Kemet Ntcheru / Gods Of Egypt - A Brief Guide

Following is a brief description of the Ntcheru (Gods, Life Forces) responsible for creating, governing and sustaining Kemet / Egypt society and existence. 

The African Ntcheru (God) Concept - Many Ntcher (i.e. Ntcheru) one Creator 

Among the five to six types of Ntcheru there are three primary types - creator, elements and principals. There is one creator responsible for the creation of life. This Ntcher sets things in motion through ideas and ideals. It is the creator whom we refer to when we say: "Ntcher {God} has a master plan". 

Another type of Ntcheru is the elements. These Ntcheru sustain life. They we depend upon for our day to day survival - Ra (sun), Shu (air), Nu (water), Nut (atmosphere), and Geb (earth, by extension food). These Ntcheru, especially Ra, were once thought of as creators. 

Another type of Ntcheru is the Principals. These Ntcheru govern behavior and are the standards of truth which is equal to life; a sort of duality of life. These Ntcheru are often referred to as the children of the elements and at times as independent of the elements depending on the religious-philosophical school of thought (i.e. Tehuti, the Greek Thoth). 

In Kemet / Egypt, as in all African societies, Ntcheru (God) is considered to be ever present and each and every individual communes with the Ntcheru and is responsible for respecting them and being them (especially the principals) everyday. Hence, during the period of judgment that follows transition from this life the individual is queried by the Ntcheru as to whether he of she was as they are everyday. If yes, you would gain immortality, if no, your life ends.
