my story i’m an independent kemetic panentheist interested in rekindling my faith practice. i was drawn to kemeticism in 2020 after being raised presbyterian christian. i was actively devoted to aset for at least a year (?) until faith gradually faded into the background of my life. i’m now interested in reconnecting with the divine, learning how to live in ma’at, rebuilding my relationship with aset, learning as much as i can about kemeticism in general, & maybe connecting with other deities at some point.
my beliefs i believe in a pluriform panentheistic divine universe-energy that manifests in infinitely different ways through the diversity of human interpretation. this as a whole can be referred to as “god,” & the many distinct aspects of the universe as we experience it can be referred to as “gods.” i follow a process philosophical understanding of the universe & i believe that god has a persuasive power rather than a coercive power.
my goddess i experience aset as a deity of transformation, (re)birth, healing, magic, the cycle of life/death, love, wisdom, strength, grief, women, fortune, protection, the sun, the stars, travel, & the sea. she is vast & radiant. i know that many view aset/isis as separate deities—& this is partially true to me, i guess? it’s more nebulous than a stark delineation between the two. my experience of aset is informed by her evolution as isis but rooted in her kemetic origins.
my kemeticism i’m intensely critical of certain values that defined the religion in antiquity, such as the importance of kingship, the maintaining of order (read: class stratification) in society, the justification of violence & hatred towards foreigners, the (supposedly) divinely-supported imperialistic expansion, etc. my kemeticism is grounded in a modern, leftist interpretation of ma’at that comes from a place of loving connection with the universe. my kemeticism is also based in the ae conception of the gods—their intimate relationship to the entire natural world, the sustaining power of ma’at, etc. i am afterlife-skeptic & i do not necessarily believe that a divine judgement takes place; i feel that we as human beings have the responsibility to uphold ma’at in our lives regardless of whether or not a spiritual reward waits for us.
