EN ANKH HEH SHEM HOTEPU to all:
I have been a practicioner of Kemetian Theology for over a decade, in junction with other similar spiritual systems.
The 2 most prominent Kemetic organizations in the African Spiritual Community are the SEMA Institute led by Sebahy Muata Ashby, and the Ausar/Auset Society led by Sheqhem Ur Sheqhem Ra Un Nefer Amen.
I was wondering if there are any members of Destee that are members of either (or both) Societies.
As for myself, I am a student of both systems.
My studies of both systems have led me to understand that the theologies of both are slightly different, though not at all opposing to one another.
Amen's teachings of Metu Neter ("Divine Wisdom") are based on Ausarian Theology, whilst Ashby's teachings of Shetaut Neter ("Divine Mysteries") are based on Anunian Theology.
Both systems have their foundation in the PA'UT NETER (Tree Of Life, or Pantheon of Deities), though the positioning of the deities for each system is slightly different.
In my understanding, this is not a discrepancy on either part of each teacher, as both the Anunian and Ausarian Theologies were in practice simultaneously in Kemet during ancient times.
It should be seen as a different discipline of science (Astronomy in comparison to Astrology), rather than a contradiction of each other; both utilize the principle aspect to express ultimately the same understanding.
Personally, I find the Ausarian Theology of Metu Neter to be more beneficial on a practical level (God in Self), while the Anunian Theology gives great understanding to the cosmology of the Universe (God In the Universe).
Anyways, that's my perspective in a nutshell, and I was just wondering about the perspectives of others:
How long have you studied and/or been a member of either Society?
What prompted you to join other one?
What have you learned about Kemetic culture during this time?
If you are a member of one Society, what is your perspective regarding the other?
