Egyptian-Influenced Religions
 
 
Anubis

Modern religions influenced by ancient Egyptian traditions vary greatly. Some, often referred to as Tameran traditions, are similar to Wicca in that practitioners design or select their own rituals and honor their deities in whatever way suits them.

The Kemetic Orthodox religion is very different, and difficult to compare to the Tameran traditions for it follows very strict protocol. All rituals are taken directly from ancient Egyptian texts. Members of a Kemetic Orthodox church meet in a building regularly, similar to the practice of Christians on their Sabbath. The Kemetic Orthodox religion is not a Pagan religion, as they represent the actual ancient Egyptian faith rather than a modern interpretation. All members of the Kemetic Orthodox religion consider Neter to be one divine force that appears to mortals in a variety of forms.

(2) Netjer is a Kemetic word which cannot really be directly translated into English; the closest you can come is "power" or "divine energy."

Practitioners of the Tameran traditions generally choose, or are chosen by, certain deities, which are often considered to be separate entities. The Tameran traditions are also considered to be Pagan by their practitioners, as many of the rites are largely eclectic and individualized.

(1) They are each separate deities that represent different aspects of existence, and in order to truly know these aspects of existence one needs to commune with the specific deity.
