Nuhati Am Nutjeru (Faith)

[Agaliha]

I randomly discovered this site when I was looking up some info about Amun.

Nuhati Am Nutjeru Faith (http://www.thelivingnuhati.org/)

The yahoo search blurb under it says:
"Home of Sushen-Hah-Ma, the Eternal Lotus Fellowship, devoted to the Khematic Orthodox tradition."

I haven't looked/read it in depth, but I wanted to share. Has anyone heard of it before? Any thoughts/impressions?

They have a YouTube and a MySpace channel, where videos of explanations by their leader, PtahMAssu, can be viewed, if I am not mistaken. He is a servant of Ptah, and I think his teacher was an Egyptian. Their value system harmonizes more with Buddhism than with Wicca. I think they are friends with Rosemary Clark's temple. One of my favorite things about them is the beauty of their website.

Em Hotep!

I've actually investigated the Nuhati-Am-Nutjeru a fair bit, and I've even considered joining on a few occasions. I think maybe they rely a fair bit on their religious text, revealed by their founder. I think also they represent both reconstruction Kemetism, and also that which could be considered... not created, but improvised perhaps. They also include some more new age ideas, but I think they're pretty good at relating these to Egyptian concepts, even if it's a bit of a long stretch in some cases. I don't think said beliefs would conflict even with the hard reconstructionist, but the presentation is definitely new-agey.

They seem to be safe, and the founder dude doesn't claim total control over the faith, and lets the followers interact with the Nutjer as they see fit.

Much of their beliefs are similar to Kemetic Orthodoxy. They have an OK relationship with KO: KO don't really like them that much, but the Nuhati are OK with it all.

Hope this helps!

Hi;

Is there a thread on this forum that explains the distinction between "hard" reconstructionism and other? I have had little but negative experiences with the people who described themselves as "conservative" because they rely on Eurocentric Egyptology and a monotheist/atheist world view to explain Egypt (and marginalize the gnosis used by the ancients). In his book on magical praxis, Dr. Ritner quickly outlined the disadvantages of this when trying to describe the concept of HkA, especially.

Thanks,

Bob
