FOI Ordination of Rev. Tamara Siuda, 29 October 2011

Below is a message written by Lady Olivia Robertson:
"I had great pleasure on the 29th of October 2011 in ordaining the Rev. Tamara Siuda with Rt. Rev. Deena Butta in her chartering Lyceum of Alexandria, Chicago.  I learnt much of Rev. Tamara's authentic work in reviving the Ancient Egyptian Kemetic faith in modern days, and I appreciate this effort by Tamara and the extent of her work."

Rev. Tamara Siuda tells of her work:
"The Kemetic Orthodox faith was founded in 1989.  Through various incarnations, it now has hundreds of members in more than two dozen countries worldwide, and an extended fellowship, ritual, and instruction network online directed from our main temple, The House of Netjer, in Joliet, Illinois.  We seek to revive the Ancient Egyptian religion via scholarship and spiritual work in both Egyptology and serving Ma'at in the world.  For more information see our websites www.kemet.org and www.netjer.org."

The gifts of Wisdom, Compassion, and Beauty offered by Tamara to her matron goddess (Isis Stella Maris) and helper goddesses (Neith of Egypt, Lada Matryushka of Russia, and La Sirene of Haiti) are numerous.  They will be published fully in Isis Seshat Journal along with Tamara's translation of the story of how Isis learned Ra's name.  Briefly, they include her Master's degrees in Egyptology and Coptic studies; work in various capacities with the Oriental Institute, Field Museum, and many other museums; Reiki certification; Haitian Vodou initiations; a foundation that helps children; extensive instruction online and in various media and organizations; numerous publications pertaining to Egypt and Vodou; and much more.

The Lyceum of Alexandria is proud and grateful to welcome Rev. Tamara Siuda to the priesthood of the Fellowship of Isis.
