As with anything, each community will have its own terms. Some of these are not kemetic specific, but apply, so will be included. The terms below have been gathered from members of the community, the tags of tumblr, and blogs of WordPress. I hope they can help you understand things a little easier.
- UPG – Unverified personal gnosis
- SPG – Shared personal gnosis
- VPG/CPG/CG – Verified personal gnosis/Certified personal gnosis/Certified gnosis
- YMMV – It stands for “Your Mileage May Vary”, meaning that you may have a different experience.
- KO – Kemetic orthodoxy
- Woo – Woo is a term used to describe non-physical or stereotypical supernatural things, such as god phones, deity communication, spirit working, astral traveling, hedge walking and occasionally divination.
- Em hotep – Often used as a greeting, it’s extended version is “ii-wy em hotep”, meaning welcome in peace.
- Netjeru/Netjer/Netjeri – Netjeru means Gods, Netjer means God, and is a KO term. Netjeri are those that are not ancestors, but not Gods. Often spirits or demons that work for the Gods.
- RPD – Rite of Parental Divination, a ritual done in the Kemetic Orthodox Religion that uses cowrie shells and mathematical equations to divine who created you, and who has chosen to work with and protect you in this life. This link provides the math behind this practice.
- Budge – the author E.A Wallis Budge, who incorrectly translated a lot of hieroglyphs and spoke insultingly of the Netjeru. He’s laughable in most circles, do not read his books.
This is not an exclusive list, and will have more terms added as they become known.
Some of these terms were volunteered by Oceansouled, go check out their tumblr!
