile valley and most of the Sahara was a grass land, much like you'd see in Kenya and places like that. If we use rock painting and such that would place at least the green sarhara period in the neolothic time period.

Living outside the contemporary is impossible. It would be pointless and likely rather illegal considering the amount of Animal sacrifice that went on in the ancient world. Trying to live in the past will cause the world to pass us by.

We're modern people living in a modern world. The gods may have been around since ancient times, but they have grown as we as a race have grown. And our worship of them should reflect that.

Very beautiful.

Do you have any links or useful resources to get a hold of any information on the kemetic orthodoxy?

Hey Dev, glad to see that you're back.

Its also pronounced Zep Tepi, it means The first time.
Its used in most egyptian magick rites and spells where the user claims identification with the gods and carries out symbolical acts that correspond to the goal.
