regions. Some regions have frequent "meet-ups" where members gather for socialization, fellowship, and/or worship. Some gatherings invite non-members to meet the membership. Gatherings also take place in on-line chats of various formats. Like off-line events, on-line events vary widely in their format. The most common formats are fellowship events, with little or no structure, and educational events, where one or more member leads a group discussion on a topic of interest. Membership There are two classes of membership in Kemetic Orthodoxy, Remetj and Shemsu. Remetj, translated as royal subjects, are referred to as "friends of the faith". Some Remetj are members who have taken the free online group introductory course and decided to not yet become full members, but wish to remain affiliated with Kemetic Orthodoxy. Remetj may also include those who plan on becoming members in the future, but have not yet done so, as well as individuals who were born into the faith. An adherent of Kemetic Orthodoxy may also be referred to as a Remetj if they had, at one time, held the status of full member, but no longer hold such a position. Shemsu, translated as followers, are individuals who have decided to become full members of the House of Netjer temple. This requires having previously been a Remetj (to take the introductory course) and partaking in a ritual to become a full member. This ritual consists of two parts. The first part is the determination of the convert's "Parent" and "Beloved" gods. The Kemetic Orthodox believe that the Parent god(s) create the ba, or eternal soul, of the candidate; while the Beloved gods, of whom there can be any number, have taken a personal interest in helping the individual through their life. This rite is called the "Ritual Parent Divination", or RPD, and is a geomantic divination that is performed on the convert's behalf by Siuda. The results of this ritual may be relayed in a face-to-face meeting between Siuda and the Remetj, or via telephone and internet. The second half of this ritual is a community gathering of Remetj and Shemsu, known as Shemsu naming. During this gathering, individuals who wish to become Shemsu, and have undergone the Rite of Parent Divination, are announced to those gathered (alternatively, the announcement may take the form of a public post on social media.) This announcement repeats the results of the Rite of Parent Divination and assigns
