Brown College, Fountain Hall - Viola
Hill Auditorium. Lecturing on -
Ancient Egyptian Spiritual Culture.
a Un Nefer Amen I is the
King and Chief Priest of the
Ausar Auset Society. Ausar
Auset is a pan-African religious orga
nization with headquarters in New
York. In, 1998, Auser Auset cele
brates 25 years of great performance.
There are chapters and study groups
in over 43 states in the United States;
London, England; Trinidad; and many
other places in the world.
“Shekhem Ur Shekhem” is an an
cient Kamitic (Egyptian) title which
means King of Kings. The kingship
of the society has been officially recog
nized by various Ghanaian kings.
The Asantehene, king of Kings of the
Ashanti in Ghana, Otumfuo Opoku
Ware II, sent Nana Sarpong to the
United States to find African Ameri
can organizations with whom the
Ghanaians could form an alliance.
Nana Sarpong decided to start that
connection through Ausar Auset.
Nana Sarpong’s visit was very
successful. With the help of Shekhem
Ur Shekhem, Nana Sarpong visited
several U.S. cities. Heq Shemsu Heru
Tut Ner Amuf was sent to Ghana in
1985 as a representative of Shekhem
Ur Shekhem. Later in 1985, 55 Ausar
Auset members traveled with Shek
hem Ur Shekhem to Ghana.
On November 15, 1985, Ra Un
Nefer Amen was given the Epoh
(Unity) Stool by the Otumfuo Opoku
Ware II in Kumasi, Ghana. Three
days later, Shekhem Ur Shekhem was
given another stool by Nana Kwame
Sarpong in the Agogo traditional area
of Ashanti, Ghana. The Shekhem Ur
Shekhem held the first Durbar (royal
reception) ever orchestrated for a king
America, in honor Otumfuo Opoku
Ware II in 1984. Since then Shekhem
Ur Shekhem has hosted and played
major roles in the durbars held for
other African kings visiting the Amer
ica (i.e., Togbi Adelaza, Ewe King of
Kings; Nii Amugi, Ga King of Kings;
and Adeseayo Ado Dankwa III,
Akapem King of Kings).
Shekhem Ur Shekhem has also
taken part in the great Durbar of
Kings at the Golden Jubilee celebra
tion of the 50th anniversary of the
restoration of the Ashanti confederacy
in 1985, at the 1986 Odwira in Kum
asi, and the first annual lie Ife Day
festival on September 20, 1991. At the
lie Ife Day, Shekhem Ur Shekhem
was the guest of the Oni of Ife, Oba
Okunade Sijuwade Olubase II
(Yoruba King of Kings). During his
1986 trip for the Odwira, he was
given a formal reception by President
Rawlins. In addition, Ra Un Nefer
Amen I has been received in state by
the great Emir of Kano His Royal
Majesty Ado Bayero. Shekhem Ur
Shekhem was invited to attend the
reinternment of Kwame Nkrumah
as a guest of the government.
Most recently, Shekhem Ur Shek
hem visited Ghana for the Silver Ju
bilee of Otumfuo Opoku Ware II. He
travelled with 119 African Americans.
The group also visited the castles
where African people were taken into
slavery to the Americas from Ghana,
West Africa. The Ghanaians proclaim
ed this to be the largest group of Afri
can Americans to return at one time.
The government of Ausar Auset is
based on the African Divine Kingship.
Shekhem Ur Shekhem has conferred
two kingships and 10 queen mother-
ships to the heads of various Hespu
(states). In addition, the government
of the society includes many chiefs,
priest and priestesses, and a council
of elders.
Shekhem Ur Shekhem is respon
sible for the entire priesthood initia
tion program. His unique insight
into the system of words of power
from the Kamitic, Canaanite and
Indus Kush traditions has taken the
Ausar Auset Society to a great height.
His understanding of the sciences for
the cultivating and manipulating the
Life Force (Kundalilni, Ra, Chi, etc...),
meditation and trance manifestations
for the improvement of the spirit and
“possession” by “deities”, and ances
tors has enabled him as well to initi-

ate, over the past decades, thousands
of individuals into the “mysteries” of
ancient Black civilizations. One of the
greatest and most profound impacts
Shekhem Ur Shekhem has made in
the lives of African Americans has
been in the area of socializing the use
of oracles. Oracular consultation is
used by society members in making
major decisions, for example mar
riages, naming ceremonies, etc.
Shekhem Ur Shekhem is a prolific
author whose books have enjoyed
international circulation. He is the
CEO of Kamit Publications, which has
published over 20 books. He is the
only Black writer to have authored
technical instruction manuals on the
ancient African cosmologies (Kabala),
and meditation systems (The Realiza
tion of Neter Nu - 1975; Meditation
Techniques of the Kabalists, Vedan-
tins, and Taoists - 1976; The Oracle of
Thoth - 1977; The Ritual Systems of
Ancient Black Civilizations, Vol. 1, 2
& 3 - 1989; The Metu Neter Vol. 1 -
1990; The Metu Neter Vol. 2 - 1994;
TOLM - Tree of Life Meditation
System - 1996; and Men’s Mind Body
Connection - 1998).
Through his nationwide classes
and his publications, the Shekhem
Ur Shekhem was the first to popular
ize homeopathy’s use in African
American communities and is chiefly
responsible for the spread of homeo
pathy in the Black community
(Health teachings of the Ageless
Wisdom, Vol. 1 - 1980; Vol. 2, 1983,
Female Health Disorders - 1982; A
Nutritional Handbook, Optimizing
Health through Nutrition, etc...)
He was the first to address the pro
blems of Black male and female rela
tionships through an African cultural
perspective and to publicize that the
cause of the problems besetting the
Black family is western culture, and
that the solution resides in the re
establishment of traditional African
culture in American culture in Amer
ica (Black Women, Black Man in a
Quandary - 1977; Black Women’s
Black Man’s Guide to a Spiritual
Union, - 1981; and Afrocentric Guide
To A Spiritual Union - 1993).
Many can and have testified to the
benefit they received from the teach
ings, consultations and rituals given
by Shekhem Ur Shekhem.
