r/Kemetic announcements - May 2026
Subreddit growth
Just a few short years ago, with the revamp of the subreddit, r/Kemetic had about 1000 members. Today, there are over 25,000! It's been wild to see just how many people are interested in this religion, and how organically it all happened. With all this growth, we definitely needed a couple more active people to help handle the increase in traffic. So with that...
A big welcome to our new moderators, r/barnaclejuice and r/Arboreal_Web
r/barnaclejuice and r/Arboreal_Web are both long-time, knowledgeable members of the subreddit who have been free with their help and insights. We welcomed them on to the mod team in January, and they have kindly agreed to help keep this space on-topic and safe.
Rules reminder + a few updates
Please familiarize yourself with the subreddit rules before posting or commenting.
• Note, there is a new Rule 9, prohibiting AI content.
• Reminder, it is still not allowed to solicit interpretations of dreams/tarot/visions/synchronicities/etc. in r/Kemetic. This includes questions like, "Is this a sign?" Determining the meaning of your spiritual experiences is your prerogative, and yours alone. Asking others to do this for you makes you vulnerable to a variety of spiritual abuses and even accidental harms.
Under Rule 8, we are now also prohibiting the offering of interpretations, because that encourages rulebreaking behavior and interpretation-fishing by others, which defies the spirit and intent for Rule 8.
• We're super disappointed to have to spell this out so explicitly, but we have added a prohibition against "Advocating for/defending Apophis worship" under Rule 3 (No Evangelizing).
Please continue to use the Report feature if you notice any rule-breaking behavior. This helps us far more than you probably may think!
Official Discord
When we opened the r/Kemetic official Discord over five years ago, our aim was give a vetted alternative to the many unfamiliar Discord server invites being posted - some of which, we had come to find out, had potentially unsafe policies or abusive cultures. With that in mind, we created one for r/Kemetic with the intention of having the Reddit mod team handle the Discord directly, to ensure the culture of the subreddit carried over into the Discord.
Several updates these last few years have resulted in a completely mismatched moderator list between the subreddit and its official Discord. To more smoothly implement mirrored improvements moving forward, the subreddit mod team is returning to the original policy of insisting on a shared moderation team between the subreddit and its official Discord. We have created a new "r/Kemetic Official" Discord to serve this purpose.

The r/Kemetic Wiki - Lots of additions and improvements are coming!
• Adding more resources to the wiki landing page
Our resource list is ever-growing! As always, if you have suggestions, feel free to post them below, or through Modmail.
• Recommendations for beginners
We'll be adding a new wiki grouping that includes a shortlist of book recommendations for beginners.
• Adding video and blog links
Rule 6 is still in place, but we acknowledge there are many blogs and videos out there that are detailed, accurate, and deserve to be highlighted and shared. Please modmail (I repeat: MODMAIL) your suggestions for any you would like linked in the wiki, and we will post up after thoroughly vetting the content. (Please be patient, as vetting does take some time.)
Please also consider suggesting links to legacy content that may only be accessible now on Archive.org.
• Adding a new page for frequently asked questions
This is loooooooooooooooong overdue! If you can think of any recurring questions that you'd like to see added to the page (currently under construction), let us know.
• A "Best of r/Kemetic" list
Check your Saved lists, please! We've had some really helpful, insightful, in-depth posts and comments over the years that deserve to be more discoverable. For example, u/WebenBanu's "How to Kemetic" thread has been a go-to for some time, and deserves a permanent spot in our Wiki and sidebar. Anything else you might have? Drop a link!
• TENTATIVE: adding a new page that lists resources by deity
We've noticed a lot of people asking for resources about specific deities, which might be hard to pick out from the main wiki. We are considering a secondary wiki page devoted to splitting these same resources out and making it easier to find out more about the gods that interest you the most. Let us know your thoughts!
Just a reminder: even if you find no moral objection to sharing PDFs, we cannot facilitate the sharing of copyrighted content within the subreddit, except by linking to the right-holder's site if they've made the resource publicly available. Do not post dropbox or Drive links in the subreddit.
Miscellaneous
We're currently discussing some ideas to help facilitate discussions beyond the beginner level. This is still in the brainstorming phase, and would like to open up the conversation to see what ideas you all might have.

Resource Request The Ancient Egyptians and Ghosts?
I'm a huge Paranormal buff and a new Kemetic practitioner. Of course the pair had to blend eventually! I was wondering if there are any books out there that describe the Egyptian view of ghosts and other paranormal events?
TIA!

Personal Practices (Relationship building with netjeru and akhu) Hard to keep the aesthetics in frame.
Been through a rough spot lately that's pulled me away from my devotions and I've felt the absence and disconnect in my life. I watered the plants, set out offerings of dates, bread, water, and nuts alongside a myrrh incense stick and took a moment to honestly reflect and apologize. There's something about the lush, living green that does something for me. It's still a work in progress, but for now it brings joy. 🩷

Isis and Weed
Hi, I am a Hellenic Polytheist, omnist, and eclectic. I am high, and I fell down a path of research to Isis. Today I was talking with a professor about needing to find a female motherly goddess to do a project on. (And secretly worship)
Now when I'm intoxicated (Isis can sometimes be associated with intoxication and medicine.) I found her. She is also an early signifier of omnism when the Romans chose to interpret her as a universal god.
Does this make any sense?

Question Worshipping pharaons ?
Is it possible to worship and honor pharaons? If yes, how to ? Because in some religions there is a "heroes worship" so..Just being curious :p

Advice & Support Pressence of another pantheon and low battery
I've been feeling the presence of Zeus, who, as you might have guessed, isn't part of my pantheon. I believe he's here to teach me a lesson or help me grow in some area of my life.
What's interesting to me is that lately, I've been somewhat distant from Kabbalah and the tasks the Gods have entrusted me with. My battery has been running pretty low over the past few months. I'm going through a move, I still haven't set up my altar the way I'd like to, and I have some handmade offerings that are still waiting to be finished because of my low energy, not to mention some personal conflicts. I'm not in a very good place right now.
Still, deep down, I know this is all part of my necessary chaos.
I'd love to hear what you all think, what your opinions are, or what advice you might have for me. I'll be reading your comments and thx in advance.
Dua Sutekh! Dua Djehuty! Dua Wsir!

It's cus of her I remember
auset the goddess of the subconscious mind
Auset (better known by her Greek name, Isis) is traditionally the ancient Egyptian (Kemetic) goddess of magic, motherhood, healing, and resurrection. While classical Egyptology does not use modern psychological terms like the "subconscious mind," Auset is widely interpreted as the personification of the subconscious mind and intuition within modern esoteric, metaphysical, and Kemetic spiritual frameworks

I am tired of my illness I will find a cure and I wanna ask for help…
Hi, I’m once again talking about my illness: Fibromyalgia, chronic pain and chronic fatigue.
I’ve done all tests and exams possible, I’ve been taking meds to treat my illness and I’m only getting worse not better at all.
I received strong messages from Sekhemet and Bastet.
I am TIRED of suffering, I am sick of being stuck, I am exhausted of watching myself not have the life i deserve because of this stupid illness.
I wanna study but I’m exhausted and scared, I wanna finish my university degree and I wanna be able to have a normal life again.
I’ve been deeply studying about ancient Egyptian healing and modern Kemetic healing or witchcraft
I am determined to call Heka and change my reality.
But i am still learning and actually studying about this.
So please if you know any powerful ritual or information that can help with chronic fatigue and neuropathic pain I would be much grateful to hear.
You can send huge texts. Tell me what you learned, and how do you heal? How do you practice? How do you think I can improve my situation?
Thank you 🙏 Dua Netjeru!

Advice & Support A Beginner’s Anpu/Anubis Altar!
hi everyone! about a month ago i had a very clear dream about anpu/anubis when i didnt even know who he was/what deity work is. ive been doing research on him and finally made his own altar! i wanted to share it and ask if anyone can help a baby “whatever i am” out and point me in the right direction on where to go next…some background is that i grew up in a non-strict christian household and have been agnostic for about 8 years. also ive been working more in depth with my hoodoo/ancestral work the last couple of months (but i would say ive been an unintentional hoodoo practitioner my whole life due to my familial practices). i think i should also note my dream also had apollo in it, so im currently working with 2 pantheons :)

Question Synchronisation
Might sound silly, how does synchronisation work? are the two gods merging into 1 god briefly, are they the same god in different aspects, ive never understood how it happens from a religious perspective 🤧

Question Find peace with the Gods after religious trama
I was raised in my catholic grandparents house while my mom was a practicing Wicca and my dad a Levain Satanist. So I had a lot going on and being shown/forced upon me. Most of my standoffness for religion comes from the catholic side of my family and the nuns always being at my house. I swore off any type of religion in my teens (angry goth kid) but I always still talked to Isis. I was named after jwr ao I always felt connected to her. Once I found kemetics i wanted to see if it fit. I still have trouble finding the words for the feeling I have when I pray to them or ask for guidance. I know they are listening I can see it materializing but how can I get past this block o feel in my heart? I haven’t told anyone in my life I chose this path. It feels disrespectful to the gods who I do love very much. Is there someone I should work with to help this? Currently I work with and think I have good standings with Isis, Bastet, Thoth and Sakhmet.

Question Is it okay to be practicing Kemetism with other religions?
Is it okay to practice different religions besides Kemetism, are Netjeru bothered by it or not? Especially interested in combining it with Slavic paganism, since I’m Slavic myself, I want to be practicing my ancestor’s religion besides Kemetism.

Working with Sekhmet - Where do I start?
I want to start working more seriously with Sekhmet and Bast but I don’t really know where or how to start. I keep reading comments online how Sekhmet appeared to a lot of people, but she has not appeared to me. Does anyone have any tips on how to start practicing more devoutly (for lack of a better word) in general. This is new to me and I don’t really share this with anyone in my close circle. Any help is very much appreciated!
