The Wiccan tradition called Kemetic Wicca or Egyptian Wicca is the adaptation of Gardnerian Wicca of the pantheon of Egyptian gods and goddesses. One school to focus on the trinitarian family of Osiris and his wife/sister Isis, and their falcon-headed son, Horus. Others prefer Maat. Sacred symbols such as the Ankh (the ancient Egyptian symbol for life), and Eye of Horus/All Seeing Eye are very popular in this sect. Some try to copy the religious rituals of the ancient Egyptians and the Book of the Dead (ancient Egyptian book describing spells and rituals used during embalming and other various rituals) is sometimes used as a reference. In real life, the Book of the Dead was not called that. It was known as the Book of Coming Forth by Day. To call it the Book of the Dead is incorrect. Kemetic Wicca is also refered to as Tameran Wicca. Tamerans are mostly eclectic and solitary practitioners. There are schools and seminaries that can be taken on-line and in person. See also
