Petition for a Kemetic DIR

[Rainbow Mage]

Because as many people have said who are Kemetic on RF, Egyptian Mythology DIR isn't that great sounding to one who actually believes Kemetic. Who's with me?

 

[xkatz]

I'll join your cause

 

[Antibush5]

You have my support.
I'd say that there are more kemetics on here then Orthodox Christians and they have their own DIR.

Or Amish for that matter. Seriously, why have an Amish DIR if Amish people cannot use computers?

We have an Amish DIR? Sweet, its useless but cool to have, like katana's.

 

[Rainbow Mage]

Where are all the folks I helped get the Seeker DIR? LOL

You should know I am all for a Kemetic DIR. You may want to speak with Circle_One about this.

 

[Rainbow Mage]

Last I heard Circle One was on hiatus.

 

[MissAlice]

I'll support it only because I don't know enough about it. I've always been interested with much of Egypt's history and ancient mythology.

 

[Daniel09]

Totally into it here. ^^

 

[Breathe]

I support the Kemetic DIR!

 

[Peacewise]

+1 for the kemetic dir section,

 

[Storm]

I'll lend my support, but I have a couple questions:

Would renaming the Egyptian Mythology DIR suffice, or do you want both? (I have no idea what goes into making a DIR, but I imagine a simple rename would be easier on the techies.)

I had another question, but it slipped my mind while I was typing out the first.

 

[Onkara]

I support it

 

[Rainbow Mage]

Storm renaming the Egyptian Mythology DIR would be ok to me, unless some people would still want to discuss our beliefs as myths.

 

[Willamena]

I support it. As I understand it, there's a lot more to religion than discussing its mythology.

 

[Rainbow Mage]

Very much so Willamena What is myths to many is a living religion to us, and our gods are alive and well, and we're part of a heritage spanning back thousands of years ago, even if we're not Egyptian by descent. We are Egyptians in the place it counts, in our hearts.

 

[Daniel09]

Well said, Senedjem. We could even say that our religion has a lot of validity behind it, considering how it was one of the very first to sprout about. It wasn't until Alexander killed everyone that practiced it that it died down for a long time.

 

[Rainbow Mage]

I agree with you Daniel. It was more that the Greeks took their worship of the Olympians and syncretized it with Kemeticism, but the Hermetic religion that emerged from the combination hardly had anything Egyptian left about it. They even changed the names of our gods to Greek names and placed the Olympians above our gods in Egypt's temples, using our gods as hardly anything more then validation for their own.
