The House of Netjer is a Kemetic Orthodox temple located in the metropolitan area of Chicago, Illinois. It was recognized as a temple and seminary by the State of Illinois in 1993 and gained federal 501(c)3 tax-exempt temple status in 1999. The House of Netjer was founded in the late 1980s, by the founder and later Nisut (a Kemetic title for the cultural and religious authority, often translated "ruler" or "king" in a political sense) of Kemetic Orthodoxy, H.H. Tamara Siuda (AUS). In 1992, the Rev. Craig Schaefer joined the House of Netjer as its administrator. At its founding, the temple was called the House of Bast (a Name of Netjer to Whom a number of original House members were dedicated, in part), but changed its name in 1993 in order to reflect, more accurately, that all Names of Netjer are worshipped here.
