Welcome to the House of the Two Lands

Welcome to Tawy House, home to the House of Netjer, the main physical temple of the Kemetic Orthodox Religion from 1993–2013. Tawy House Joliet, approximately 45 miles southwest of Chicago, was in operation from October 2003. A previous center (“Tawy House I”) was located in southwest Michigan between 2000 and 2003 and closed when Tawy House II/Joliet opened.

Tawy House offered a full-time physical Kemetic Orthodox temple with services, special spiritual retreats, rituals, fellowship gatherings, and conferences, and was also home to the administrative offices of the House of Netjer and its clergy. This website served as our hub to announce Tawy House related retreats, ceremonies, and events. Unfortunately due to a combination of economic downturn and the global nature of our religion meaning that we did not have enough members capable of coming to the Illinois physical location to sustain it, Tawy House closed down to temporary use after 2013 and eventually was completely closed and sold. Currently the House of Netjer remains active online with 24/7 internet-based interface and daily programming, and it is also physically active in various areas around the world where members and clergy are located or can gather for periodic events, and we do not have a single centralized physical location. This website remains as a historical marker of our physical temple’s history and presence and will be updated into an archive.
