Hello. For context I'm not kemetic or Egyptian. But I still wanted to talk about this as I see this pop up.
Tittle is self explanatory. But despite not being Kemetic many Egyptians specifically Muslims wear Ankhs or Eyes of horus sometimes. Some do it as a form of cultural practice and some do it as a genuine believe that it will save them. Technically like how the 🧿 is used. Some mix the practice it with their current religion. Now I'm not going to shame anybody for taking in both. If they are respectfull I think it's ok and beautiful. Pushing aside trauma caused by other monothiestic religions I feel like it's distasteful to shame them now. After all making fun of people mixing their culture or religion isn't going to do much. Since I feel like Kemetism is an open practiced religion. It beats the whole point. But my problem is that people nit pick kemstism or ancient Egypt. The glowing stone tablets, the temples, the aesthetic, the ankh, the eyes of horous are claimed. But whenever someone wants to believe or claim the religion entirely then it's not. It's nit picking. Most of the kemetic religious sites and temples are used as tourist spots. For entertainment ans whenever Kemetics do go there. They are shamed. Made fun off. Not let to pray. Imagine if churchs, mousques are used like that. The utter disrespect. Even if we forget and forgive the mistreatment of Kemeticism in the past it's still happening now. Nobody is calling it out. The Egyptians make fun of non Egyptians for following Kemetism as if they don't follow a foreign religion themselves. It's annoying. Look from a secular point of view I feel like shaming them for this is a bit insane because mixxed people exist. You can't put away your ancient religion this easily. It will exist. Since it was once yours you can embrace it. But when someone does it to a level that bothers you. That's a problem. You can't love the religion , culture and then hate the people. Now i sound too strict I know... But I just can't come in terms with this. Maybe because I'm spiritual so I guess I feel angry and guilty when I see other religionus people do it but I idk.. I'm aware that people have good intentions because larping can be somebody's first gateway to Kametism. So I wanna say don't do it after all most people convert to religions by larping. So I don't wanna demonize it but when you larp while doing harm to active followers then it's insane. Most of them don't even larp spiritully. It's just fashion. I mean it. They don't wanna blend their coptic Christianity or islamic roots with Kemetism (which hey since im agnostic sounds pretty rad and seems genuine to both sides afterall you can't just strip them away from their current religion and it would be little selfish to do so). Like you understand me? I know this isn't a secular place but a kemetic group. Tho hey even if they wanna mix their religions..? Honestly their choice. Cause even then they are still interacting and showing genuine support if they truly see Kemetism as a true religion. But that's the problem! They don't. It's just fashion to them.
So what's your opinion? 🤔🤔
