Church of the Eternal Source


Church of the Eternal Source (CES) has been teaching and worshipping in the religion of Ancient Egypt since 1970, making it the oldest recognized nonprofit church dedicated to the Ancient Egyptian Religion in the world. We now have nine consecrated temples in three Western States and one in the east and numerous shrines. We offer fellowship, counseling, publications, celebration of public festivals, and personal instruction.

The CES follows the principles of Egyptian spirituality and religion including honoring all of the Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses and utilizing the Goddess Ma"at in finding a balance, harmony and order between ones self, the world and the afterlife. We reconstruct the Ancient Egyptian Religions as it was practiced by the Egyptian temples and in personal worship in the context of the modern world and incorporate these beliefs into our daily lives. Our information is based on information gathered from studying scholarly sources in Egyptology, translations from ancient texts as well as personal revelation.

While each priest or priestess is dedicated to one or two gods or goddesses, we do celebrate most of the Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses in ritual or in our personal life. Each temple or Priest/ess is encouraged but not required to teach others who may have an interest in the Egyptian Traditions. For now our teaching is based on personal one to one or small group classes and does not have any online courses available. That may change in the future. The interest of each CES priest/ess is broad. The CES members are not forbidden to use other magical traditions. Each temple has their own approach.

The CES publishes a newsletter, Papyri three times a year, once each Egyptian season and is available to anyone who has access to the internet.
