ATEFU
Father. Man. King. Legacy.
Atefu is the ancient Kamitic word for FATHER; or the man who leads, protects, builds, and carries his lineage forward. This conference is named for that man. It is built for that man. And it exists to remind that man of exactly who he is.

Trained as a concert pianist, composer, and music theoretician, Ra Un Nefer Amen devoted his life to spiritual service, authoring more than 50 books and composing over 100 meditation pieces. His seminal works include the Metu Neter series, Tree of Life Meditation, and Maat: The 11 Laws of God. He also created the Metu Neter Oracle, a 70-card divination system rooted in Kamitic cosmology that has guided spiritual seekers worldwide since 1990.
Internationally recognized for his profound insights into African spirituality and the wisdom of ancient civilizations, Ra Un Nefer Amen continues to lead a global community through the Ausar Auset Society’s chapters across the U.S., U.K., Canada, Africa, and the Caribbean.
